So my position on newer vehicles is well known, I can fix anything myself and find it unessessary. This will be useful to newbies as well. I'm doing some side work and they're trying to tell me that you can get more business off the load boards with newer equipment. I read that as the business...

To anybody new viewing threads, like tires, brakes, front-end, etc. If you are new to the business, you may get the wrong idea from some of the things I've posted. If you are not a mechanic, in the interest of safety, go with 2 or 3 opinions at different shops to help make a determination. My...

Replaced resistor, blower motor, cleaned contacts, checked all 3 fuseboxes, no blower even on high. Scan tool says short in blower stage 1. Any ideas before I start tearing parts out?

Sorry to bring it up - I need to budget now I was talking to a fellow driver on a transfer yesterday, his partner was stuck with a sprinter on I90 for a week a couple years ago...that same week I was driving by him twice a day in my Ram Van with posi and General Altimax Arctic tires... His...

These are not widely available yet, but has anyone else considered a Tesla power wall instead of a generator? 7 KWH model weighs 220 lbs so could be roof mounted, and give noiseless ac power say to a 500 w 5000 btu standard air conditioner for up to 12 hours...cost supposedly $3000 competitive...

Mounting to my truck, so I consider this truck talk... Currently using the free Navigator app on multi stop runs for a new customer as my company branches out in search of runs to keep drivers busy. It does a great job, I enter in the addresses of all my stops and hit "optimize" and it groups...

Just a check in here, I chickened out and changed the oil at 16,000 (mobil 1 European 0w40) but it says I have 2000 miles left, which would probably end up being 4000...timed change or trust assyst? Oil analysis, I'd rather just change it...

Finally had time to stop at a walmart stateside...indeed 22.00 for gallon of mobil one...Dodge/Freightliner/Mercedes Benz 2.7 liter diesel Sprinter vans oil filters wow can't believe I didn't find this before...anybody needing 229.51 NAPA has for 5.99 a quart...post anything here for saving...

I really like the idea of knowing what's up before the idiot light tells me the engine / tranny is fried. This isn't vehicle specific...what gauges did you add and why? Here's what I like, what do you run...

Anyone with this experience please what happened and the resolution...im trying to gather info off the net, I've got an increasing engine vibration...was dead smooth when I started it up to buy, but it's getting worse I also plan on putting a 200 amp alternator on at some point....this is for...

I don't have the option...i do see where they would go in the factory headlight, now do the bulbs go thru the small hole or do I need to cut out that round circle (no hole) to fit?

Nothing gives me the Hershey-squirts like a sudden flock of deer...stopped counting at 20 carcasses on I79 tonight, need bars that aren't just decorative

Yes it was 80 degrees yesterday but I like to plan and jump on deals when they come up... Had a Dana 60 in the Ram Van and never been stuck (snow over hood in Buffalo even their 100000 dollar storm response vehicle got stuck) No luck on Internet for locker...

I can see the soft double board that came with the sprinter won't hold up very long...with weight savings in mind what should I cover it with? I'd also rather not pull it up, it's riveted in... Cheap wood flooring, or roll flooring? Anything new out there you've tried? I am aware of all the...

No leaks - ideas?

The MBII code reader was a great purchase...has a feature where the malfunctioning part that sets limp mode is saved for later review, I verified the EGR setting LHM...I can pull over and clear LHM and continue driving normally until conditions set LHM again, saved me in the hilly parts of my...

Are they fairly strong? Do I need to slow down for railroad tracks? Trying to figure out how a shop could change backing plates and screw up the seals... I could have done it at the side of the road and it would have been fine... Never had an issue with leaking axle seals even at a million miles...

Is it the soothing drone of the 2.7 diesel? Is it the gentle lulling motion as the wind rocks me? The soft seats and comfortable driving position? Or do I have an exhaust leak? 6 hours today and I was getting sleepy. Same last 2 days. Just wondering, I'll read responses later I need a nap
