    2 skids vs 3 skids, how often in van

    I hope you are getting at least $1.25/mi for those 3-4000 lbs loads. Too much wear and tear on that vehicle for anything less. JMHO.

    Was at Wayne’s shop one time and he told me that way too many drivers are overloading their Sprinters. He’s seen a few that the freight feel through the floor. He said once the frame is broke then you have compromised the strength of the van. Welding it may work for 1000-1500 lbs loads but...

    Continuous DEF Problems with Sprinters

    One thing you could’ve done was get a delete done to the emissions system and that would’ve solved all your problems. That’s what I did to my 2012 Sprinter. MB fixed the problem awhile back (over sensitive sensors). I have a 2017 Sprinter now with 150k on it and no problems at all. I have a...

    Changing Bulb on Promaster

    On my 2017 sprinter there is a knob you turn and it pops out with bulb attached. Pop out pop in and your done. Takes about 3 minutes tops. A whole lot easier than my 2012. Plus there is a whole lot of room to get your hand down there on the 2017 without cutting up your hand.
