Ever since my Ford E-350 Alumibunk I've gotten used to a 24" sleeper - the small size allowed me to sleep as cold as -44 F without supplemental heat or idling...and as hot as 103 F with a fantastic fan cut into the door blowing at my toes. Has anyone attempted putting a board over the seats and...

Thanks! I'll consider this thread answered

Does anyone know if this would disable the airbags? I like space but i like my life more

Maybe I can mortgage my sprinter? :)

Update: not rusty underneath, runs and drives, book value 12 000 here, goin for it! Thanks for all the suggestions!

:confused2: If you saw what I'm driving now you'd agree it's an improvement

Whoa thank you...that was not even on my radar...going to look tomorrow, i'll definitely crawl around under there!

Thanks...amounts to a deal for a long and tall where I live...even 2001 and up former Fedex/DHL are in the 10000 dollar range...guess i"ll take my chances

That where I got the idea from, I was hoping for confirmation that's all it COULD be...

About to buy 2005 long and tall sprinter, under 200000 miles, price 4000 (thats 2900 to all you Americans) Transmission has only reverse and 2nd gear...am i correct in guessing TCM wiring / control unit in trans? Has anyone had this exact problem? I'm comfortable playing with transmissions...

That's great mileage! I put a million miles on a 7.3 diesel ford at 21 mpg, didn't care if loaded either, just speed...unfortunately can't find an Aerocell CW around here so i'm looking at a rusty sprinter with trans stuck in limp mode...turned down yet another good paying load yesterday 15...

Thanks guys, I'm a little more reassured, sounds like pretty standard stuff I'm capable of fixing so far

You got my budget right on :D only was looking at Aerocell for mileage not "box" cubes, and canadian due to import hassles...my current delusion is an 05 Sprinter, 150000 miles for $4000 (comes with 2nd gear only and decorative brown spots)

Good to know, I'm only getting 100k out of them in my Dodge Ram van...everything has to come off the front of motor, it sucks

Thanks! Good lists, looks like you guys have had the experience of a silly hard to get part stranding you for no good reason...I have looked at Autoenginuity also, was just not sure if it actually worked...you both mention water pumps, is it hard to get or reasonably doable roadside?

I'm the mechanic :D that's why I'm asking...I've never found a competent one, I can absorb everything I need to know (eventually) with the internet and waiting time, looking for what I need to have on me for that deserted highway at 3 am...EGR valve? Other common failures?

Thx, how about code reader? I know about DRB III since I have a Dodge Ram, anything less pricey that works good?

Through everyone sharing their experience, I've decided to purchase an Aerocell GMC/Chevy 6.0 gas cargo van. However, there is NOT ONE for sale in an area of 8 million people. They must be good! Sprinters, there are thousands for sale of all types...I could have an 07 long and tall with 200K...

Sure does. Enough people are talking about the 6.0 GM, I'm pretty well settled on it...thanks for posting the weight, I also carry tools so I can ballpark my capacity...15 MPG works for the loads im getting with CNG or propane / gas dual fuel

All good info...lifestyle choice is what it comes down to I guess...just deadheaded 500 miles to get home after dropping on a Saturday, couldn't do that in a straight truck, it's good you guys have that huge bunk
