Guys, I think you might reding too much into this problem. I went through 2 Home Depots, and 2 Lowe's (small bar frig. 120 volt), and never had them in a truck or hooked up to an inverter. Most lasted to about 6 months. Only time I every took the extened warrenty's, so painless replacements. I...

Phil, as a former mgr. at Pilot I am assuming that Petro might be having the same type of problems with loyality cards not being registered that was happening at Pilot. This is just pure speculation on my part, but these truck stop company's can beat "big time" if they have a dishonest cashier...

As a former Pilot manager for 12 years I will put my "two cents" in. Although I used to work for the company by no means do I "bleed Pilot Red and Yellow", I think by traveling 7 of the 12 years I was with Pilot, and now driving in a Sprinter for the last 3 1/2 years I think I have a feel for...

I read a Ford press release about a month ago. At that time all that was coming to the US in 2010 was this "shorty" aimed at the inter city delivery and the repair people. No deck longer than the 72" was mentioned, not a van for most of our needs. Brownie

Guys and Gals : Maybe some good news for a change. I am mostly local so for the most part I am home every night to get mail . Today a recal notice from Chrysler for 2007-2009 Sprinters titled, " EMISSIONS RECALL H44- Reprrogram Engine Control Module-it says: "The Engine control module on...

First off, I want to thank everyone for the positve and informative responces. After a ton of research I have even with the exact instructions from the Dodge tried the manual "punched in" reset, and it did not work. It must be reset by the scanner at the dealer, or anyone who has a scanner and...

As a result of my local dealer overfilling my crankcase on my 2007 Sprinter two out of the last four oil changes I am at the point since I have crawl under the van to let some oil out. I am going to skip the aggravation and just change it myself. I have checked the threads and come up empty. So...

I have a 144 inch 07 with the mid top (3 heights on this unit), 6 cy diesel. 15 mos old 74,000 miles. I mostly drive metro Chicago, although I have been out on the road much more this month. I get consistanly 20 mpg +/- .5 mpg mile, fast, slow, load, no load, a/c on/off, city or highway. My...

As a former manager of Pilot when I left 18 months ago although it should of been treated differently debit was the same as credit and subject to the upcharge at that time of .06/gal. Listening to truckers rip my face off when I was on their side of the arguement was one of the reasons I left...

There is a good article in todays Chicago Tribune business section about had bad it is for truckers with the price of fuel. I am hoping many other papers pick up this theme to let the American public know our plight. Maybe somebody can go on line to pick up the article as a link to let our...

I asked about the recall when my 2007 was in for service shortly after this forum first made a statement there was recall in process about a month ago. As per the case my dealer was glueless even after I took them to the net to show him our site. So now I will take time out of my work week to...

Terry and Rene: My 2007 Sprinter went into service on 04/01/07, do want a true 12 month reply, or will a 10 month recap do (51000 miles)? Also since I mostly do metro Chicago with limited road trips (2 a month on average), will my data be helpful or will it skew your survey? Brownie 4042

Has anyone with a 2007 Sprinter, or anyone with a 2007 truck with the new gov’t mandated emission systems have a “handle†on what kind of fuel additives to use? After being in the truck stop business for so many years Howe’s, Power Service, and Lucas always seemed to work in years 2006...

MSinger, with your current set-up what is your range of fuel mialage? I am thinking about putting all of the headaaches behind me and getting rid of my Sprinter. You have a single wheel cube with nose cone box under 10,000 gross correct? Brownie

I just had a feeling someone would ask why I carry a pallet jack. Well I am getting old and nutritionally challenge (only can shop at “big boys shopâ€), (and a face only radio and e-mail could love) so at the end of day just trying to save some wear and tear on the body. I work out of Chicago...

I have a 07 2500 140" med top, Cat Scale 5940 lb empty with a "ton" of cargo securement items, carts, pallet jack and personal stuff. Brownie

First thing I checked into, Illinois 12 mos. or 12,000 miles. My mileage was 17,500 at the time. I waited 39 days for parts called the dealer again, and finally the parts came in. Now of course it acted up anywhere from 0 to 25 times a day prior to parts coming in, as of the last 7 days in runs...

Marty: Sorry for the delay in responding to your request. First off let me give the 07 Sprinter it’s “props†over the 06’s. Size, interior back lighting, a new larger power mirror, tilt, seats, and multi mini-storage compartments, great. My thinking after following the forums for close...

I have a 2007 144" High Top get a consistant 20.4 MPH. Ok with milaege, but I thought by waiting till the new 07's came out would avoid some of the prev. Sprinter issues,boy how wrong I was, very disappointed in Sprinter. Brownie4042

Dan: For the last year and half, first on part time basis, full time for the last year 5 to 6 days a week I have been a "local" running Chicago with maybe 2 trips a month that let get out more then 150 miles. The old joke about Chicago is there are only two seasons, winter and construction. If...
