6000 just a babyyyyy !

Did have the 7.3 year model 1993 with no turbo. Its was a big Supreme Box Van and I used to haul really heavy cross country. I used Rotella 15w 40 every 5K and had close to 400K on the Van. Everything else went on that van 3 trans, 1 rear end, 1 radiator etc, etc , but I'll tell you that engine...

I have a new 2012. I get 20-22 highway and 17city. Wanted to wait for the new vans but FAll was to far away. Also was rear ended in a 35mph zone at a light and my bumper was destroyed but the other car folded up big time. I did think they were tin cans from the thin steel but that accident did...

Yes, I''ll have the dealership do all the service till the warranty runs out. After that I have a good Mechanic that I used for years and he services a lot of Sprinters. It will go to him since he's close and reliable. Will stick to 229.51 oil(Mobil-1 ESP-M). I always kept to same oil in my...

Thanks! Ill wait then. Where do you find the Oil for $7? The cheapest I found the Mobil-1 esp was $12. Mercedes in Cleveland said it was $160 for Oil Change + filter.

Hi! Just curious about when you new Sprinter owners did your 1st oil change? My 2012 Sprinter came with Mobil 1 esp 5w-40 Oil. They say 10k , but it makes me kind of nervous as the Van is being broken in. I have 600 miles on it right now. I was thinking 3000 miles then going with 10k...

I decided to use the brackets with 2 x 4. Didn't know about that option. E-track on wall is a requirement for my Company, so i will install it. I will use the x-pattern LDB mentioned for heavy loads. I also have d-rings so that should be more than enough. Lodi Metals: Just saw the site...

Looking for options for load bar for Sprinter. I have not seen E-track load bar thats locks into E-track rails that fits Sprinter at about 80-85 inches width. They all seem too long for Trucks. 1) Can I find these bars that will lock into E-track for Van? Ive found the ones with the rubber...

Thanks for the advice. Can wait till Sept/Oct even though that was my original plan. Don't see price going much under 40K with diesel for Transit. Well all see soon enough.

Going to buy a 2012 Sprinter and would like some advice from you experienced Expediters. Will be used for Expediting. I have a choice of two 170E's and different options so I am trying to figure out if its worth the extra $2500 for the higher $ model which has: 1) Cargo Pack- Has L track...

Yes,I understand that. Price seemed reasonable thats why I listed it.

Just looking at prices yesterday for rebuild and Jasper had the 2006 engine for 6500$ + labor etc. Just an option if you decide to do something in Knoxville. You can find installers on their site. JASPER Engines & Transmissions: Remanufactured engine: diesel, marine, import Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the good info! Helps me make a better decision. Looks like 2006 model is favorite right now. Learning alot of these forums.

I have a question for all you Sprinter owners. If you were buying a used Sprinter would you go with option A or B? (Considering your carrier age limit is no problem) A) 2004-2006 under 100k miles, good body no problems. B) 2008 high miles 300k miles, good body no problems yet. I am...

I would agree. I have been looking for a used Sprinter/E350 diesel and its seems the vans that are better on the outside are also better service by their owners. I would think if someone would go to the trouble to keep rust away and keep the body clean they would also maintain the engine...

I guess this guy wasn't happy with his truck and wanted everyone to know. LOL Looks like body's ok and the rest is junk. Car # A43

Not too much information on new Ford Transit or Dodge Ducato cargo vans. I went to Dodge and Ford dealers and they basically knew nothing. Only the Dodge dealer told me they were trying to better the Sprinter price on the Ducato to around 30K. Ford Transit it say 1st/2nd qtr 2013 hopefully...

Thanks for this info! I thought gas MPG's would be close to Cargo Max to be honest.I liked the wide box and room, but not at 10-12 mpgs. 14-15Mpgs would be OK I think with 3 pallet ability and not so expensive service options Cargo Max looks like the favorite so far. Looks(Aerocell)...

I ran a e350 box drw and ran log for over 10 years and was always nervous going through scales and I was legal. So I would be too nervous passing each scale/dot with DRW so not worth it. Especially with weight and added cost of DRW. I was more scared they would be on there need to make money...
