Hey now! I haven't gotten rid of the '83 SD yet! :-) Seriously, with the
refreshed front suspension, no exhaust leaks and working power seats, it's
ready for anything! It still needs the Catheyesque AC recharge with a new
AC compressor. In the

Craig,
I was rooting for the Sprinter too, but it seemed to be too much of a
compromise between power and fuel economy for my needs. I would recommend
one to anyone hauling loads of people around, and they're great contractor's

Let me start out by saying that it can't tow a 4000 pound boat! On the

50MPH with 3 passengers in it. It dropped steadily to about 40MPH by the
time we reached the top. I took it into the dealer and traded it off on
the CDI system apparently they can be pricey to fix.
I got the 7 year extended warranty for just that reason. With the
electronic engine and transmission controls, ACC system, ESP (electronic
stability program) and any other electronics on the Sprinter, I want to be
