    Winter wipers on a Sprinter

    For whatever reason, Paypal doesn't want to allow the payment to INRS. And, there is no other method to pay them. Oh well.

    Winter wipers on a Sprinter

    Funny. I'm still on my first cup. Sitting in my recliner watching Fox News with several of my dogs sharing my lap on my yearly Christmas vacation. I suppose I could buy 2 sets and cut one of the extras to extend the driver side. That way I would have a spare if needed. Ready to push...

    Winter wipers on a Sprinter

    I'm not sure if cutting them down will increase their length. But, thanks.

    Winter wipers on a Sprinter

    Thanks for the Slushbuster information. The FAQ says it accommodates 19 - 24 inch blades. My Sprinter uses a 26 inch blade on the driver side and 24 inch on the passenger side. Will I have any issues? Thanks.

    Am I killing my diesel sprinter by letting it idle?

    My high idle has me at 1200 RPM. I think that is a good idle speed.

    Am I killing my diesel sprinter by letting it idle?

    All of our Sprinters at A. Blair have the high idle (ADR) installed on our vans. It was determined that most drivers were idling so much that there was possible damage to the engine. I have an Espar installed in my Sprinter, but even I know that when I'm way up north and the temperature is 0...

    def blue tech for sprinters

    I carry 3, 2.5 gallon containers purchased at T/A (T/A containers have a small "relief" valve which makes it easier to fill the van). I fill the containers at the Pilot bulk tanks at $2.79 per gallon. I usually put in 2.5 gallons every 2500 to 3000 miles. If I spill DEF, I just laugh at my...

    Kudos to all the help I got

    For those of you who didn't see my posts about the trouble I had charging my aux batteries, I just wanted to share how everybody who responded to my post helped me. Espar of Michigan, one of my favorite companies to do business with, who sold me my isolator and 150 amp breaker, was very...

    Charging my Aux batteries. What am I doing wrong?

    Turtle, I was told that once you saw my post you would have the answers. Although I got it fixed before I got your post, you were right on target. It was the isolator not being grounded. And I had the voltmeter set up incorrectly. The Best Buy guy fixed it for me and showed me how to use it...

    Charging my Aux batteries. What am I doing wrong?

    THE PROBLEM IS SOLVED!!!!!!! THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!!! I went to Best Buy in Laredo on Loop 20. I have talked with their auto audio service guy before and had him check my circuits. The circuits were fine, except... I only had 10 volts coming out of the isolator with 14 going in. I...

    Charging my Aux batteries. What am I doing wrong?

    Yeah.... Just because I bought a multi-meter does not make me smart enough to know how to use it. I was able to get a lot of sparks, but no readings. I know I have a circuit up to the isolator. When I check if there is voltage coming from the isolator to the aux batteries, I don't know if...

    Charging my Aux batteries. What am I doing wrong?

    I just bought a multi-meter at Walmart and I'm set to start checking the circuit. Wish me luck.

    Charging my Aux batteries. What am I doing wrong?

    Yes, the Truckfridge would be an issue, except I no longer have it running off the inverter from the aux batteries. It's running off the main battery. The Truckfridge uses less draw than a Coleman cooler that runs all the time. When I was driving from Nogles to Laredo, it was mostly night...

    Charging my Aux batteries. What am I doing wrong?

    A bad isolator was my next guess. But until I can get a volt-meter I have no way of knowing if I have a circuit from the main to aux battery through the isolator. What would happen if I bypass the isolator temporarily so long as I can monitor the starting battery to be sure it stays charged...

    Charging my Aux batteries. What am I doing wrong?

    Living in Arlington, TX was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me when I started expediting in 2004. Do you realize how often I can drive home en route to any place north from Laredo/McAllen/El Paso and south to Texas? I never take home time because I always pass by the house. I'm just...
