BLS just reported yesterday that unemployment is finally under 6% ...

... for the deadhead miles ... loaded miles pay $8 ...

Yup ... ;)

Best to cover any glass (windows, windshield) - from the outside - ideally with a reflective surface (that silver bubble wrap is a good candidate)

Yes - aside from the potential health hazard of breathing the glass fibers, fiberglass batting will hold moisture which makes it less effective, or ineffective. I'd recommend solid sheet insulation: styrofoam, extruded or expanded polystyrene, available at various building supply stores...

Since you were originally replying to Dreamer, I assumed that you referring to an '06 or earlier ... since I believe that is what he has ...

If the controller is internally fused for each individual glowplug (and it is), how would that "wipe out the controller" ?

Not always true - FWIW, Sprinters have a clutch on the alternator - but it isn't the type of clutch you normally think of when you think "clutch" ... Nope - the "drag" is dependent on the electrical load on the alternator (which is tied to the power it is producing) In any event, the amount of...

It is not just to "test" - it is required for the (some ?) alternator(s) to (initially) produce any output at all ... From the Wikipedia link I provided that describes how automotive alternators function ... specifically a portion of the 4th paragraph under the "Automotive Alternators" heading...

Are you sure about this ? To clarify my question: is that true before the alternator actually starts to produce an output ? IOW: Does the alternator require an electrical input ... in order to start producing an output ... even if the output is self-sustaining once it starts ? I think that...

I'm thinking that whoever dreamed this little tidbit of a "fix" up needs to be taken out back behind the woodshed and just slapped silly: Things must be dull and boring over at Expediter Services and Stoops ... since it appears that they are going out of their way to have the Sprinter folks...

I dunno ... I'd think it would be easier to pull the intake hose off than to pull or cut the oil line to the turbo ... The oil feed line to the turbo on my Sprinter is steel and secured to the turbo with a banjo bolt ... and it's not all that accessible ... although if one had just replaced the...

... to you ... I assume that the person I was replying to can speak for themselves if they were offended (rather than relying on you) ... if memory serves, they have done exactly that on multiple occasions, when they felt it was appropriate ... (Note to self: LDB has very tender sensibilities...

That would be the converse of ... the model of complete lack of restraint ... which could be characterized by say, oh ... I dunno ... the idea that email spammers ought to be summarily executed with a bullet behind the ear ... and other similarly whack-a-doodle notions ... I have no idea what...

You have no idea how many of your posts I let slide ... In light of that, I might be considered, by some, to be the model of restraint ... :p

Perhaps that explains why I received no reply whatsoever to the last email I sent to Espar of Michigan this past December 11th, regarding what I noted as problems with the units performance and/or design. Something that I can assure you was highly disappointing after spending roughly $5K on the...

Kempthorn in Canton used to sell it for around $6 or $7 a quart ... but I haven't checked lately ...

I've had mine go nearly - but not quite to - the 250 mark (heavy load, climbing a steep, long grade, in summer) Either the owners manual or the service manual (for my 2006) states that anything up to the red zone (250F degrees) is considered normal and acceptable, depending on the particular...

It's up there ... but still way, way cheaper than the actual "cloaking option" (your choice: Romulan or Klingon version)
