The main problem with any of the Sprinters (regardless of who badged them - Dodge, Mercedes, or Freightliner) are that the underlying parts are Mercedes parts.
If you can do the labor yourself, you're way ahead of the game but you're largely paying for Mercedes parts. Sure you probably aren't going to do turbo Diesel engine work, but if you can keep the oil and the trans fluid changed, your still way ahead of the curve. There has been a lot of to do about Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). Yes they are insanely expensive. However, that is true regardless of what product they are on Sprinter, Dodge Cummins, Super Duty, whatever has a diesel. By and large, if the engine is operating properly, you won't have issues with the DPF. However, if you have a check engine light that is resulting running rich and burning coal, and you ignore it, expect a plugged DPF eventually. |
