I'm up to three trucks now in my little fleet and I like what I see with the new fuel. The two old FL70's run much smoother with the ULSD and I'm actually seeing a slight increase in MPG. I'm still using the same additives as I did with the old stuff but less of it. My newest truck 06 M2 with...

Thanks for the replies. The problem I was trying to resolve was the injector wiring which I paid CAT in Nashville $600 to fix, it lasted exactally 1000 miles then the wire came off again. The truck was in Texas when it went out the second time so, CAT dealer in Texas wanted another $600. I just...

Does anyone know the procedure and specifications for adjusting the valves on the 3126 Cat engine. If so, would you please advise me how to do it? Kathy

I did not get mine rebuilt yet but I did get quotes here in Dallas. To in-frame it was 11,300 to install a rebuilt was 12,200. Kathy

Does it get in the way of freight? What kind do you have? Where in the cargo area do you keep it? Does the gas smell as you travel down the road? Mine is just wide enough to get in the way.

I have finished my front-mount carrier on my Sprinter. What I had in mind is to carry a small generator and supplies on it. It protrudes 31 inches from the front of the van. Does anyone think I will get a ticket or have a problem with it? KL

Thanks I will try 1100 rpms. Kathy

Hi All, I think this question was posted before but I can't find it. What is the recommended idle speed for a Sprinter if it is going to idle for 8 hours. Thanks, Kathy

Thanks for the help. I feel better about filling it up now. Kathy

When I open the passenger side door on my FL70 there's a white plastic tank with a black screw-on lid. It looks like it is setting on the fuel tank but I guess it is bolted to the truck. Can anyone tell me what liquid should be put in it? It looks like it has water in it right now. I think it is...

Thanks, I will do that. Glad you mentioned it, I hadn't even thought about that! Kathy

Thanks for the help! I got it installed. I used 1/4" X 1 1/4" bolts with a lock washer and nut under the van. I had plenty of room in most places. I used a stop on the drill bit so I would not drill through the fuel tank. I didn't have a helper so I used super glue on the bolt heads to keep...

Has anyone mounted track on the floor of their Sprinter? I would like to know how to deal with the area over the fuel tank? Did you have to drop the tank? Was there enough room between the tank and body (does not look like it) for a bolt, washer and nut? I thought about mounting it on the...

If you are going to go with a rooftop A/C unit you should look at camping world. Be sure you balance the generator with the AC unit. The sprinter is already punched on the top in the cargo area for a roof top A/C or power vent. I was able to get a 1250 watt generator to run the roof air I plan...

Just thought I would let everyone know the progress on my carpet project. I found some carpet at Lowe's that had a non-slip backing. It comes 6 foot wide and cut to whatever length you ask for. It has a short pile and was very easy to work with. I pulled everything out of the cab, cut the...

It is the drive tires that are caps. My steers are not caps.

Today I called a local tire store to get pricing on drive tires. The tires that are currently on my truck are re-caps and have 75% of their tread left but on one tire the seam is starting to seperate. The tire store guy told me that if I'm running the truck over the road I can't use recaps. Is...

Update on the floor repair: I finished the floor repair today. The really good news is that I was able to find the laminated wood that I needed at Dallas Trailer Repair. The 1 1/8" wood was right at 7.00 a foot and thanks to everyone's advise I was able to keep the repair under 350.00. I broke...

Upscale Automotive finally released a front mount hitch for the Sprinter. The current version is only good for carrying a cargo box with a weight limitation of 300 pounds. That's enough capacity for what I need. I just want to carry a small generator(52 lbs.), tools and a few other items that...

Has anyone tried Amsoil in their Sprinter? If so, how many miles do you have on it?
