Same happened to my Pro-Heat/Carrier. It was the control module in the apu case right above the engine. Mine was under warrenty, but they ain't cheap. Mine got fried when a company jump started he truck.

I agree w/Dave. Most of that stuff has been tried in many fashions over the years and while some see some improvement, however slight, I could not ever justify a purchase. However, if you really, really want to see fuel mileage go up, use MotorKote. This has never failed me in anything that...

Just had a PM on my new (to me) truck at Speedco, Jackson, Georgia. Great job. I always stay in the bay to keep an eye on things, but I have never had a problem with Speedco. Plus always a break compared to Petro or TA or anyone else for that matter. Saves me well over $60 - $70 dollars...

RLENT.... You should be a service manager for Daimler! I can't help but tweak you guys when it comes to Sprinters. You and a few others seem to have them figured out and do a lot of work on these rigs on your own and that's a real good thing. I wish I had found you before a friend of mine...

I forgot about the KW I started expediting on. That was a pretty good rig too. Not great on fuel but it would roll down the road.

After reading a thread from a newbie.. I thought this might be a good topic. What is the best, nicest or both Expediter truck you have driven? I am still open but have driven Hino's (too small and no power) M2's (plenty of room, no power) International Eagle (nice) and soon.. Freightliner FL...

Always remember...SPRINTERS ARE JUNK! Stick to Ford or Chevy and you will sooooo much happier.

Like I mentioned.. a handful love their little German junk trucks.. no problem. just when someone who is just getting started expects us to give advice, I can't understand why anyone would reccomend that truck. Ford or Chevy run circles around that van in every single reliability and...

Ford Transmissions are good for 250K and that's about it. Good news, used $500. Easy in and out. The engines last forever. I sold my e-350 with 550K and it's still going strong. Sprinters are nothing but headaches. There's a few on here who apparently own stock in Mercedes but for all of...

JUNK IT. The motor will be next.

Hi Guido... please post a seperate thread for tire talk. This is Engine talk. Looks like the Detroit is the winner... sounds like a pretty stout motor. Thanks.

Thanks Dave... Looks like I found a pretty good truck. I'll let you know how things work out as we are still talking.

I am looking at a couple of older trucks. One is a 2000 FL 80 with a 3126 Cat @ 600K. Well maintained, no blow by, doesn't burn oil never a problem. Diagnostics and compression check all good. The second is a 2001 FL106 with The Detroit 50 engine and 450K. Well Maintained (this one sounds...

I am used to running as DT 466 at about 1800 rpm and that gave me about 70mph. Just test drove an fl70 w/cat motor and ran 2200 rpm for about 65 mph. Is this normal with this Cat motor??/ How is the fuel mileage??? Seems to be geared too low... Dave
