    I need a sprinter mechanic in the Kansas area. No dealerships. All recommendations appreciated.

    I checked for you. The favorite sprinter tune from Green Diesel Engineering seems to be discontinued. That also came with a backup of your factory tune with the new tune, which you applied yourself. Malone, if you need it after. (But I'd agree, engine replacement should have nothing to do with...

    So along with experimenting with online loans, I've been going over all the permits, rules and regulations necessary to become a Canada / US carrier. Dare I say I'm beginning to feel sympathetic towards our suits in the office :p

    Cargo Van G3 Transfer Corp. New Driver

    If the shippers got their act together and / or planned ahead, there'd be no more $1 a mile for a cargo van. Already we lost our most frequent customer to them buying their own 5 ton. Shipping all freight once per day instead of several van loads

    I need a sprinter mechanic in the Kansas area. No dealerships. All recommendations appreciated.

    The only issue I can see, is them not wanting to warranty the work due to an unknown tune. (Unless they're so by the book they try and say they can't release the "modified" van by state law) Of course if you don't tell them, maybe they'll assume all is good, and leave it alone?

    (To flyingvan post) specifcally how deleting the dpf def swirl valves and egr don't translate into being able to use an old style diesel oil, or even epa exempt motorcycle oil. Here in Canada they even import oil from markets that don't have DPF/DEF but its pricey. Epa wouldn't approve of...

    Cargo Van G3 Transfer Corp. New Driver

    No, I'm "leased" to a carrier (big one in Canada) so the jobs pay well, mostly their direct clients. I'm investigating other boards. But, I've been investigating since 2016...as soon as I find something useful, this forum will be the first to know Edit: I was a courier briefly in my local area...

    Sorry dude, you won't make it (as an expeditor). The advice for local work is good, it feeds me, and I take longer runs for gravy

    People, it's not THAT great. Keep in mind the loads are what nobody else thought would be worth taking Until there's an alternative, sleeping until my carrier calls with a higher rate than I could get myself isn't bad.

    I want a Job, but Need Help/Advice

    I usually experience sleeping on the floor in exotic locations, but I could see monuments :D Edit: that was unexpectedly funny. I see less monuments now passing age 45...o_O Serves me right for posting with no coffee

    I want a Job, but Need Help/Advice

    I've heard that many times. I'm not going to knock it. I'm on the fence as far as the future goes...buy a newer van, or a 5 ton? My last del a couple of days ago I got :noentrysign: , and in winter, average 22 mpg. Never having driven a straight - are you guys getting $3 a mile at 11 mpg...

    Not that I've taken a long look, my 2005 is factory deleted...can you point me to a thread, or sum it up?

    2.1 + delete everything + motorcycle oil = 1,000,000 mile sprinter (in theory) You'll all hear about it on this forum if I get to try BlueTec Diesel Oil | Stephens Service Center - Sacramento's Best Mercedes-Benz Service & Repairs

    ugly side

    Sounds like you hit most points in your first post. Hate authority? Don't get along well with others? Fortunately there's expediting in a van :D

    ugly side

    All expedite van drivers have something mentally wrong with them, and this is a safe outlet while protecting the public

    Lol. Tried a service that requires you to enter your banking username and password, it then gains access to your account and makes a decision. (Haven't worked since Nov 3 so the balances are not worth worrying about for access) So as I don't borrow money it came up with an amount of $300 until...
