    Sprinter BLUETEC Problems

    True. The big trucks have been having reliability issues since the the introduction of EGR. I am all for clean air. I think the EPA shot itself, and us, in the foot by pushing past the 2007 regulations on diesel emission's before the technology had a chance get ironed out. Hopefully it won't...

    What does your screen name mean?

    Fenderbender: it was, I guess still is, my CB handle. It's because I play guitar. Fender Strat and Tele. Are my electrics of choice. Of course people just assume it has something to do with my driving record. :)
