Gas engine not available in 170” extended ...

Got a link to one ? I can't find any evidence this is so.

Fix whatever is wrong with yours that causes it to "beat you up". Mine rides as well as a new one.

There was a gathering in Flagstaff in June of people who live in vehicles. Ranger kicked them out after 5 days because there were over 100 attending and you need a permit if over 75. I was there but left before that occurred. Some moved down to Cottonwood area and I think that may be where the...

Agree ! I much prefer these to the popular MS/2 which I found very disappointing. I now have a set of Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure with Kevlar, and they have better snow/ice/rain traction than the Michelin AT/2 and are very quiet. I only used them thru winter, so life expectancy is...

Get a small wood clamp, the metal ones with the plastic clamp ends. Flip the handle so clamp pushes instead of clamps. One end sits on gas pedal, other end catches bottom lip of dash. Micro adjustable by squeezing clamp handle. Of course the Sprinter, having fly by wire throttle connection...

What can't flex sometimes cracks. Buildings flex, bridges flex, big trucks that go off-road flex. Not smart enough to know if Ford does it that way intentionally. That scenario is not very likely in use, at any rate. On the other hand, no flex is a big plus for suspension tuning, feel, etc..

I have a 1500 watt Go Power ! Expensive and worth every penny! This is powered by two, 214 ah 6 volt AGM batteries, charged from alternator via Hellroaring Technologies isolator, with remote switch for auto/manual charging as well as manual disconnect. I also keep a battery charger connected...

I say ask FlyingVan what "without issue" means...

T1N does not have DPF. No need for low ash oil. Rotella T6 does not claim compliance with the Mercedes specification for the 2.7 litre engine but, is a very good oil that many people use without issue. Same can be said for the white bottle non-synthetic Rotella. That, however, is a 15W-40...

Not true, the '05 does have coded injectors. Each has a unique # sequence that should be provided to the ecm via DRB lll or DAD unit. These numbers are based on injector flow and the ecm uses this info to fine tune fuel trim, unique to each cylinder. This optimizes power and efficiency. That...

Wayne put a remanufactured head on the engine that was in the Sprinter when I bought it. It lasted 20k miles... He wouldn't answer the phone or return calls when I tried to reach him. The shop that replaced the engine (Dr A's associates) found several examples of shoddy workmanship by Wayne...

Same experience here, and worse, with two of them. I bought mine thru Chrysler, remanufactured by Detroit Diesel in Kansas. The first one burned almost as much oil as fuel, like a quart every 1200 miles. Just about the time I convinced them to do an oil consumption study, the head gasket...

Only if the one way bearing is locked up. That will ruin a tensioner quickly.

Because they copied the Sprinter a little too well ?? :wacky:

I got a good deal ($450.00) on a 13,500 btu rooftop Dometic from Camper's Paradise in Charlotte. Lugged it on to Tuscaloosa and decided it was so hot it was going on NOW. Off to Lowes for a sabre saw, climbed onto the roof and had at it :nailbiting:

Same here...

By far, the best product I've used: http://www.amazon.com/Wipe-New-HDL6PCMTRRT-Headlight-Restore/dp/B00K889FCI#productDescription_secondary_view_div_1437873896231 Their plastic restorer is also fantastic. The rare occasion when the "as seen on TV" wonder product performs exactly as claimed...

I have a Yamaha 2400ishc and it's fantastic. Bigger and heavier than the various 2,000 watt options but, still manageable.
