Anyway, another day, another deduction. It is starter, which they have to order for tomorrow. Good news is Ford has it, bad news is it's double Rock Auto price. But, they are replacing coupling (again) under warranty, even though another dealer already did. So, labor, parts add up to $550. No charge for Vaseline to Install price.

And that’s the rub.... as with sprinters it nickles and dimes you to death “at times”.... that and if you take load opportunity losses ... it’s a slow drain

Ouch, I can buy almost 5 Mercedes starters for that amount.
You just need to know how to connect few wires and secure 4 bolts.

Empty and sitting at the j in Horizon Cityalong with literally 30 other vans. Sprinters and small yellow box trucks of which 95% are unlettered.
Soon it will be a challenge to find one with letters on it.

I haven't asked, but I think its deaf.
Once in a while it sends me signals on the dashboard, and that's the extent of our conversations.
Also, it whistles at me pretty.

It's the area. Next door is Peachtree City, super rich, golf carts everywhere, especially kids. No walking, no bicycles, just carts, even valet parking at Walmart, (kidding), but Newman is a less fortunate neighbor, they buy the carts used. Poor kids!

Aren’t you glad that Minneapolis load cancelled. 8 - 12 inches and blizzard conditions?
