Replying to: russ457 (Jun 25, 2008 1:16 pm) Hello Russ.Most people that post are people with issues/problems.Don't forget there are thousands of Sprinters out there and groups such as this one are mechanisms to help us solve problems mostly. I purchased an 06 long and tall for my electrical construction Co. now with 55 K on same with not even a whisper of a problem.I do have a bit of a whine noise in the tranny at 2000 RPM but that is common for the 5 cylinder automatic Sprinter. I travell across the Western Canadian prairie provinces for my work ,so needless to say the average 25 MPG that I get is quite nice.I carry a stocked warehouse so to speak with me,approx 2500 lbs,and it performs very well,uphill,etc. and at speeds of 65 to 70 mph.I did get 28 mpg at one time and if I am careful with my driving ,I know I can achieve it again. This beats my Ford 1 Ton hands down. I did install a set of overloads ,because of the constant weight. I also have the deluxe seats and I find it comfortable,more so than my old Ford. My suggestion would be to get a history of service if possible on this unit you are looking at. They are fantastic machines as far as I am concerned.   Go for it !

Replying to: sprinterman (Jun 26, 2008 6:09 am) What a great site. This is what I initially thought...then in my research, I was getting all bad stuff. Nice to hear good stories. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to help me. Nice to know good people still exist!   Russ Replies to this message: fhr57 (Jun 26, 2008 3:43 pm)

Replying to: russ457 (Jun 26, 2008 7:51 am) I also have a 06 with 16,000 miles. I checked this site often before I bought. Looked at them for 2+ years. I thought the same thing. I test drove many times over that time at the local dealer. I replaced a 95 Ford 250. We use it for a passenger/travel van. Always get at least 20 mpg, sometimes a little more on long trips. Thats almost 2x more then my Ford. I live in ne Ohio and had no problems with snow, ice, etc. I was going to change out the stock tires, but ended up running them through the winter. I've been to the dealer 2x for oxygen sensor, and thats it. I was holding out for a 07, but thought I should wait till I see more feedback on them, so decided to go with the 06. I bought it new from a dealer that advertises on the internet. This site is great if you have an issue. Frank

Replying to: sarrerab (Jun 23, 2008 4:35 pm) I have a 06, and every time I turn on the rear air the same thing happens. It sounds like the engine is going to fall out. I figure it is the compressor kicking on, because once the groan stops the air works fine. Frank

#1208 of 1262 BIG SPRINTER by yoyodine Jul 01, 2008 (2:31 pm)
My husband and I bought this beautiful big black 2006 Freightliner Sprinter in Aug 2007.We love the space but unfortunately it has a problem . This particular truck, I don't know about the rest , has a problem with the immobilizer - part # 5135344 AA - , so what happens is the engine doesn't recognize the key . It's the second time it happens in seven months and we bought it brand new here in South Florida. It's a real shame because it's a beautiful truck and I love it. My question is : Has anybody ever heard of this problem happening this often? : First the computer went ,now it's something else related to the key.Please if anybody had similar problem ,please let me know .Thank you.

Replying to: russ457 (Jun 25, 2008 1:16 pm) Hey Russ. You should definetely get this truck. My dad has had an F-150, Chevy Express 2500 and this van is by far better than all of them. The ford we had would break down almost every month and the chevy was a gas guzzler. We use this van for construction and it withstands all the abuse. It gets great gas mileage and does not suffer pulling heavy loads with its small engine (3.0 vg diesel). We had the van completely full of drywall almost to the roof and it barely dropped and it drove like there was nothing in the back. Trust me this van is a good investment and outperforms anything out there. This van is also very easy to drive but its a pain in the ass backing up if you have no windows.
#1210 of 1262 Rearward facing bench seats? by kenbob88 Jul 25, 2008 (10:17 pm)
I have a 2006 passenger model, short. Does anyone know if I can reverse the bench seats to face rearward? The seats won't fit into the brackets facing backwards, but I notice that the floor brackets have removable plastic covers at one end, indicating an option of some sort. Can the brackets be reversed? Inquiring "minds" want to know!
