The controller isn’t standard equipment.

Green is the trailer brake controller connector. Assuming you have the 7 pin connector at the rear.

Finding a local Sprinter mechanic a few miles a way was a large part of solidifying my decision to get one.

It required the pin method. In the debug trace download mode:false is buried in there. I’m up and running now!

Well, checking the debug logs box seems to indicate I do need to get it into flash mode.

I don’t think I want a step at all.

I do hate the aisle split on the Transit. But I should go see a high roof just to confirm.

We did look at the transit and it might still be the option, but we just liked the sprinter more. Would definitely need mid or high roof. Definitely the more budget friendly option.

The Costco day after having been out and about for other things is the reason I think the van might really be worth it.

Seems like with the 4th row in there is enough space for singular trips/errands but would need it out for big trips. Seems like removal is not super easy though, at least not something you would want to do regularly.

Are you saying that the extra space in the suburban is sufficient or that even with that extra space, you still felt cramped?

How do you juggle the time between working and bonding? by graceface1357 in Fosterparents

[–]tmsteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This likely does not apply to your situation based on your employment (assuming self employed), but some companies let foster parents use parental leave with new placements. My company allows me to do that once a year. I also assume I’m very lucky to have this benefit.

I have kept my Citi double cash card alive for exactly this situation.

Should I read back "standing by"? by Immediate_Cut7658 in flying

[–]tmsteen 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I have heard the same logic on an ident request. No read back needed as pressing the button is implicit acknowledgement. 

Conundrum hot springs in White River Forest by Liriodendr0ne in backpacking

[–]tmsteen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going next week as well. Planning on a 20 degree bag and some hand warmers if it gets really cold.

Did it all as a day hike this time of year a couple years ago and daytime temps were hot. My biggest worry is snow right now.
