    Continuous DEF Problems with Sprinters

    So as I understand the squires of the wrench (p1&gt) say the egr impacts the dpf, def,scr systems. Pondering this I can see it. As it leads in the chain of dysfunction. In my sprinter as time passed I cleaned the egr more frequently sometimes @ 35-40k intervals. I can see where this was...

    Continuous DEF Problems with Sprinters

    Tripping over mouse turds again. Despite defining the dpf as def it is a valid statement. They take to much babysitting. mechanics are not mechanics anymore just parts swappers based on what software tells them (aka computer) (few exceptions G t-shirt comes to mind) Computer looks @ same...

    payload for 2500 promaster high roof extended?

    No iguana, it's another way of saying I liked it (the leg room in this case). Specifically I'm alluding being slightly envious. <off thread topic> Grizzly I googled that, looks like a transit? A spin of the Movano usually attributed to a future GM van (European). The Nissan NV if desired is...

    payload for 2500 promaster high roof extended?

    Longer Nissan, I could go for that! Been sitting in one last couple days. (staying warm, he idles). It's got real leg room!!! & Much space for these feets (12's)! I'm impressed Cold as crap on the tundra round here. Yet I keep turning green instead of normal blue?!?

    //// Custom Tow rig for expedited RV work ////

    Many times you see these weird threads. You know their looking for someone to say "yeah that's cool" & get on board with it. Alas this is not one of those times (or threads).

    2017 MB Sprinter extended warranty

    Not really, I forgot what mine was but it was no where near 3.7k. (Not home w/paperwork so can't check either)

    2017 MB Sprinter extended warranty

    Power train & emissions systems (unless changed recently) are 100,000 mi. GEO would be the one to speak specifically on this. Course he is a fan of extended warranty too.

    Frito Lay Sprinter - Is this a 16 or 18 ft box?

    Hhhmm?! They might not be using the 9950 (9900 sprinter) chassis. I looked in one & quizzed the driver. It's intriguing, like the L1 thing. No one's tried it since it's a fleet only sales. Wheel wells intrude much less than a cube.

    Tesla Unveils All-Electronic Big Rig

    Update (& slight correction): France & England will ban the sale of both gas & diesel vehicles by 2040. India by 2030. While the C40 want vehicles out of city limits with their respective bans, counties are likewise following suit in their manner. The thought could be "these are small...

    Ford Transit extended purchase price????

    I would say Gwinnett place Ford. It's where I got mine. However the 18's are out. And they're not discounted presently. Might find a 17 still on their lot? What appealed to me with them was they spec the vehicles with the limited slip rear ends and engine block heater (for the most part)...

    payload for 2500 promaster high roof extended?

    A (to some) key difference is the ratio of the transaxle. The 1500 & 2500 are the same, the 3500 is lower. Specifically what I do not know. As a guess I'd say along the lines of 3.90 vs 4.11 Translate that as you will as it may or may not be relevant to you.

    Ram Promaster ESC Feature???

    I bet it is. This short wheelbase has me a bit concerned in this subject. Could be a liability. I've already thrown out the handkook HT's that were on here (lt235)65/16) had plenty of tread, but not for snow Continental vanco's the only other choice in that size. Another light snow tire...

    Ram Promaster ESC Feature???

    Yep that's what worries me with "all season" prefer the AT types. Like the handkook ATM. But in them days it was nasty Firestone AT's, horrible things they were. They slide looking at an ice cube in a glass a tea.

    Frito Lay Sprinter - Is this a 16 or 18 ft box?

    Sounds like Ohio, got fussed at one day cause of that (thought she was crazy, ranting like I'd stolen a baby or something). Virginia doesn't segregate like that. Sent Indiana back their EZ an went with Virginia. Easier to defend with home state rules, and never stray out of the EZ lanes...

    Frito Lay Sprinter - Is this a 16 or 18 ft box?

    Specifically the G.W.B, I know to in just a normal van on the WV turnpike you hit the EZpass lanes it's $2 go through a regular lane it's $2.85. stands to reason they'll jack it up when they see duals. I'm sure there's others.

    Frito Lay Sprinter - Is this a 16 or 18 ft box?

    He he he Stars inna eyes, rose buds inna pocket? Like looking at the pretty girl flashing her petticoats at you??? Hhhmmmmm? [Yeah I know now days, the skirt barely covers the butt, & usually no underpants on that. But that ain't poetic.] I just looked at one (transit) just a minute ago @...

    Frito Lay Sprinter - Is this a 16 or 18 ft box?

    Talked to a guy in Greensboro once had a box sprinter. Ran a lot up to Jersey. Can't remember exactly but I don't believe he said his mileage was inna 20's. High teens I believe. Course he did say he was a 70mph+ kinda guy. NO windscreen in front of the box either. Might be, could be...

    Mechanical 2005 Sprinter Recall

    You know you can pull the EGR out and clean it too right? Did mine every 50-60k. Can a brake cleaner & a small wire brush, all you need

    Ram Promaster ESC Feature???

    Damn OVM! Mine wasn't that bad, whew & glad of it too! But then I was usually careening through the snow (slip & slide) and may not have noticed. Always knew when the power cut though, cursed them Germans to no end. You can deactivate it up to 40mph. 41& up = always on.
