Mercedes Benz doesn't have to redesign anything. They have had the single wheel 3500 Sprinter in the European market for a few years now. It uses a standard front wheel, but they use a wider rear wheel for the back axle. The single wider wheel is narrower than the dually wheel setup, but has...

No beer while I am in service and since I only go OOS when I'm at home once every few months, let's just say few and far in between cold beer. We started out with a Sprinter so I know what you mean. I am enjoying the life of luxury now.

We checked all of the places we could think of online, prices ranged from $1295 to $1799 for my model. On top of that shipping was $120-$199 for the unit. Rv dealers price was on average about $1599 plus installation. Bolt custom sleepers (Bentz Sleepers) who designed this sleeper can install...

Thanks for the info on the Truck fridge. After looking at their site the direct replacement model for our truck is $1395+ shipping. We want one that fits the same hole that the Norcold is in, that way we don't have to modify the sleeper. Bolt sleepers has the direct replacement Norcold for less...

Just to answer some questions .... The fridge has a manufacture date of 06/09/08. When we pulled the unit out of the cabinet there was dust on top of the unit, but the coils on the back barely had any dust on them. Besides the two rows of coils, all we can see is the compressor and the...

All the belts are good, since i replaced the frayed one to the alternator. The safety switch is zip tied/bypassed. It has the metal cooling tank. The error is a Charging Battery Fault, wich leads me to beleive there is eith a short in the Alt or a short in the speed sensor. But seeing as the...

Yes, the pulley did spin when the belt was off.

Hey folks, we have a 2007 Sterling with a 960 Bentz sleeper. The truck is equipped with a RigMaster APU and a Magnum industries power inverter. This morning we woke up to the inverter alarm going off and the display read "Battery Charging Failure". The APU shut itself off. After removing the...

The truck we have now has 2 17k lb hydraulic rams mounted instead of landing gear. Each ram is individually controlled by a switch, that way you can level out the truck on uneven pavement. The combined 34k lbs lifting capacity of the two rams can even lift up both axles completely off the ground.

I bought my 06 brand new in April of 07. From then till July of this year we put roughly 555k miles on it. Besided the general wearable parts such as alternators, belts, pulleys my major repair has been the trans. The trans finally went at roughly 530k miles. I attribute the parts lasting as...

Xiggi was refering to a new Sprinter.

Ah, the set screw is a different story.

I used to do about 93% of the maintenance on my Sprinter.

What about spinning the knob off and pushing the actuall button in, that will let you remove the lock.

I've seen the Red Rio at shows the past year or so. She's a big beauty. I've always wanted go see the inside of it.

Linda, check out hte underside of new Landstar trailers. the have a blue plastic air deflector mounted on the belly of the trailer. Its supposed to push the Air around the rear axles. This might work with your tuck away lift gate, with a slight modification to let the driveshaft pass thru...

Few other things i forgot to mention. Look for spots of chaffing along your air lines,, second, check your air tanks for any exterior rust or corrosion. It might be a tiny pinhole letting air slowly escape the tank..

O.e thing you can do is get a spray bottle with soapy water and start spraying at your secondary tank, then the lines and go from there. Look for bubbles after you spray and you might find your air leak.

Eddie, I'm glad Wayne was able to get you in on a Sunday and get you fixed up for a great price. About the pulleys,,i always carry a spare set, just in case. Wayne has worked on my van numerous times, all while saving me thousands over dealer prices. One example was he was able to fix the...

I understand wanting to carry more fuel because of the price, but have you thought of the additional weight you would be carrying by having another 28gallon tank added. The additional weight would be around 240 lbs.
