Good morning.
So now I know what this cleaning rod went to.
We had quarter-size snow flakes for a period of time yesterday. That stuff accumulated fast!

I guess they are okay, at best. Great around town when no snow of any kind, but no power for the interstate like we are forced to run (under pressure) most days. Super nice for parking. Boss got it with 139,XXX miles now has 235,8XX. He put a motor in at 210 and a tranny at 218 or so. Tranny was giving trouble when he got it. Only gets around 20MPG so not that great. Like most cars it seems like lots of little stupid things with it that auto manufactures should have learned by now. Or, maybe I am just impossible to please. LOL

When I got my 06 E350 in 2006 (used) I looked hard at the Sprinter for the fuel mileage, but they were newer and support state-side was mediocre at best with a high price to get in to them. Since then I've heard repairs on them can be expensive. Looked at the Ford big transit when it came in 2015 as I was still using my van for the company, but seemed like they were having problems plus expensive. This is now a company owned vehicle so he is stuck with repairs.

How are you liking the Sprinter? Is it the all wheel drive version?

I really like the Sprinter.
It is an '08 so it does have the EGR and a DPF (but no DEF).
It is 2 wheel drive with duals on the rear.
170" wheel base with the high top.
I like that I can stand up all the way inside and not hit my head.
I installed a full size workbench in it, and then have two full sets of nice metal shelving in it (enough to fill two normal sized work vans).
I also added a power inverter.
I carry almost all of my small tools, as well as a decent assortment of repair parts.
If I remember correctly I am weighing around 8600 lbs.
It consistently gets 19.5 mpg, and actually has a decent amount of power.

The above dig on the M1 owner is from my experience with it at school. ROTC Univ of Mo at Rolla.

What a heavy bastid. [emoji21]

Basic at Fort Leonard wood. M1A1/M14. An improvement but still heavy and kick like a mule.

After marksmanship training I was flinch city. [emoji2960]

RVN lived with a M16 24/7.

Gods terrible swift sword. [emoji108]

My condolences!
(On the M1 ownership and not the lack of a cleaning kit.)

Just part of my collection. I’ve always been interested in WWII and when the opportunity presented itself I jumped on this one. June 1943 per the S/N so I supposed it could have seen some action. I wanted one from that era and not later or from the CMP. That being said I wouldn’t want to carry it all over creation as it’s a heavy piece.

 

[Junkyard]

Welcome. Glad you made it to this thread. We need more Okies.

Thanks! I’d been meaning to get here earlier, this last week was a hectic one.

Morning everybody.
We'll be heading back home in a while.

 

[rsting]

Morning all. Suns out so the little bit of ice we got should be gone soon. Glad to see it go.

It depends. If it goes past 1-1.5 rounds, Cowboy takes it because Conor will gas. With that said, Cowboy takes some shots to the dome and Conor puts people to sleep. So if Conor can tag him early, Cowboy may go down. Cowboy has taken a lot of punishment and is not as durable as he used to be.

My pick----Cowboy. Mostly because I want him to win; and, I hope he does the smart thing early---takes Conor down and chokes him unconscious. No way Conor can hang with Cowboy on the mat.

I think a take down, is the smartest thing for Cowboy as well. He fights so dang much, that ya never really know which Cowboy is going to show up.

That's also a good point, about the amount of punishment Cowboy has taken. He getting up there, and it's gotta catch up to him eventually.

This may be his last fight.
One, big, last paycheck.
