Getting to know my sprinter 170 wheel base, single rear wheels
Hey what's up guys, I own a 08 dodge sprinter. I was fed up with the dealers, the first month I purchased the vehicle . I was brand new in 09 . It was a left over from the year before. My first week I had to return it, because the ac unit was totally shot. Luckily I caught it fast, the replaced the entire system. Then my tire pressure light never went out after that, No matter how I would set it according to the door stickers. So i gave up on that one. Then come my EGR acting up. I would scan the OBD and the message would say EGR sensor. But checking online, and matching my symptoms I then changed the EGR valve. That certainly did not help the lost of power in the truck, it would reduce to speed as the hills got steeper, then I would have to pull over and restart the truck. Then it would work well for a while, until.it acts up again. I am still living with that problem, I welcome any suggestions on this issue. Then it does continue, I am at at a 144,800 miles and I did realize that I was experiencing some shredder as I would accelerate asunder pressure, this was at about 80,000 miles. I did my research, which took a while to diagnose. I decided it was the torque converter. I bought it, it ran about $1500 no core charge. I will keep you guys posted as I do the change. Then go the glow plug. Check engine light came up on a cold morning -8 degrees. I scanned and it read cylinder # 1 glow plug. I changed it then the light came back, it then read cylinder 3&4. I should have just changed all at once.

Its a circuit(breaker) box that controls the glow plugs....it usually blows out when the glow plugs go bad....
