Replying to: ernstck (Feb 04, 2009 4:14 pm) GP's are $12 each at my local dealer, and take about 5 minutes each to replace with common tools. Would you pay someone to change your oil or replace a bulb? I had #1 and 4 burn out, which also blew the GP relay. Dealer blamed it on water in fuel. I actually had two burned out GP's when I still had a warranty, and the dealer replaced them under warranty. I bought the van used in another State, and that didn't matter. I can highly recommend Victory Auto World in Petaluma CA.

Replying to: ernstck (Feb 04, 2009 4:14 pm) suggest you inquire a little deeper as to glow plug warranty, it's two way Bosch Warranty is applicable as to the original warranty separate to Chrysler.  Glow plug have a use by limit 100 thousand miles or five years which ever comes first. therefore a seven year warranty on drive trains by Chrysler warranty is void as Glow Plugs and injectors are not to be included with the actual drive-train warranty.  Warranty replacement is dependent on the actual cause of failure but it's a Grey area as to who is responsible towards warranty replacements. It's contentious.

2010 sprinter tested at 25mpg by fleetnews. It says 31mpg in article but American gallon is .83 of British gallon.   http://www.fleetnews.co.uk/RoadTests/story/Mercedes-Benz-Euro-5-Sprinter/2906866- 12   This is with the new 4 cylinder. Whether Dodge is going to carry the 2010 or include the 4 cylinder , who knows.   .
#1248 of 1262 Buying new 2010 Class B Motorhome on Diesel Sprinter by vtoews Sep 17, 2009 (8:54 pm)
I am buying (maybe) a 2010 Winnebago 170XL from a dealer in Denton Texas. The price is great. These are my questions: Any Ideas on reliability? I am a Canadian and am concerned about the warranty but since this will be my vacation vehicle I will put more miles on in the US than in Canada. I figure the chances of needing warranty will be highest where I put on the most miles and therefore buying in the US makes sense to me. Besides Canadian prices are about45% higher than US prices. Is the network of Dodge Sprinter dealers good and how do they take to a traveler dropping in for warranty work? The MH weighs 8550 with a 170" wheelbase I believe that allows for another 5,000lbs before it is maxed out to its total GVCW of 13550. Is this a concern?

Replying to: vtoews (Sep 17, 2009 8:54 pm) Changes have taken place within the Sprinter world,please see the attached link. http://busride.com/news.asp?N_ID=909   It seems that Chrysler might not sell or service? the new units. I own an 06 unit long and tall,I have 89,000 miles with no problems at all,since new. I hope your Sprinter serves you as well. Best regards Guy from Manitoba.

Replying to: sprinterman (Sep 18, 2009 4:06 am) Forget Dodge ....   As of January 1, 2010 , Mercedes will SELL and SERVICE the Sprinter. It will have the 3 point star on the front. There will be about 150 mercedes dealers authorized for Sprinter. They know how to maintain a Mercedes. I would not go anywhere else.   +

Punter1 Does that mean Mercedes dealers would honor the dodge warranty on a 2010 Dodge Sprinter (Winnebago Motor home) Replies to this message: etroup (Sep 19, 2009 7:15 pm) punter1 (Sep 20, 2009 5:42 am) sprinter2010 (Nov 19, 2009 7:39 pm)

Replying to: vtoews (Sep 19, 2009 5:02 pm) I have a 2007 Winnebago View on a 2006 Sprinter 3500. I had a conversation today with RBM Mercedez Benz Service Manager in Atanta today. He said they had applied for a Sprinter franchise but it had not been awarded yet. I asked about the warranty but he did not know yet how that would work.   I would expect the warranty to just carry over but we will see. I would be surprised to learn that Dodge enhanced the original MB Sprinter warranty.   What is the difference between the warrarty offered by Freightliner and Dodge. Freightliner is owned by Mercedez Benz so that might be a good indicator. Replies to this message: punter1 (Sep 20, 2009 5:42 am) sprinter2010 (Nov 19, 2009 7:39 pm)
