I carry and post a "Beware of Dog" sign (place it on the dark side front window.) A true life saver is a can of fix a flat, gets you out of the bad area far enough to safely change a tire. I also carry the 10% pepper spray it will not stop em but might give you the couple of seconds you need...

Still smokes getting worse over time. On a high note I fonud a dealer I think understands the sprinters and am going to have them look at it. Think I've been at the wrong dealers when i get back thru Columbia SC I'll have them do the 60,000 mile service and ckeck out the other issues

The comments on the Dodge dealer in Charlotte are common. I had the same problem there, and have spoken to many who have had the same or worse. DC and other area dealers know about the "issues" but no action has been taken. I can not understand the attorny general of NC not spending some time...

Terry, I sure would like to keep in touch with you and see what you do. I have an '05 Sprinter 6mo old 50,000 miles on it. In my old business (construction) I have owned 22 new Fords and 27 new Cheverlots over a period of 17 years. With all the numbers and all the spread sheets on my CPM about...

Dodge quoted me 800 and change, to install the idle option...... I bought an idle stick at the J for under 10.00. Idle at 2000 rpm (which is what the high idle will run at) you'll burn .5 GPH round numbers about the same as the factory idle of 700 RPM give or take. I have an 05 sprinter 6 mo old...

Have you thought about driving something under 26,100 for a local trucking/expedite company? Most of the ones I've run into do not require a CDL. Before I bought my van I had several offers to drive various vehicles, all under the 26,100 and not coupeled vehichles. I'm guessing the main reason...

The amount of insurance you require may depend on what your assets are. If you have little/few assets you may not see the need for much insurance. One way to cover yourself for a fairly small cost is the use of an umbrella policy. I have the company required 2 million and a 2 million umbrella at...

munites????? next time I'll spell check LOL :+

Danny A helpful hint on the rear Sprinter handle. When you reinstall it TURN IT AROUND so it faces the wall, you can still grab it. Change the other side as well. You'll find the freight can't get to it in this posistion. I owned my Sprinter for about five munites before I saw the factory...

Nations is a good company to run for. There are some things you need to know before you start. The only way to find out how many trucks are in a given area or what position you are on the board is to call in. The People Net system they use does not allow you to do that. After you deliver, you're...

A word of coution, have a plan way before COBRA runs out, I also have the pre-existing condition issue. I applied for the BC/BS of NC coverage I was not turned down................ BUT the cost was 2750.00 per month for my wife and myself. (that is with 80% co-pay and a 4000.00 family...

Thanks...... forgot to mention I do not have the idle up option, but do use an "idle stick" I keep rpms up to 1000. Dealer tells me the avaiable idle up option will idle it closer to 2000 rpms

Thanks Guys This is very helpful. The van is currently sitting at the dealer with 36,245 miles on it. I refused to pick it up until we come to some sort of resolution to my issue. The smoke is in fact black. As far as not idling the van, thats what the dealer suggested. I told him I'm an...

Hb Dave is right the numbers are not even close, my wife and I ran team in our sprinter for a short time. The largest week we had was 3150.00 the adverage week was 1875.00 to the van. Dispatch simply did not have the miles to offer a team. I run solo now, the largest week I've had is...

I need some help here. I have an 05 Sprinter 3 mo. old just turned 36,000 miles. It has run well, Dodge replaced one heat sensor at 20,000 other than that problem free. At 30,000 it started smoking after i've idled for a over a couple of hours, a lattle smoke at an idle, fills the expressway...
