2005 Dodge Sprinter was running great until,, a minimum wage mechanic got a hold of it.
Original problem, needed an oil change.
What I got back was a van that will not start, needing 2 injectors and a glowplug.

Great running engine, used about 1qt every 9000 to 10000 miles, plenty of power, monthly coast to coast trips, mpg in the mid to upper 20s,
jasper transmission had just started to have the common rpm flare between 2nd and 3rd shift under moderate acceleration. and needed
a steering position sensor for the ESP (wheelspin) control

Had a check engine light for one of the glowplugs, they offered to change while it was there, WRONG.

Number 1 glowplug snapped, 2 days to extract it, got it running and somehow stripped the threads in the head and shot it out.
then tapped out the stripped hole and plugged it with a bolt and wasn't notified of the botch repair but to bring it back for the new glowplug,
after a short 2500 mile trip. Second mistake, I took it back to them.

This time they noticed that number 2 injector was leaking (compression) never touched the glowplug problem, and continued to run up my bill to cover their losses
Anyway apparently he dis-assembled number two injector to remove it, lost some of the super small parts, put it back together, reseated. started the engine and
didn't run right, then took apart number one injector to figure out what he had missed and lost those parts. now it wont start at all, CODE P0087 basically the injectors are dumping fuel.

Now it needs two injectors but,,, you also need a DRBIII with a Sprinter card to program the new injectors to the computer which nobody around here has.
And those injectors only had 50,000 miles on them. So I'm stuck with a non-runner and no time to mess with it.

Up until now it has been the best van I had ever owned, just a shame they dont build this type anymore.
It was to be on IL, AZ, VA, trip this week.

Currently at my house about 45 min. SW of Peoria, towed in on a U-haul dolly and a half ton, its just over 5000lbs empty,(yes, insanity can be pretty insane sometimes) needs to be towed out.
Two owner, Always owner driven, never a fleet truck. Clean, Clear title in my name.

Chrysler set to make $266M-investment into 8-speed transmission production

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Chrysler will shortly make a significant $266-million investment into its Kokomo, IN transmission factory in a bid to expand production of its eight-speed automatic transmissions. The gearboxes, which are built under license from Germany's ZF Friedrichshafen, have been well received by customers and critics, and according to an SEC filing obtained by Automotive News, the transmissions will eventually find their way to all of Chrysler's rear-drive offerings (Viper and heavy-duty Ram models, aside). According to AN, a Chrysler spokesman says the investment has not been confirmed, but once it is, it'll mark the company's latest in a growing line of investments at the facility. Chrysler has poured $1.5 billion into Kokomo since 2009.
