I’m so glad you addressed that confusing parking brake! So many times I would start backing out with the brake on thinking it was off! Yikes!

By far the most informative platform out there. You guys are crushing it.

Thanks for the many great videos.
I just bought a sprinter for the first time last month, a 2008 144” RWD 2500.
I am lying in bed recovering from a surgery, watching your videos, hoping these tips and parts you sell apply to my van :-).

Terrific video by a terrific advocate of quality. Thanks for your wonderful products and that fact that you obviously want to impart important and useful information to Sprinter owners.

I am a Red Cross Volunteer and we use the sprinter van for our Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV) its those vans with the serving windows on the side. This is great information to have and I will pass it on. Thank You

Good information. If I ever get a Sprinter van I’ll understand it better but right now I have a 2020 Ford high roof with egoboost and AWD and I like it.

Awesome video . Leaned some new facts . Very helpful. As an FYI on the center speaker. Yes that is a quick fix, but Mercedes has finally released an official recall fix where the dealer will rewire the system to make it sound much better with the center speaker. Obviously the after market system is the best solution but the recall makes the OEM acceptable.

Vehicle manufacturers getting rid of oil dip sticks was a crazy move.

[jonjoubert]

Thank you John! The battery disconnect is a fabulous shortcut. Thanks for sharing the info.

MB has issued a bulletin on the Speaker. (its topic L182.85-N-071147 7/19/22) They did the correction free of charge based on it and then I avoided having to take any risk of mis wiring or doing a poor job. One day at the local service center (which i'm fortunate to have close by) It was a massive improvement to the stock speakers and now all of them sound balanced.

Do you just leave the dipstick there? Very helpful thank you!!

[JavierDiaz-gtdc]

Wow, so helpful !! Love the dip stick and battery disconnect tips. Thank you !!

[joeyfmd]

Super helpful. I didn’t know about the battery disconnect. I have a dip stick and didn’t know where and how to remove the cap. Just ordered your horn kit and will order the skid plate kit for the differential.
