there is a tube but no stick on promasters. are you saying the vans made after 18 have no tube? i have no idea on the newestversion with the 9 spd. on my 18 any stick could work if long enough, just stick it in till it bottoms out. when trans is at operating temp; then 2" on stick is fine. just...

my thoughts on van. if you want to carry heavy the 3500 extended promaster, if you want to carry bulky but light 2500 sprinter extended.

dealer tells me you can get a 170 wb but not a 170 ext wb in a gas engine

im learning the instrument cluster must be programmed to your vehicle. seems i need somebody with speedometer experience to take info from old one and transfer to the new one. sounds simple huh? yeah well its over my ability limit

Hey Folks, I have a 2008 Sprinter. It came with the Low line instrument cluster and no steering wheel buttons. I have a non running 08 that has the Hi line instrument cluster and steering wheel buttons. I installed the Hi line and wheel buttons on my van. Everything seems to work fine except...

put van in neutral, set park brake, use wheel chocks. thats best way not to cause transmission issues. having tran in neutral reduces chance that park prawl (gear that keeps trans in park)could be broken

the 07 is computor complicated enough, i am considering putting another drive line in it and was on the quest for optimum fuel economy at the same time. that is the reason for questions about the 7 spd. thanks for the replys

I have a 2007 Sprinter with high miles and a bad engine. I am considering putting another engine in it and returning it to service. Is the 7 spd that is in the newer vans compatable with the OM642? I am looking for mods to increase fuel mileage and longevity. Anybody know what this may entail or...

ive got an 07 sprinter 170 lwb tall with a bad engine. the rest of the van is in good shape. may sell it or trade

well as of now i have 16,800 miles on the gas van. i really miss the fuel mileage of the diesel with its 550 mile plus range. I had the pleasure of some snow and ice in nevada and utah this week; and a major snow storm in tulsa ok saturday morning. this van handled it ok. I do feel the diesel...

thanks for the reply Turtle. I have noticed there seems to be 3 recurring problems with these gas powered promasters. a leaking radiator, cracked flex plate, and rocker arm/cam shaft problems. Im due for my 1st oil change very soon. I plan to do as many of my own oil changes as time...

I am new to having a gas promaster. I will be due for an oil change soon. what oil is everyone running in these vans. any filter you feel is best. how about oil additives, anyone using one. I like chevron gas and plan to use chevron techron additive in the fuel every 3k miles I had the diesel...

Last week my 2014 promaster diesel hit 200k miles. I had lots of problem with it from 58k miles til 126k miles when fca finally replaced the transmission with a brand new one under warranty. I had axle and ball joint issues soon after that. It was about a $4k repair. i had many miles of trouble...

The tank was not empty. It did not reset after it got a fill. I got the message it would limit speed to 5 mph in 196 miles. Lucky for me this warning did not count down. If i had ran the tank to empty and not refilled, there would have been a code thrown and quite possibly a shut down. I...

UPDATE: I drove this van about 7000 miles with the "refill DEF" light on and the "Slowdown in 196 Miles" message on info center. Yesterday I refilled the tank and the light went out and the message went away. I got my usual 2200 miles per gallon. Im thinking the sensor or float or what ever it...

Thanks for the replys fellows. just got a call to north of dallas tx. so far the countdown has not taken affect. im still gonna stop and restart in less than 150 miles a couple times to make sure that is happening. not going over that 196 miles. about 1050 round trip. maybe ill get used to the...

dollar, ive been getting 2,200 mpg on DEF fluid since new. there is only 186k miles on van now. filling up every tank full or so would be a waste of time.

Yesterday the refill DEF light came on. It was not a surpise, as it was due again. I have always waited til the light came on. I get about 2100 - 2200 mpg on DEF fluid. I have filled from the pumps at truck stops since new. It takes about 3 1/2 gallons or so to fill. well yesterday the van did...
