    It's a different series van. Mine is a 2008 NCV3. Sprinter-Source ... lots of reading for ya .. Das Sprinter is not an ordinary diesel. It's very particular. Taking one to jiffy lube is akin to heresy ;)

    Not sure what you mean about dealers "reporting"...? Reporting what to who? I mentioned the insurance company regarding the tow. They might have mileage restrictions as to where you can tow it. Check with them. How much oil is in the van now? My van will tell me exactly how much oil is short...

    You need to find out what the issue is. Mercedes, Freightliner, whoever should be able to run diagnostics on it to figure that out. An hour of diagnostic time should be around $125 or so. You may be at the mercy of your insurance company here; depending on where you can have it towed. If it...

    Oil is a big deal with Sprinters. Many of us, myself included, change our own oil. For a few different reasons. A few thoughts ... 1. I would never get my oil changed at jiffy lube. I doubt they used the right oil. They probably used some type of diesel oil but not the low ash spec stuff...

    Imo it doesn't matter if it's been tuned or not. Dealers have the diagnostic software. They can still be a valuable resource. Depends on the issue. They're not going to turn you away because it's been tuned. They see tuned sprinters all the time. Also if you come on here screaming for help...

    All parties agree there will never be a physical barrier that 100% blocks our southern border. Whatever small percentage remains open will be vulnerable & exploited.

    The Trump Card...

    Why is illegal immigration relatively new? This country had pretty much open borders until the 20th century. It used to be that if you found a way here from whatever miserable corner of the world you came from, you were in. You made it here, you survived .. ok make 'em a citizen. Why doesn't...

    Do you know how many attempted during this blitz? If they wanna get across, they will. How long has this been going on? Centuries? Millennium? People migrate ... is that new? Only thing that's ever going to stop them, is the desire to stay in their own countries.
