I am tring to get information on purchasing and customizing a Dodge Sprinter van for my family (6 kids). Nothing to fancy like Airstream but more that the box it comes as (and preferably not white). Does anybody know of a dealership that does this?

Hello all.Just picked up my new Sprinter this week and I have a question regarding the daytime running lights.In Canada we must have daytime running lights to properly register the vehicle.Does anyone know if the daytime running lights are activated through the computer? I don't want to damage the computer if I install a relay connected to the start switch in order to turn my lights on upon starting the vehicle. Thank you for any information regarding this issue. By the way,I am really impressed with the fuel mileage on my first trip. Guy

i have the maintenance asst in my 2006 sprinter and would like to know if anyone knows how to reset the maintenance asst to zero after service. can i change it without voiding the warranty my dealer quoted me about $200.00 for the oil, oil filter and fuel filter. i think that is a bit steep so i would like to do it myself. is that what everyone has been paying? they also said i had to change it at 10,000 look in my book. so i did and i read it to say change when it tells you. got 11,000 and says about 3000 more until it is due. isn't that why you pay the extra money for the maintenance asst? i don't think they are to hip on the sprinter. they only have one person to work on them. you need to make an appointment to get it serviced.

Your post was harder to read than it would have been in standard lower and upper case type, but punctuation is very often used to liven up prose. Your post conveyed the impression that the writer was a not very internet savy, old-fashioned grease-under-the-fingernails mechanic. This may lend more credibility to your posts for some people and reduce it for others. Lots of people intentionally give a certain impression over the net. Maybe you are acting, or maybe this is really you! I am not "offended" by all upper case, but I think we should write like our high school English teachers taught us to. Jim

Of which,there is a differnt group of folk with varying education standards, time has changed, we no longer have the luxury of living in the fifty's. Unfortunatley standards have changed, as a direct result of Govenments failing to teach the basic, three R's. Altered Sprinter. Australian Citizen  PS: And a for, the start letter! Is Capital =A  No one's perfect, on the net. |

why is there so much confusion on the type of oil to use. my book on the 2006 says to use mobil 1 0w-40 change at 10,000 unless you have the asst. why are some you saying don't use mobil #1 that it is not a diesel oil. it is installed by the factory that builds it. they surely would not tell you to use something that is going to do it any harm. did the freight liner call for something other than mobil 1?

VW diesel run with the same problem with the oil they use. On my Jeep CRD I use a Proven 200 to avoid the problem.
