    Sprinter Bypass Filter Installation

    Can one of these be installed in the intestinal tract? I sure would like to go a few thousand miles without going.

    Ordered new Sprinter

    I don't know about that as I am not sure what vans get, and their fuel is cheaper. I get a little over 20 when I am running. My aux battery just alarmed out, and I am now idling to recharge it. Laptops burn major amounts of power for some reason.

    Ordered new Sprinter

    Yes, I get many loads that will not fit in a van also, and I think my first post sound a little negative, I did not mean it to. I am glad I have a Sprinter.

    Ordered new Sprinter

    Good luck with that. I hope you plan on spending more on it than a cargo van to operate. That said, I do like my Sprinter.

    Unsure

    I believe the 7 habits book by Covey would be a great addition to high school curriculum. It is a great guide for business, and life in general. I drove a TT for ten years, and I would not say I had "butterflies" backing up, however, when a skill becomes so ingrained as to allow a person to...

    Items that could improve Fuel Mileage

    They are OVM, in fact I get better mileage the more weight I haul. Well only on the downhill parts.

    My first big problem...

    Had to replace mine before the van even went in service. I think it was around 1000 miles. Only took about ten minutes in the shop. Mine is an 08 and under warranty, I don't know about the cost. I was told that idling will make it go bad. Have no idea if that is true. That is not why mine...

    Unsure

    If you wait til there is room to change lanes, don't go to Cali. I have noticed if you move slowly into the next lane there, it is almost impossible to hit anyone.

    Gasser Sprinter

    I could save a lot on the air powered car if it runs on hot air.

    Sprinter

    What kind of tires do you have? Can I run 80 in my Continentals? I have 70 all around right now. The tire says I can go up to 80. I would trade the ride for mileage anyday, but when I talked to three dealerships they all gave me different answers. I don't trust too many people, but I trust...

    Espar?

    I have the D2 unit which is the smallest one. Had it installed at Espar of Michigan. Total cost installed was 1600 bucks. I am in a Sprinter which is not insulated at all. (bad idea). I have a curtain which can block off the back which leaves me heating about 80 inches of space by 60...

    Rain-X

    I haven't used it on this van, though I used it in the past on various tractors, and I really liked it. I found that it was a good idea to clean the wiper blades first. It has been so long I cannot remember, though I think I used alcohol to clean them with. I think that stopped the black...

    Fuel Mileage in Cargo Vans

    I have not been doing this for long, but I did stay in a Holiday Inn last night. You are talking about going across the country, and I think it is unlikely you will get many loads like that running solo no matter what kind of truck you drive. I am averaging about 1000 miles per week, and I see...

    Sleeper Questions

    I have never stopped at a chicken coop in my Sprinter, nor do I log. My Sprinter is not a commercial vehicle according to the DOT. While I am on the subject, I hear a lot of argument about whether Sprinters have to stop at the scales or not. Does anyone know the deal on this?

    Do you pay attention?

    I recently attended the Bush/Cheney fuel price meeting, and brought up to them the issue of 1/2 shower fuel volumes at Flying J. They assured me that the amount required would remain at 20 gallons for the foreseeable future.

    Sprinter service

    Just to be sure we are clear here, I was not complaining about turtle, just thanking him, and pointing out that my capacity for thought is not what I wish it was. :)
