I'm not familiar enough with the shops in your area, but almost anyone who works on cars and knows electronics can do it. A Dodge dealer or any repair shop, for example, will have at least one tech that knows electronics, and will be able to install an aux battery and isolator with one eye tied...

RE: Dot in White Glove is NOT Leaving FedEx Custom Dot does the Polka, film at eleven.

Nationwide, only 2.4 percent of all Interstate crashes are cross-median crashes, yet that scant 2.4 percent accounts for a whopping 32.7 percent of all highway fatalities. From 1999 to 2000, 94 people in South Carolina lost their lives in 57 separate interstate crossover median crashes. From...

I think that these bridges should be upgraded or replaced in the same way that many of them were built, as part of a massive public works project. Tell people if they want Welfare, they have to build a bridge to earn it. :) Slow and steady, even in expediting, wins the race - Aesop

Yup. Here... http://www.upscaleauto.com/window_insulation.htm and here... http://secure.mycart.net/catalogs/catalog.asp?prodid=4757859&showprevnext=1 Same thing, either place. They're custom, stick on with suction cups, quick and easy to put up, quick easy to take down, and they're...

First, use a real battery isolator (Sure Power, Hellroaring, etc.), and not a simple solenoid switch. Not sure about currently, but Espar used to use a simple solenoid, so you may want to check with them on that. A real isolator is much, much better. A simple solenoid connects the starter and...

It was a guess, but the scenario I described is very common one. It's so common that I had about a 90% chance of nailing it. There's an old saying in the deep cycle battery world: "Deep cycle batteries don't die, their owners kill them." Most people do not understand deep cycle batteries. Why...

How often do bridges just up and collapse? Even the ones which are inspected and found to be "structurally deficient" as was the case in Minnesota? Not very often. It's not like we have a bridge-collapse epidemic on our hands, where every week there's another one dropping into the river. The...

Could be a short, bad ground, bad cables, cables that are too thin, corroded connectors, some phantom no-load draw, whatever, but, generally speaking, when multiple batteries go bad at the same time and are unable to hold a charge under a controlled load test, the cause is severe sulfation...

Hooters girls.

During times of stress, I will generally turn on the CB and pretend that everything I hear is a line from Brokeback Mountain. I'm loaded heavy today. I'm pullin' a dry box. Back that thing on in here. That's it, slide it right over. JB Hunt, what are you doin'? Hey, big truck, you want outta...

Ah, kewl. That radio will play burned WMA and MP3 discs, so you'll like it. That one is one of the "SAT Ready" units that will accept inputs from either XM or Sirius tuners. (It's also iPod ready with a Pioneer iPod adapter). All you need for satellite radio for that stereo is either an XM or...

Lookin' good. :) Can you completely remove the pedestal under that passenger seat? Make sure that that recliner is insanely comfortable. Comfortable is the key to expediting. If you're not comfortable in the van, you won't want to spend much time in it. And good, comfortable sleep is...

OVM, if you were to choose one product, I'd recommend 4 ounces or so of the Meaner Power Kleaner at all times where the temperatures are likely to be above freezing, and then use Howes Diesel Treat in sub-freezing temperatures. Even then, I'd still recommend tossing in a few ounces of Power...

If the van is insulated well, the D2 should be fine. It'll have to work harder, but it will, absolutely, keep you toasty. The D2 will work in this Sprinter, too, but I went with the D4 for several reasons. The way the Airtronic works is, it'll go through its warm up, then fire up in BOOST mode...

The switches on the cargo lights in the Sprinter are the worst. The driver dome light in the Freightliner version is the same as the cargo lights. I swear, some kid brought home a box of Cracker Jacks, and a his dad, a Mercedes engineer, saw the prize in there, and decided it would be perfect...

" Maybe a dumb question, but why not use the flooring and tie downs that come in the sprinter?" You can, certainly. But the flooring will, absolutely, get torn up, and it's easier to replace (or repair) a sheet of plywood that has been laid down on top of the factory sheeting than it is to...

I use Howes. Power Service improves my fuel economy by exactly zero. FOr what it does, Power Service is great. It provided lubricity, disperses water, engine boost, etc., but Howes does all that with less ounces per tank, and has the added benefit of giving me better fuel mileage. Howes Diesel...
