I recently purchased a 2004 Dodge Sprinter. It's my first Dodge and my second diesel. My first diesel-recently traded for the Sprinter-was a '93 Chevy C1500 6.2L. It was an excellent truck and made me a true believer in the power and durability of the diesel engine. I just hope that the turbo charged 2.7L Mercedes power plant will be give me the same-or better-service/performance than the 6.2.
