No sense of adventure. Looking forward to trying out cricket energy bars, and maybe a dried spicy tarantula

There's always that bastion of free enterprise in NY, Irving...2.13 for diesel and 2.06 for gas yesterday...course they should be selling for 1.80 without the taxes...

Somebody started drinking early :D Informative read though, I'm stuck home today Edit: 23,000 cubic kilometers would be a lot of beer

Had the regular run to WV...was treated to an air show on the way there...someone in a stunt plane was pulling out all the stops over the QEW, loops rolls the whole bit...did a stall right over the highway and hung there for a few seconds, then buzzed low enough I could almost make him (her?)...

All done...mounted with bolts not self tapping screws....recommend everybody check their connections and grounds once a year even if working, there were a lot of corroded terminals even though mine was working...using a DMM is a great way to make sure your voltages and grounds are doing what...

On my list now, I'm getting 3.5 volts from my manual switch with it off Edit: must be a spring loaded getting weak, it gradually disconnects

Hmm. Only 2.5 volts thru the washer, 12.7 thru the cable...also found a bad ground, thru a seat bolt that must have gone nowhere...i used my laser printer yesterday (50 amp load) grounding thru the inverter case, that was safe :eek:

Researching proper grounding, I see a warning about steel washers being high resistance and getting hot with higher loads, possibly causing damage...going thru my install and removing any on the connection, not fastener side...who knew?

90 degree weather here at home, took the van to get kids Dairy Queen... 30 dollars for 4 blizzards...after, trip to the store for TP we're all lactose intolerant :D

Glad it worked! In my case after replacing the control board it was a little trickier, needed a couple resets to get out of second...

Did you have to do a key cycle? I had to reset then turn key off, twice...

Problem solved, just take a large truck spot! :D

Some of the long time sprinter owners don't believe this, thanks for the confirmation

Here's a con. Mounting an inverter on the cargo partition and getting slammed by your personal freight during a sudden stop. At least I could see the problem in the dark from the sparks...

Yes, 50% of the time I get car rate for border crossing at Ft Erie (2.70 instead of 5.40) they're too busy to override it at the cash booth...as for height I was told by an operator it would charge, haven't tried it yet I'm too cheap Edit: This van I haven't got away with it yet, might be a...

Depended on timing. If you went by enough you'd see that sometimes the reserve is more expensive than Ohio...they set prices according to NY And in the sprinter I take RT5 all the way, no double toll overheight for me :D

True. I just enjoy giving places a personal lifetime ban for some reason. Like the Ashtabula pilot...have had more than one argument in there when they demanded I pay for fuel...twice...how did i start the pump without using a credit card, genius?

This marvel of engineering might fix me. Total cost 1.70. For public purposes I'm only using it to test the egr not disconnect it :D

Then people get upset that we've been driving upteen hours. Can't make people happy. I've never been kicked out of a rest stop, at least in the northeast lake Erie region... Should post a thread here for truck stops to avoid...kinda brings up memories of the police telling me it's illegal to...

I try and spend my money anywhere but the truck stop, then I don't get offended if they tell me to leave. It's always cheaper off the beaten path
