Hi 1)Touching the glass part of a halegon bulb is a big no no.Touching the glass when installing bulb will cause it to burn out very quickly. 2) check for loose or corroded wires where the bulb plugs in and at the interior light switch. 3) check relay.they are usually under the hood...

Hi That should be parts and labor.But if you can change spark plugs then you can replace the glow plugs.Just remember to disconnect the batteries because if you accidently touch the wires while your grounded against the truck it will shock the crap out of you.I always change them as a set for...

Hi Somethings you can do at little or no cost are Wax the truck Jack up the front of the truck and check tire pressure,see if the wheel spins freely and then have someone jam on the brakes while your spinning the tire to be sure the brakes release fully and quickly.Check wheel bearings by...

Hi I would love to see a hybrid cargo van.It would cut my operating expense in half.If the company still paid fsc based on the fleet average fuel cost I'd make a killing. Plus if they stayed with a 30+ gallon fuel tank I would only have to fill up half as often and I could be pickier about...

Hi I wasn't using it and ended up with algea in the tank.It clogged up the fuel filter.Long story short it cost me 3 days off work,half a tank of fuel,3 fuel filters and 1 guart of algicide.And I was lucky, the neighbor kid had to buy a new fuel tank,injectors,pump and the cost of disposal of...

Hi Don't know much about a Sprinter,but if it was a Ford I would be checking for air restriction or a bad clutch fan.

Hi I think the main problem with a global econimy is that corporations will be in control of everything.They are not the most trust worthy people. I understand Microsofts idea of haveing parts made all over the world will help keep peace.If China attacks Taiwan then they both loses financially...

Hi Does the Sprinters have an aux tranny cooler?If so how big is it and where is it located?

Hi I need to raise my garage.Has anyone ever done this?It needs to come up >16 inches.The bottom of the trusses is right at 8'.Any suggestions?

Hi I don't get it.Why do we have the illegal immigrant problem.All the jobs are moving down there but the workers keep moving up here.If big businesses keep sending job to Mexico maybe we should all move down there and send our earnings back to our families in the USA. And why is Mexico still...

Hi Yep I've had it happen.The bendix gets stuck.Usually tapping the front of the starter with a hammer will make it spring back.I didn't know it could be caused by low voltage though.Just always considered it a warning that the starter is going bad.

Hi I hope so but I have my doubts.I seen some of the spy pics for the new van and it looks just like the old one except they made the hood longer.Ford needs to quit dragging their feet on getting the Transit to us.If they keep on waiting, Nissan will bring over their Euro van.Which is has a...

Hi RLENT I used 1/2 Tuff R and then covered that with that cheap paneling that they use to put in bathrooms.Can't remember what they call it but its water resistant and is very easy to clean.I got the lightest color I could because it makes the cargo area look cleaner than what it actually...

Hi I don't have a Sprinter but don't do what I did with my first van.I put the floor e-track right beside the wheel wells.I figured it would save me from having to cut the plywood twice, but then they were spaced to far apart for 30 x 30 bins.Even when I crossed my straps over the freight the...

Hi If the check engine light comes on make sure to tell the shop that you connected red first.When you do that the computer will register a 603 code.Its no big deal an can simply be ignored and erased if the shop knows before hand what caused the code.But if they don't know and they just go by...

Hi There are only two systems that use enough juice to drain a battery in minutes.The heater/ac and the starter.Both are very noticeable either the starter would not disengage which make a horrible noise or the heater blower motor runs all the time.Sounds like it a problem with the batteries or...

Hi If you have a multi-tester you can easily isolate the problem.Set the tester to 20 volts DC.Remove the negative battery terminal, place the red probe to the battery post and put the black probe to the terminal end.If you get a reading above.100 something is draining your battery.If you have...

Hi Check glow plug wiring harness.It sounds like one cylinder isn't preheating, then once it get up to temp it is firing normally.This setup wasn't one of Ford's better ideas.Also check for oil on bell housing (bad o-rings)Injectors are actuated by oil pressure and are prone to blown...

Hi I like NAPA's.I clean all body grounds and the connection to the starter every 6 months.Also spray terminals with battery terminal protectant.This coating turns clear when there is a loss connection.So all I have to do is look at the terminals to be sure they are making good contact.Good luck.

HI You can reset the computer by disconnecting the batteries and letting the truck set overnight.Or by cycling the key 10 times.If you broke the wire off of the air sensor you can fix it by pushing an eye glass screwdriver through the back side of the sensor then pull the pin out through the...
