After a lot of defrosting and ether got the van going. Also replaced window wiper arm broke by ice storm and driver stupidity (don't ask haha), new heater blower motor installed after mine died at the worst time. Was such a memorable trip :rolleyes: At home defrosting myself and clearing the most snow I've seen all winter.

Yeah, mine had been making noises on and off for the last year, but kept putting it off since it still was working until I had no choice :rolleyes: Mine cost a lot more then I was expecting :eek:

We finally got the hydroponics hooked up and I've got beans about an inch tall already. Boy does this system have a powerful light! I'll let you know when I pick the first beans...and I've started some cabbage in my aerogarden! :)

Yup another thing I kept thinking about doing but never got did haha. Mine cost $168. Over all, with everything that was done I was pleased with the final bill. I was just surprised that little motor cost so much. I was thinking around $60. But being for a Sprinter nothing surprises me :rolleyes:

They list for $185 so you got a deal......did you see how easy they are to change out?....Dreamer did....ask him....LOL......take off cover undo 3 screws/bolts, unplug and remove...position new one tighten said screws/bolts, plug in and snap on cover....viola....10 minutes tops...you literal paid someone to change your windshield wipers....
BTW the speed control for wiper motor is the same easy install...

oh yeah I've paid someone to do this as well....the tech teased me and let me watch.....I said "thats it?" to which he replied...yep and you paid me $70 bucks to do it....LOL.....

Yup looked pretty easy and fast, if I had a nice heated garage I may have attempted it. But at -20 windchill at the time and Wayne's rates it was worth it to me :)
