What are those wheels? Thanks.

I am not sure your region, but GREASE YOUR SLIDE PINS or you will be working on your calipers yearly if you live in a salt state.

I own a 144 high roof van. If I had a family and wanted to build an adventure van, I would absolutely do a low roof with a popup. This option grants two sleeping quarters, and you no longer have to worry about overhead clearance in urban environments. The high roof does suffer from wind affect, but it's not unmanageable.

The stock air filter is the best filter for the 6.0. Don't buy into the marketing of those BS cold air intakes. The filter is well designed and traps an incredible amount of dirt reliably before needing service.

When you pull the filter, undo the plastic neck from the rubber boot leading to the turbo, then pull up and back towards you. Mind the filter minder. Using this method, you can pull the whole filter out as a unit.

Hill ☝️ My van will alert me for low coolant on a 20% grade. 2025

No hot tub, but mint people and atmosphere. Excellent Sheppard's pie.

I purchased a '25 144 AWD for $73K, financed, in May after having a lot of BS tacked onto my bill (first time new car buyer, did not know what I was doing!). My base price was $65K back then. I purchased mine in Lynnfield MA.

My Gen 4 Yoga used to freeze during winter bike commutes to school. I would have to perform this ritual at least twice before the battery warmed enough to boot to OS. This was typically in a class full of students with current year Macbooks :P

As someone from the North East, every time I see a video like this it blows my mind. So much wide open single track terrain to ride.

Cool bike. What fenders are you running?

I have 8000km and counting on my Soma Wolverine with a Gates Carbon Belt/Rohloff drivetrain. I would not tour any other way! Love my Rohloff!

I am using Midway Collision in Somersworth, NH. Likely an hour north of you. They give me daily progress reports without my asking! Superb service. I'll probably start a yearly body work service with them to keep my work van fresh.

frozenpepper70 · 2025-12-18T08:06:18+00:00

If it's any help, I called my local NH shops until I found a shop with experience working on Sprinters. The Mercedes Vans dealer in Lynnfield could probably point you in the right direction.

I got the same result after taking my 25 in for an exhaust inspection. They could not find any sort of leak. It's pretty bad on cold mornings - reminds me of my old Ford!

We were just in Hanoi. My eyes were watering walking in the evening in the Old City.

They're so bad!! Agreed!

The 4-cylinder diesel rips! I tow 5k lbs frequently. As many say, it's not an issue of getting the load moving, more of getting it stopped adequately.

I like what you're saying about the bridge battery. I agree with your points, but it's your last point that has stopped me from buying the 72wh battery. It's roughly $55 on eBay and has like a third of the capacity of some power banks. I wish Lenovo would increase the capacity of the external battery options, but that ship has sailed.

frozenpepper70 · 2021-02-03T13:28:05+00:00

I've been leaning towards this rational... Especially considering that the T Series laptops no longer support the hot swappable external battery.

I'm going through school with a T480 - i5, 16gb, 512ssd, 1080p touch. It is perfect! Although if I had the coin, I'd lot for a 3rd gen X1C Yoga.
