#642 of 1262 Rumble noise by jlr1 Jun 21, 2006 (8:52 pm)
I have read the post about the rumble noise a low RPM.I took mine in to get fixed and it turns out it was 2 u-joints.Beware you can't change u-joints but have to buy a new drive shaft.Any one else have to do this?This is a real let down for the sprinter.

Replying to: mrnimmo (Feb 06, 2002 2:21 pm) ok, we could not wait for the conversion camper vans. After owning a VW bus pop top for 17 years, we bought a "Dodge" Sprinter with a body by Winnebago. I see a lot of aftermarket kits to "rebadge" the Dodge into a Mercedes. They include the grill of course. Great floor plan.   My question to the group are engine problems. 2 warning lights in less than 200 miles. The first was the oil warning it was too full. Drained some oil off. Now the "engine" light has come on. Isn't this a tried and true engine? Are these flukes or does Mercedes have a problematic engine? Replies to this message: nescosmo (Jun 22, 2006 9:52 pm)

Replying to: engenlow (Jun 22, 2006 7:21 pm) Engenlow.... The engine is very sound and you have to go slow and easy until 15 to 20000 miles that is not the law but that is what I do; I have change the oil 3 times in the last 8000 miles, is not that I need it but is because I want to make sure that my engine get clean. I only use dino oil not syn. I will use maybe syn. after 30000 miles to make sure that my engine get the proper brake in. I know some guys said that it does not need to brake in but that is me. I use delo 400 15w-40 and it run like a silk oil never get dirty and light never come on If you need service be carefully with the dealers, tried to stay away from them.
#650 of 1262 Newbie to forum and Sprinters humbly asks advice by tandembiker Jun 21, 2006 (3:53 pm)
Hello Everyone,   I'm Steve in Ohio and am planning to order a 2007 passenger 140 wheelbase, with most of the options, in September for (hopefully) a March delivery. I have a couple of odd concerns. We want to fit the Sprinter in our oversized garage. Length & width are no problem. Height might be. Our garage door opening height is a clear and free 96 inches (one foot higher than the US residential garage standard 7 feet). The published height of the 2006 140 wheelbase passenger model is 94 1/2, not counting the antenna. I'd like to remove the stock antenna (at least the thin part, potentially leaving the base portion attached), and buying some sort of aftermarket antenna, maybe the kind that mounts on the inside of the windshield near the headliner.   Is it feasible to remove the stock antenna? Does anyone know if the height of the 2007 140 wheelbase passenger model will be different than 2006 height?   No, we do not plan to order the rear AC.   Finally, can anyone tell me why you can't get the Parksense option with the towing option? Is it because every time you backed up with a trailer, the sensor would beep because of the trailer right behind you? We want a hitch for a bike rack and very occasional light trailering, but also want the Parksense. Our (hated) Chevy Venture has both, but you can disable the parking aid when necessary.   This forum rocks - I've been reading it for months while planning the Sprinter purchase.   Thanks, Steve in Ohio with wife, four kids, many bicycles (including a tandem & triplet), a love for car camping, and two minivans that are becoming too small for our adventures.

Replying to: tandembiker (Jun 21, 2006 3:53 pm) Tandembiker.... Have you consider the 3500 Sprinter they have dual wheels, heavy duty back springs and it have 15" wheels. They rock. Replies to this message: tandembiker (Jun 22, 2006 5:10 am)
