    Used Sprinter buyer beware

    I sold my Sprinter earlier this year. It was getting a little long in the tooth and the transmission was completely dead. It seemed like a bad idea to invest a lot of money in it so I retired me and it. The guy who bought it was from Chicago and he was going to export it to Poland ( so he...

    Surprisingly cheap deer altercation

    I had a rather rude Wisconsin deer pass me on the left and then turn right without signalling. Then he had the gall to get up and run away. No venison!!! Anyway, he (she) knocked my left headlight loose and broke my grill. My insurance is $1000.00 deductable and I could picture a repair bill of...

    Engine control light

    I changed my air filter in my 2005 Sprinter today and now my engine control light is on and won't go out. Kinda like I've fallen and I can't get up. Anyway. Has anyone ever run into this before??? I hate to feed my dealer any more than he'se got already but I guess I'll be going there tomorrow.

    Sprinter Problems in Georgia

    Hey Sprinter folks. If you ever break down in the Atlanta area, all is not lost. I was having severe power loss problems while on a load to The Atlanta area. When I delivered the load I called my wife and had her look up Dodge dealers in the area. She hooked me up with Landmark Dodge in Morrow...

    Warm weather's a-coming

    Ok Sprinter folks. I cured the cold weather blues with a Webasto heater but what do you do in hot weather? I've got my home-made idle stick and I insulated my van but it's gonna get hot in there unless I idle for extended periods. It never bothered me to idle the old FL70 (except for the cost)...

    Sprinter Service

    I was about to get my Sprinter serviced (very close on my interval) when I was offered a load to Laredo. I took it. Problem is, when I got down there I found out the local dealer did'nt do Sprinters. I called Dodge to get the location of the closest dealer and was told the computers were...

    Aux. heater on Sprinters

    There is a factory installed aux. heater available on Sprinters. Has this option been out long enough for anyone to try it? If so, how well does it work? Would I be better off with the Espar heater? Any input on this unit would be very helpful. Thanks.

    FL70 dash rash or creeping crud

    I have seen a lot of FL70s with peeling paint on the dash. Mine is no exception. Any way it's getting kind of depressing looking at my peeling dash. Has anyone found a paint that will stick to that slippery undercoat they use?

    Drip, Drip, Drip

    Had my oil changed at a quiick oil change [not Speedco]. The guy screwed up my drain plug and repaired it with a standard Helicoil without asking me. Needless to say it started leaking within a few days. Now I'm having trouble getting it fixed. Freightliner had it for a day and decided I...

    I've got a Cat 3126, Just turned 300,000 and just started using oil. I've got it in at Cat to do an overhead right now and hope they find something simple. Any ideas?
