No apology necessary for such interesting data. Brakes lasting only circa 6,000 miles though?! That's severe operation indeed considering it's possible to get 150,000m out of a set of pads and disks.

C'mon Cip,
It's good to hear from you again, but it's just not fair that your return includes braggin'.

How many stop signs do you see in a typical day anyway? I'm bettin' one or two. :laughing:

Welcome back. vic

Vic,
Thanks.

No bragging, just thinking out loud.:rad: You are right, I mostly drive interstates, sometimes with hundreds of miles between brake uses, where Jim uses his brakes hundreds of times every hour. Glad to see his sprinter is still serving him well.

I haven't disappeared completely, but don't have as much time as I had before. See what marriage does to you? LOL

Wonderful post

Two whole truck paint jobs in less than 100,000 miles?!!! That has to cost a pretty penny.
