    Fuel Issues in South America

    My girlfriend and I are planning a road trip from Canada down to Chile. We were planning to buy a converted Sprinter for the journey. I have been reading how the modern (post-2007) Sprinters require ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel - which will be difficult or impossible to obtain in a few...

    Zany numbers for two exhaust sensors

    I have an iCarSoft MBII. When I look at the readings for the Pre Catalytic Converter Temperature Sensor under Engine Sensors, I see a reading of 542.84 oF when the engine is cold and not running.

    Stuck in Limp Home Mode (LHM) - multiple DTCs

    This started a week ago on my way up to Oregon to see the total eclipse. The too long/didn't read version is this: my tailpipe emitted some black smoke, and I lost almost all my power (no turbo) while trying to get over the Sierras (I-80/Donner Summit). I made it back home in limp home mode. Now...

    CA Smog EGR NOT READY

    So I'm caught in the CA smog debacle with my 06 3500 where EGR monitor refuses to reset. I've been through Dodge Corp (Referred me to their test house) and Mercedes Corp (less than helpful on all fronts). I ran across this today which somewhat confirms my suspicions that due to starting...

    EGR Valve Operational After Disassembly

    I've seen the admonishment in multiple threads never to separate the EGR Valve's servo motor assembly from the valve body, and that failure to heed this warning would be immediately fatal to the continued operability of the EGR assembly. I can confirm that it is indeed possible and quite simple...
