    First Limp Home Mode - take it in?

    Experienced our first Limp Home Mode today. It happened early in the morning on the highway after a full day of driving. Pulled over, restarted the engine and it ‘fixed’ the issue. Just minutes prior we did drive the fuel down to just 1 bar and the low fuel light came on. We didn’t drive far...

    2005 Dodge Sprinter turbo kicks out on hwy and going uphill

    I recently took my van to a mechanic because I had the codes for glow plugs and glow plug module on my dash for a couple years. I waited that long because another mechanic said it was fine until I had issues starting it in the cold which I never have. My turbo started kicking out going up hill...

    T1N in LHM with P2225 & P0715

    I've got a 2006 Sprinter 2500 with 211,XXXmi. I'm currently traveling across the country and stuck in Montana in LHM. A week ago P0715 and P2225 showed up, and then a couple days later went into LHM (up to 2nd gear and R only). I've also lost some acceleration/power (had to completely depress...

    Stuck in 2nd gear - next steps

    My van (2002 Freightliner 158" WB) has been sitting for a year and now it's stuck in 2nd gear. I did the Doktor A's Nag1 transmission service: https://sprinter-source.com/forums/index.php?threads/2476/ and it's still stuck in second gear. I read in the forums that it may need to be reset by a...

I decided to replace the conductor plate and the plug for the TCM. I...

    2007 Sprinter 3500 Turbo Boost Issues

    Hi All - I am new to this forum but I'm hoping someone can help. I have a 2008 Itasca Navion on a Sprinter 3500 chassis. About a month ago I began having turbo issues which would result in the unit going into LHM. I found that if I pulled over and turned the ignition off and back on, I was able...

    Cleaning EGR to hopefully fix LHM - anything else to inspect?

    Hey Folks- I'm the second owner of a well used 2007 Freightliner Sprinter, 3.0 V6 OM642 ~184k miles. Since getting the van I've replaced the rear end with a remanufactured unit, replaced the turbo (horrible shaft play), replaced the intake manifolds (swirl valve problems), glow plugs...

    LHM reset without key fob?

    I had a coolant explosion (cracked reservoir) that I patched with JB Weld but I can't seem to get the van out of LHM or maybe I am coincidentally experiencing a new problem at the same time, wouldn't that be my luck?? I saw on a previous thread the key / lock trick to reset LHM but it didn't...

    P22A1 code, CEL light, lost power on upgrade

    I bought my 6 cyl 2011 used with 114k miles with a CEL light lit and a NOx sensor code and naively assumed it would be a cheap fix (I previously drove Fords and for the most part did my own minor repairs and maintenance). After belated research, I had it professionally replaced and drove the...

    No Boost and Live data Help Needed.

    Recently purchased a 2006 Sprinter. We knew going in the EGR was throwing a fault and likely needed to be cleaned/replaced. It was very dirty and clogged so we replaced rather than cleaning it. Unsure if the old resonator was causing any issues so we replaced with the aluminum eliminator that...

    Engine Replacement

    Hello All, I own a 2004 Dodge Sprinter 2500 with 245,000 miles that needs a new engine. According to my mechanic a connecting rod broke while he was test driving it attempting to diagnose my LHM issue. He quoted me 12,000 to get it replaced with a used motor and that is well above my budget. I...

    Stranded in transmission full protect mode

    My 2003 T1N is stranded in a state carpool parking lot in Saginaw, Michigan, about an hour's drive from my home. The problem arose very suddenly. Leaving a parking lot I felt a small lurch in a low-speed forward gear. About 20 miles of city driving later the engine lost connection to the wheels...
