    Affordable RV Shops to Install Espar and roof vents in 06 Sprinter?

    My advice is to seek out a place that does it as a business and not as a "Oh I've done that before" place. Well a RV shop may be good at roof vents but I'd seek out a place that installs Espar for a living.

    Should i buy a box truck or a flatbed for expedited frieght?

    I think (if they'd sign you on) with a flatbed straight truck you could stay pretty busy with Landstar by picking loads off their load boards....not sure but I see a ton of good paying loads that would fit on my 22 footer if it was a flatbed. you'd have to sign on with Express because Ranger...

    Dash cams

    I'm also thinking of getting one....the one I'm considering mounts on the windshield and also has a wired remote camera that can be placed just about anywhere in the cab....I'm thinking of placing the remote camera to the lower corner of the windshield in front of the drivers seat....I think...

    Question for van owners who use generators.

    You can also buy light weight hardened chain instead of Big chain...standard bolt cutters may not be able to cut through it.

    Fan Clutch on a dt530

    tknight you hit the head right on the nail......went ahead and replaced the whole unit...with almost a million miles I decided to replace it...I hear the O-rings inside also tend to fail over a long period of time...thanks for the come-back!

    Fan Clutch on a dt530

    I tried the dish liquid method over and over but the fan hub isn't that easy to check that way because everything is hidden from view and I can't hear air escaping either...the air loss will also happen when the ignition is turned on without the engine running and this only happens on the #2 air...

    debris in fuel

    Buying diesel fuel from low volume locations can also lead to Algae contamination.

    Adding super cold fuel to my tank.. oops!

    Well when my truck went down due to Algae, Water and Debris it only had around 5k on it and before I started running it I pulled the drain plugs on both tanks and drained about 2 gallons from both tanks to remove any H2o that built up from condensation while sitting in storage.

    Adding super cold fuel to my tank.. oops!

    My Fuel didn't gell....the filters froze up due to water and the rock screen was full of debris.

    Adding super cold fuel to my tank.. oops!

    If the truck that fueled just before you, did it when the tanker was filling the tanks...you could get a real bad mixture of algae, water and debris delivered to your tanks just by what was remaining in the lines to the pump you're using. It happened to me after fueling at the Flying J in Fargo...

    Lucas oil stabilizer and below zero temps

    Well!....I had a hot air gun blowing on the batteries and a propane torch blowing in the direction of the oil pan and a battery charger hooked to the batteries...and a small shot of starting fluid (no glow plugs in this engine) and a waiting game....plus it warmed up to 15 degrees....I was told...

    Thanks for all the come backs! The batteries are Napa 950 ccas (4) all were tested and found in great condition about 3 weeks ago...one of them dropped to 10 volts under load and all the connections were cleaned and coated with a battery post protector and all were checked for leaks. I'll...

    Lucas oil stabilizer and below zero temps

    Has anyone here on EO ever had a problem starting an engine with below zero temps that was caused by thick oil with Lucas in it? Truck's batteries are 100% but it's slow cranking and won't fire up...there's Anti-gell in the tanks and the Espar is still running good....around 15 below up...
