My 05 Sprinter decided to stop on me on a shorter road trip. I was almost home & the AC went hot, dash lights went crazy & loss of power...shut it off & would not start. A Dodge dealer was just a few miles away & said they worked on Sprinters so my AAA rollback driver hauls me there. Got the call the next day that my alternator quit working, they didn't have one but had it ordered for the next day and the bill would be about $1100 bucks!!! Ahhh, no...why 1100? "Well, the alternator is $800". Ahhh, no, I'll get back with you. Called the local NAPA, $239 with core. I offered THEM the option of getting it from NAPA or I'll have the van hauled out. Ended up being $479 total. They dicked me around for 3 full days before they finished, but I just wonder how many people just pay them and do not question it??
The more I learn about Sprinters, the less I'll have to rely on someone else in those situations.
