So we (me, wife, dog) are In Dawson Creek, 1700 miles into an adventure from Anchorage to the Pac NW and Mountain States when this issue happened. Yesterday, running 60 mph in cruise control, start up incline and the speed just bogs down to around 40 and the trans. doesn't downshiift. Parked for about an hr. and started off again. I ran fine the rest of the day, up some fairly steep hills, no problem. Today the same thing happened. Even an easy start from stop, I can get it going to say 30 and put the pedal to the floor and it will get up 40 or so reluctantly; put the pedal to the floor and it will accelerate slowly but no downshift. No messages displayed, no CEL. Called MB and they want to tow me to the nearest Sprinter certified dealer, Zimer Autosports in Kamloops. 576 miles from here! The tow guy came by tonight to check things out; can't pick us up until noon tomorrow and it will be at least a 12 hr. tow. I pay up front with reimbursement from my servicing dealer. Yikes! Any ideas or anyone know anything about Zimer?
TIA,
Wayne
