And, fixed my persistent abs warning lights

Now trying to bid around another snowstorm

Left Chatt Friday night, weekend in Knoxville. Monday, Oak Ridge to Hahnville, LA. Tuesday, Hahnville to Russellville, AR. Took yesterday off to celebrate the big 6-0 and get an oil change. Now trying to get going again; need to stay in warmer weather because our little buddy went to heater heaven and I don’t want to stay with propane. Of course we can idle but I sleep soundly and might not notice something going wrong until it would be too late.

Damn, I wish I had gotten the memo about getting an oil change when I turned 60, I got a Colonoscopy instead. Similar though

How do you remove used motor oil from a Sprinter wood floor?

 

[NorthernBill]

Been bouncing around close to Toledo, OH area. The rear differential of the old $printer is getting soft and clunky. Don’t want to have it grenade, and cause that kind of drama. Used but good one going in tomorrow. Dang thing isn’t rebuidable!

How many miles on it?
I got 678K on mine.
Coincidentally changing the fluid today ...

 

[brokcanadian]

Punched some holes in empty brake cleaner cans, was enough to remove the wet stuff. On the good side, skids will slide easy now

 

[Grizzly]

What I need to replace is the front transverse spring. Been procrastinating on that one a bit ...

I had my Ford Dana rearend rebuilt a few years ago for 600 bucks at the Ring and Pinion shop in Michigan. That is all they do. And they are excellent. Been there since the 50's. 586-792-2560. Call them first.

I bought A the Andis brand "Master" model clippers. About 100 bucks. The same as the barbers use. I cut my hair every Friday. Save 15 bucks everytime. Do the math. Now, that's return on an investment. Being Italian, my hair grows fast. And I'm trying to keep up with Dollarsign...lol

C

Loaded ..headed to Texas ...

Whatever...

Chardon, Oh to Statesville, Charlotte to Laredo, Pharr to Chicago. Back at home getting new Bridgestones put on, than back out on Monday, maybe?.

Well, that was quick. Sold my 4 old tires for 150.00 to the 1st caller. I always sell my old ones real quick to the local construction guys.

Thanks for the info! Called the shop, they say the average cost is a couple of grand and two days turnaround. Hmmmmm

Now that mileage is coincidentally close to mine. Anything happens to my rear end over the next week, I'm blaming you! lol

With that mileage, go with the cheapest option ...

Ouch! I guess it's a Sprinter thing. But they are extremely honest and dont half azz anything. One visit there and you will be impressed. The owner himself takes it on a 30 min. yesterday drive alone, so he can listen to it distraction free. They even painted my rear end when complete. A real thorough job.

The guy on the phone sounded knowledgeable and upfront. If I wasn’t committed to the used but good replacement, I’d give them a chance at it.

Ok. Receipts organized. Cab cleaned. Fridge installed. System in place for taxes

Something tells me it's not busy...

Shouldn’t be too much of a problem. Requires a 2 man job. Got mine done in the 2012 about 2 1/2 yrs ago. A gentleman by the name of Wayne did mine. Nice guy that Wayne guy is.
