@@brianwhidden thank you kind, sir. We’re truly enjoying sharing this wonderful company with the world. You find yourself into Oregon you gotta at least stop by and check out their facilities and introduce yourself. Looks like you’re having a blast out there. Your rig is looking good.
The shop and team over there seem great! Definitely going to have to get Wilson the Ekko there soon! By the way, have we told you two you’re our favorite people!?! 🎉😂
Hello, I hope you two are doing well. We cannot wait to see y’all back on the road for sure. Yes, definitely keep me updated when you’re headed over with Wilson, the shop has a lot of other things they’re doing that are pretty big. I can’t wait to continue to share the story and invite the rest of the world to get to know PAD.
Hello, thanks for checking out our channel. I agree it should be one of the first things they would think about with the type of exposure to the cast of aluminum oil pan as well as the other Vital components. I’ll tell you a quick story, a friend of mine Max who manufactures the skid plates has a client up in the Colorado area. They received a phone call that one of the sprinters needed to be towed in and possibly an engine replacement because the oil pan got shattered, driving down the highway. Apparently, they were not even off road. My experience has been most of these things typically happen just driving down the highway and something catches the underside. We sell these on our website as well.
Hi Ekkonester's and other Comment Readers. We have the 2025 Sprekko and one of our issues is the dashboard display. It shows the oil level upon the startup which is nice to see. However, it then stays on the oil level when I'd prefer it to be on the speedometer display mode. I am aware that I can use the touchpad to change the display but it seems like the display could be default preset to the speed after the engine oil status is reported. Has anyone figured out a solution so that we don't need to keep resetting the dash? Thanks for any input. Ken
Ha, I'll give you that-the box does resemble an ambulance. Dirty Dolly is always ready for an adventure, and if that means coming to the rescue, then we’re all for it! 🤣 Thank you for checking out the video ✌️
Sounds like an oil filter change with a fluid top off? 45min on Saturday in my own driveway for the cost of materials. Honestly, if you can’t do this yourself, you might want to reconsider going off-road in an RV.
Thanks for watching the video! We went with the full Service A: oil and fuel filter changes, oil change, DEF fill, and inspections of fluids like coolant and brake fluid. They also checked brake fluid moisture, suspension components, the drivetrain, and other wear-and-tear items. A 45-minute oil change, wow on this rig at home, you'd be quick, no doubt-especially without a lift or pit, even with a creeper. But in this case for me working on the ground (our small driveway and narrow street), moving drain pans, swapping fuel filters, and cleaning up can take a lot longer, at least for me with my driveway setup. Plus, oil disposal isn’t always convenient since local parts shops here have limits on what they accept. Taking the rig to a shop this time was just a little treat for myself, especially after being hands-on with many upgrades and the build-out. Sometimes it’s just easier and more efficient to let a trusted shop handle it (like PAD they guys I trust). But, I get your point-it’s a doable DIY (Do it yourself job) job if you’ve got the space, time, tools, and a bit of mechanical aptitude. By the way, whats your rig? You have some favorite over landing/off roading areas? Appreciate your perspective!

It would be interesting to know the cost compared to an MB dealer. MB dealers have a reputation for very expensive service.
Very informative. Why wouldn’t MB not put a skid plate Standard on the sprinter?

My MB dealer wanted to charge me $940 to change the oil in my Sprinter RV. I did it myself for $200 in oil and filter. Easy peasy.
When the Mac Tools guy parks across three customer parking stalls.....

First service at 20,000 miles??? That's insane!! If you ain't doing a lube/oil/filter+ every 5,000 miles your Ekko is going to be a problem child.
I’m with you. I choose 10k on the Mercedes and 5K on the Transit version. Thanks for checking out our video.
