#1039 of 1273 Sprinter AC by kendall69 May 04, 2007 (9:19 am)
Just took delivery of an 07 144 tall roof with dual air, here in southern Ca. desert. It's already been over 100 degrees and the dual air for me is mandatory, not a luxury item. With the Dual air I got the 200 amp alternator. Replies to this message: surlyoldbill (May 04, 2007 9:38 am)

Replying to: kendall69 (May 04, 2007 9:19 am) driving from Texas to CA on I-10, I never needed the rear AC except when first entering the van after being parked in the sun. The outside temp was 90-113 the whole way. The front AC worked just fine to keep the cab cool in the passenger 140shc.

#1044 of 1273 It's official ... We are ORPHANS! by kying May 14, 2007 (9:47 am)
Hi Folks: Today, Daimler pays $650 million to get rid of Chrysler! In a blink, all Dodge Sprinters became orphans. We have a legal parent who doesn't know us, and we have a biological parent who is not obligated to us. I think we are in trouble!

Replying to: kying (May 14, 2007 9:47 am) Whoever bought the company also buys the debt and the obligations. No one's warranty is in jeopardy. "Dodge" will probably continue to sell Sprinters; unless the company that bought Chrysler just sells off all the assets to pay for the purchase and make a little walking-around money. Then look at the bright side; in 20-30 years your Sprinter will be an oddity collectors item, like my Corvair trucks!   Parts are all from Germany, anyway.

#1046 of 1273 Battery of battery discharges by pdac May 14, 2007 (10:28 am)
We just got our Sprinter back from the Dodge repair center after almost three weeks. The next few weeks will tell if my problems have been solved. The short story is that it wasn't the terminals, cables or connections. The original mechanic was replaced by the "MASTER" Sprinter mechanic and another highly qualified sprinter mech. They went through a battery and an alternator before finding the cause - all five glow plugs were shorted. This was causing the high demand on the electrical system, ultimately burning out the alternator, and a replacement alternator, the original battery and a replacement. So I now have five new glow plugs, a new battery and a new 150 amp alternator. The parts alone were over $700.00, plus labor (all under warranty) and Dodge paying for a rental car. This Sprinter has been very expensive for Dodge. 1 replacement engine, 2 batteries, 2 alternators, an AC evaporator, engine mount, idler pulley, front rack, 5 glow plugs and 1 month of car rentals. I can also tell you that a minivan doesn't work for a family of 7 for a trip longer than 30 miles. Here's my next question - I've also asked the shop on this - isn't there a relay or timer that should cut off the current to the glow plugs after a specified period? What caused all five glow plugs to fail or short out? And what will prevent this from re-occurring? Thanks

#1048 of 1273 New Parents and No more 07 orders by 2000_valk May 14, 2007 (4:44 pm)
Kendall69 Says no more orders for 2007. And now that we have been adopted, Are these things related or just a coincidence!   I test drove an 07 the other day. More power and quieter that the others. However I seemed to know tons more than the salesman. Didn't know what REST or ASSYST was. He told me to order one would take 6 months.??? I guess the best thing to do is wait for the dust to settle with our new Kin and see what happens. You know how the rumor mill is.
