    Sprinter Cargo Securement

    Moot, Quick question - on your forward load stop that you have the E-Track attached to the back of - is the 2 x 6 secured to the E-Track socket at all - or do you just slip it into place when you are using it ? Seems like you could have only one side permanently attached (to a socket) due to...

    Sprinter Cargo Securement

    Been awhile since I posted so time for an update. I've more or less finished with the insulation (at least for the time being), although there are some areas that remain uninsulated: 1. All along the bottoms of the sidewalls. The sidewalls extend down past the floor and there is a large void...

    Sprinter noise/vibration

    Yeah, the "change-it-once-at-80K-and-forget-it" thing in the manual had me puzzled from the git-go. If the fluid has the potential to start going south after 80K, then if you change it at 80K why wouldn't you do so again at 160K ? D-C really ought to clarify this ..... It might not be a bad...

    Raising the garage

    Lower the floor for way way less cost? It's a possibility - but depends ...... if the garage floor is already concreted getting it up and repouring a new floor could be pretty pricey. The other problem is if lowering the floor puts it below grade ........ you'd want to be sure you had a plenty...

    Need some advise and info

    As far as I know, Fedex is not signing on any new cargo vans. I think that may be true for others as well, although you would have to check each company individually.

    Water Pump bump noise

    I would love to have running water. http://www.rvwholesalers.com/catalog/home.php?cat=103 Can one get hot water? or is that a major expense. http://www.rvwholesalers.com/catalog/home.php?cat=325

    hey

    The real point is: Do you really want others to understand your communication ? Do you care whether you are understood - and that the other party actually "gets" what it is you're trying to say ? Those that do, make an effort - which spelling and grammar are a part of. Doesn't mean they're...

    no cheap freight

    Interesting thread ....... I just went to a drivers meeting at the carrier I'm planning to lease on with this next week. One of the topics of discussion was the company's intention to raise their per-mile tariff rates ..... since what they pay o/o's is a percentage of the tariff rate, that...

    2006 SPRINTER

    Turtle - good tip on the filters - with three Sprinters between myself and my son we'd have no problem using up a case in fairly short order. Any data on what brand they are ? OVM - the data your technician provided might be valid. The van owners I referred to are with Fedex Home Delivery and...

    Water Pump bump noise

    The pump is probably an "on-demand" pump - in other words it's designed to come on at a certain pressure (low) and then will probably shut off at a certain pressure (high) You have a small leak somewhere - which allows the pressure to drop, causing the pump to come on. Because the leak is...

    E-Track install

    Ken, I hear ya ...... one (me) can have all sorts of ideas as to how things might work in theory ..... how it actually works out in practice is another matter. Wherever possible I plan on trying to get the forklift op to load it how I want it loaded - with care - afterall it is my investment...

    Cell Phone Service Providers

    We have 5 phones on a 2100 minute family plan with Cingular for about 3 years now. We have some dropped calls (..... don't they all ?) but overall I have been happy. Previously had Verizon.

    E-Track install

    I don't have any specific suggestions for places to do it, but I'll say this - make sure that whoever does it knows what they are doing and secure it adequately - since if you plan to use it to secure freight your life may depend on it. Personally I installed my own. 10' sections of E-Track...

    2006 SPRINTER

    The low beams for our 2006 are a standard H7 halogen - my wifes 2000 VW Passat happens to take the same bulb - they should be readily available at any major auto parts store (AutoZone, Advance Auto, NAPA, etc.) Personally I plan on carrying a spare for all critical bulbs (Stop, Tail, Turn, Low...

    2006 SPRINTER

    I'm not Hondaking (nor did I stay at a .... oh nevermind) .... .....but ....... I replaced one on my son's 2006 a couple of weeks ago .... the other side had been replaced previously. I haven't replaced any on our 2006, but there's a guy in the terminal that has a 2004 or 2005 Sprinter and...

    heat in cargo van

    jon, Thanks - yeah it seems like there are a couple of different threads there .... good info for coming up with a low-budget solution maybe ....... if I can wire the Heater Booster to work manually off a regular switch (DC makes one for this apparently) and then get the REST function to work...
