I am an owner with a partner as operator of a Sprinter for 2+ yrs. I also work in IT and have seen my skills become obsolete very quickly. My advice would be to stay out of expediting. There are straight trucks and vans out there that are definitely making money or they would go out of...

RE: GMC 3500 with 16' Box or a Sprinter, which is Thanks Greg, I also found a website www.europarts-sd.com that has good prices for maintenance supplies/parts etc.

I thought they were lying, but then I thought they were not really qualified to diagnose/fix the problem anyway. The Freightliner dealer told us that the Transmission Flex Plate had broken in turn caused the camshaft and crankshaft sensor to go out. I'm still suspicious that the Flex Plate had...

In May 2004, we purchased a Freightliner Sprinter 3500 dually. I had read several threads about other folks experience with them and after 2 years and 200K miles, I want to tell a little of my experience. I would rate the van itself as very good. I rate the customer service as poor. The first...
