Dan, I can think of several reasons not to buy the 3500, tire cost isn't one of them. Over the life of those two additional tires, increased revenues with the extra weight could buy dozens more tires. The major cost of a 3500 vs a 2500 would be having the wheel wells modified for pallets. And...

Only difference, for maintenance, is two additional tires ....

The 9900 pound version is of no interest?

At this moment in time, the 9900 pound, dual wheel version of the Sprinter van, (3500), is the longest, with the most freight capacity. You can affect the real world limits of that by custom built in sleepers and additional equipment onboard...

Money, not miles ... do the math. I do believe the Ford and Nissan, (when the high top, long bed versions), reach the market will certainly hurt the Sprinter.

I think with today's choices, (or soon to be), were I purchasing a new van it would be the Nissan. I like the "hood" out front, giving a pickup appearance, and perhaps some of the driving attributes. It also promises to be spacious inside, both for the driver and the hauler. And Japanese...

Good work .... perfect fit, no matter the vehicle.

Tell that to the DOT cop in Lordsburg, NM, where I receive d a citation because of the Federal regulations concerning tinting. Admittedly I was in a tractor/trailer, but tinting does not always carry the weight of the licensed state. 49 CFR, 393.60(d) Just sayin ....

Consider what is freezing ..... (that will be the humidity in the air). An occasional "thaw out" of the system by turning the a/c off for a bit can be helpful.

Speak with the folks at FYDA Freightliner in Columbus, they have done many of them ..... pick their brains?

Sounds to me like you need an expert on a/c ....... and one thing I do know, vacuuming the system to remove moisture is extremely important. One of those di-electric a/c units will lower the temp 20 degrees from the ambient temp. As they start cranking down, they can get mighty cold! Used one...

It matters not the brand of oil, have the oil analysis done. It will tell you much about the quality of your oil at the time you drained it.

In the OP's first picture ..... I have driven 4 of those model trucks .... **** I'm old! Remember, there will be quite a few at the Expo in Wilmington this year also.

I would say your fan is defective, sounds as it is giving off RFI, (radio frequency interference), big time. Just can't trust the Chinese to get it right! ;)

Lower than C-336? (That was my first Roberts truck ..... 1985 Ford F-350 ... had the 6.9 monster diesel in it!)

Amen brother ... best tires I ever ran on my Sprinter.

There's more on this at .... Road Gorilla

Run away engines are not the norm ... however .... a Detroit 318, 2 cyl engine .. it was not uncommon! Nor was the engine running "backwards" ... what a mess that was. Ok, I'm carbon dating myself here, huh? :rolleyes:
