Re: Anybody at Panther planning on buying 2014 Sprinter and looking for parttime driv A lot of transmission failures are caused by low fluid, characterized by a terrible sound like driving over chatter bumps. Smart drivers stop immediately. Unfortunate drivers keep driving, which kills the...

Re: Anybody at Panther planning on buying 2014 Sprinter and looking for parttime driv Resonators, belt tensioners, EGR valves, pressure hoses, and mysterious wiring failures are fairly regular occurrences after 250,000 miles. Although I've been lucky, many transmissions, engines, and rear...

I know you love the good old Splinter. I have a 2006 too. My Splinter gets 22 MPG @ 65 MPH. No joke. That's what they get on average, less when loaded heavier.

Re: Anybody at Panther planning on buying 2014 Sprinter and looking for parttime driv I have to admit that those Mercedes folks are geniuses... knowing the pressure side of the intake was responsible for zillions of failures, causing limp mode activation, Mercedes goes and "doubles down" by...

Re: Anybody at Panther planning on buying 2014 Sprinter and looking for parttime driv The new 2014 Splinters will all be delivered in limp mode with no way to correct it without Mercedes service, just so new owners will get used to it right away!

I call BULL****! its impossible to get 33 MPG in a delivery van that has 6' high interior height and is driven @ 65 MPH or so. The new Transit will get 26 MPG on diesel and 21 on gas. The new Splinter will do no better if its the same size & capacity. I suspect you are a Splinter dealer...

Re: Anybody at Panther planning on buying 2014 Sprinter and looking for parttime driv I'd be more concerned with the "URCPM" than the MPG. URCPM = Unexpected Repair Costs Per Mile.

Re: Anybody at Panther planning on buying 2014 Sprinter and looking for parttime driv A new Splinter over a new Transit??? Good luck!!!!

I installed an RV shore station hook up at the driver side rear corner that works great either with a generator or at a campground.

I highly doubt there will be any jail time at all. They will settle out of court for millions of dollars although the settlement will not be public. The reason being is if the IRS proves they screwed people out of millions of dollars, that would it be a perfect class action suit for all of the...

I hope someone like Marilyn Monroe sings you "Happy Birthday Mr. President!!!"

On a Sprinter I would definitely have the same concern!

If you have a rear hitch I can set you up with a swing away carrier and a 3200 watt generator for a thousand dollars. just PM me

I pay the big coin for my Verizon gold plated truck phone. My co-driver uses a Samsung Note 2 on a Net10 monthly plan. Her phone usually works as well as mine but the data is VERY SLOW if at all while mine always has fast data. I pay $100 a month while she pays $46 a month. You get what you...

Yup! The IRS went in there knowing what to look for to prove their case, levy fines & penalties, and embarrass Pilot/Flying J. Count on a public reveal soon!

Sorry, those openings were filled last year... :D

My 2006 has 450,000 miles but I have not had to replace any major part yet, although the accessories are starting to need replacing. I am going to sell her in a few months but I wouldn't go replacing the engine & transmission until there is trouble. I think its all about learning the Sprinter...

Drive in reverse might fix both the traction & butt ugly front problem??

Ran a lot of miles for $200 less than I used to.

Yeah, your cabin filter could be LOADED with junk. Mine was.
