    Udate on stupid mistake.

    I hesitate to respond any further as our situation has been resolved in the last hour. I will say again we really enjoyed our time with E-1, I hate it that it was tainted by this problem. They came thru in the end. As for the poster above recommending small claims court, I will speak in generic...

    What did you do for Easter dinner today?

    Isn't it funny that to celebrate the resurection of Jesus, a jewish man, most people eat ham, something a jew would never eat. Maybe it's funny to me because I said it in a Jerry Seinfeld voice.

    A little help from the experts please

    It's listed, and there's a little wiggle room on the listed price. The thing is running miles and earning right now and has a new/rebuilt engine in it with around 30,000 miles on it, I know what that cost us, we're just trying to break even basically. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    A little help from the experts please

    I'm trying to sell my Sprinter, I won't hit the details as I know I'm already dangerously close to soliciting on this thread and I don't want to do that. I just need to know if you know of some other places to advertise a specialty van like this, and (if you've seen my add 06 w/sleeper) what I...

    How far up 75 could one get tonight ?

    Remember when I said I was gonna get back on the horse and ride? I shoulda grabbed a snowmobile. I accepted a load without checking the weather, going from N. Charleston to Saginaw, I'm pretty sure its gonna be late. I'm only going as far as I feel safe going, anybody know where the line might...

    So I nearly killed us

    I really appreciate the kind words, though I will say that I don't feel my issues are worthy of even being mentioned on the same day as Purgoose's sacrafices, let alone the same thread. And I take what Greg said in the spirit it was meant, I will definately try and take this hard knock and use...

    So I nearly killed us

    Last Thurs here in Myrtle Beach, we decided we needed a few days off and came home, we went to the bank and planned to pick up my Mother in-law and head to Sam's Club, When leaving the bank I needed to turn left onto bus 17, I had to cross 2 lanes to a middle area then go left. To our left about...

    Looking for ideas/input for a drivers facility.

    Have you never looked at the toilet seats in most truck stops? The number of men peeing on the seat because they're too lazy to lift it must be astronomical! Then they leave without washing their hands, savages is what they are, no way these disgusting animals can be trusted to clean up after...

    Looking for ideas/input for a drivers facility.

    How about a couple of treadmills? I find myself constantly wishing truckstops would have a little exercise equipment. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    I'm no mechanic

    The coolant issue is now the list, though I suspect he's been running it so long it wont matter. We got the van for a very good price and the engine had just been replaced with a rebuilt one, unfortunately it seems it was getting to be time for everything else to go bad so we're having a tough...

    I'm no mechanic

    Well it definately was coolant, I know this because I had to add a bunch when the low fluid light started to flicker. I bought this van from my father-inlaw and he was running Prestone 50/50, it's really light in color so thats why it looked clear. We ran our load up to Cleveland, we had to...

    I'm no mechanic

    I seem to have gotten the leak to stop, at least its just a drip. But I'm pretty sure its coolant. My wife and I had both commented about the lack of a strong diesal smell. As for the other thing you said about making it worse, that's exactly what I've done. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    I'm no mechanic

    After some.further research I have determined that the leaking liquid is most likely coolant. This research also concluded that I am indeed stupid. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    I'm no mechanic

    Good question, and further proof that I'm no mechanic, because I just don't know. Maybe I should have said that a clear liquid is leaking and dripping off of the EGR valve, I believe it to be fuel. Posted with my Droid EO Forum App

    I'm no mechanic

    What an amazingly informative post! Thank you sir. I can only hope that my efforts to remove the broken screw are a success, then I can live with the occasional problems until I can get home and order and replace the valve. I do have one question though, what idle RPM would keep the soot from...
