    new sprinter van coming out

    DEF's purpose is to reduce NOx on a diesel. On a gasser reducing NOx is easily done with the EGR so... Now DPF, the truth is that all gasoline engines with direct injection are terrible about the particulates they put out. Just look at the exhaust pipe of any of them and you will see the black...

    Ho Ho Whooo its December!

    Cool. I know the 4 is not available any more, but thought you might have found a brand new leftover with the 4 cyl. What happened with your old one?

    The way forward

    I've been doing the expediting thing since 2005 and there was no time in my expediting career that I wasn't able to support my family. I drove a Sprinter from 2005 to 2016 and since then a straight truck solo. I changed some companies since I started, and I made money with all companies, from...

    Nervous newbie

    Speaking of the MBE900, I like mine. I bought my truck in March 2016 with 555k miles on it. I just passed 650k and all I've done to the engine was the injector lines and transfer tubes. A couple of them were leaking a bit, so I bought a set on eBay for $150 and changed them myself and the fan...

    My Promaster 3500 repair.

    A friend of mine with a 2014 had camshaft replaced at around 130k paid from his pocket, then at a bit over 300k a camshaft (don't remember if it was the same one or not) messed up and destroyed the head, etc. He ended up replacing the whole engine. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    Nervous newbie

    Ugh. I remember those phone calls in my FedEx days. Insane. Then I switched to Landstar and they never bothered me. Load 1 is almost like Landstar in this respect. Only twice I got calls like this in my year and a half and one was because of the Omnitracs not updating the position. I was...

    My Promaster 3500 repair.

    Good to know that there is a good Dodge dealer in my neck of the woods. How many miles on the Promaster?

    Newvember

    I did a few of those loads in my Sprinter. The best one was for an oil pump and some jet oil that I delivered on the tarmac next to a Delta Boeing 757 whith its naked Rolls Royce engine ready for me. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    can anybody tell me what's wrong with this deal

    Unless something changed, they won't do placarded loads. When I was there we didn't do them. Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk

    Need help deciding on repair

    I could legally put around 3200 lbs in my sprinter (low roof, medium length) but I can count on one hand how many times I put 2600 or 2700 lbs in there. If it was more than 2500 I did not want it. Maybe that is the reason that my sprinter still has the original engine, transmission and rear end...

    Cargo Van Insurance cost.

    Wow, bought the van before you found out what it costs to run it. Anyway, about the insurance. Your state of residence has more to do with the rate than your driving record. Do you live in NJ? Sent from my LG-H918 using Tapatalk
