    Repair work on a Sprinter, I need feedback

    The keyword there is "Sprinter AUTHORIZED Dealers" Not all Dodge dealers can service Sprinters. I am trying to get a nationwide list of Sprinter dealers, but am having little luck. Guess I'll have to call head office.

    Canada Great Day In Canada

    Broompilot...I did not say that the wiretaps were a bad thing. I said that you had them. Personally I see nothing wrong with them. I don't think the Gov really has any interest in gramma Bettys recipes.

    Sprinter Smoking

    well if ya go on a 3 to one ratio the overall cost of the oil change is dropped considerably and a little extra less scheduled down time to boot. They were pretty insistant about making sure you change the fuel(water) filter on time...it'll grind ya to a near stop.
