well what should i have bought?

Thanks Turtle, I have found that in my area (Memphis) most fuel is cheap price but not very good. The chevron fuel seemed to be the best. When I travel to virginia my van seems to like that fuel the best and ohio too. i have used an additive since my van was new, usually howes or motorkote...

I too like the looks and handling of my promaster. I have had major issues with the transmission and not much luck from chrysler/fiat to care or repair in a timely manner. The transmission issue on the diesels is a major safety issue but since nobody has been killed yet it is a hard case to...

Got my van back a few days ago, the new parts helped a lot. I ordered new tires and will get them on in next few days. The shop that put in my cv axles said that the ram parts book showed same axle for gas and diesel but when the parts came they did not fit. He contacted the ram rep and from my...

My van had a wobble, not always, just sometimes. And it no longer handled like it was on rails. It was feathering the tires. It also had leaked from one of the axles and left a greasy spot on the underside body. 1st question asked was has anyone worked on the transmission. I have never worked on...

My promaster is back in the shop. This time its ball joints and cv axle problems. Aftermarket parts wont fit, need genuine mopar. Shop ordered parts this Tuesday, special order. I asked why they cant be overnighted instead of next Wednesday. I was told it cost too much. I am paying for it, let...

I have never had a problem, but yes it could be possible. Most of my running a tank low is on my way home

I would check the price of fuel filters on the Promaster before going with that idea. They cost about $59, i replaced the 1st one at 80k miles and it looked clean. I was gooing to replace the 2nd one at 160k miles. but last week i had a couple tankfuls in the low 20mpgs and already had the...

This promaster is my 9th diesel van, the others have had either electric or mechanical fuel pump that were not in the tank. Im not sure but this one probably is in the tank. I have always run the fuel tanks down to nearly nothing, mostly to get any contamination be it dirt or water sucked up...

I drive 62 to 64 most of the time on the interstate. Sometimes I will runs speed limit even if it is 75 or 80. About half of this tank full was on a state hwy rated at 65 mph or less

24 gallons so they say, I always try and squeese as much as I can. I once got 24.06 gallons in. I have done 23 and some several times

yesterday I got 700.9 miles out of a single tank of fuel. This is a personal record for my van. I used 23.619 gallon for 29.7 mpg. The van is a 2014 Promaster 159" 2500 with a 3.0 liter diesel. I fill up in Gulfport MS went to Memphis TN and then to Athens TN. I was using Chevron fuel. I think I...

i have a nice 2007 170 sprinter that needs a new motor. the quote for a new engine is $11,060.00 a core charge of $2,400 and labor to install $2,537.50 I would love to be able to afford it as a 07 is a good size and no def. It was getting about 21 mpg and ran for 840k miles. I also have a 14...

here is a tool to get in a promaster if you are locked out

i am more worried about a breakdown on a lonely highway and having some thugs show up while im changing a flat or something; than someone braking in at a truckstop. I travel with a large dog, shes old but would definately bite a stranger. As an out and back driver i have more ability to carry a...

well what happen after paragould, what route did you end up taking from there? was west plains mo still under water?

They may have improved, last one i had with a roll up door was from the 70's and some cheap rentals. the brochure says height of 69" thats slightly taller than mine now because of the hinges hang down. i would not be afraid of losing height if the door was 69" because ive never hauled anything...

Here is a roll up rear door for Promaster. I like it. They also make it for Transit. I did not see one for Sprinters on their site. http://www.buckeyebody.com/uploads/3/8/8/1/38810475/bbe_-_ram_promaster_pro-door_shutter_door-lit-final.pdf

what would happen if you have a beard like i do? was this stated on the front end? i would not shave mine off for a delivery. i once had a delivery to a campus DC that searched the van before letting us on the property; they said my dog could not enter. i took my wife and dog down the road to a...

in-transit, the diesel promaster have a robotizied manual transmission. there is no park position on the shifter; just recently learned that i had been doing it wrong and to have the trans stay in gear when the van is not running it must be shut down in gear. i had always shut mine down in...
