noise

Hello fellow sprinter owners.. This is my first post on this forum. I finished my second DYI build last year, 2015 sprinter 144, 4x4. I am in the mountains on snow covered trails weekly. Ever since I got my van there is a loud one time metallic poping sound from the front end under heavy load in...

Sometime late last year, we had the tires rotated, front brakes, and an alignment done on our 2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500 (passenger.) Soon afterward, my wife started noticing an unusual noise that seems to be coming from around the firewall area on the passenger side. It does not vary with speed...

i need your help guys, so my 06 has a crazy grinding noise when it upshifts on auto past 15mph. i tried manual shift and found out that 1st n 2nd gears are all smooth at any speed and the crazy grinding noise starts once i upshift to 3rd..2nd gear has slight wine...i have swapped the rear...

Hi, I greatly appreciate anyone's input or help on this. Working on a 2006 long and tall. At 100,600 miles there were zero issues with the transmission except for a slight RSN. I performed a transmission service: Drained torque converter and pan, performed Doktor A's RSN fix with a #55 drill...

First, thanks, you guys have been a great resource. I've had a rumbling vs grinding noise start a few hundred miles ago, and it seems to have gotten progressively worse over that time. It seems to be worse when my van hasn't been driven that day. Its a rumble or grinding that gets worse when...

Hi All, I’m at a bit of a loss with this one... I have a 311 2009 with 170k on the clock and just lately when I change gear there is a massive clunk when I lift the clutch. I’ve checked all the prop shaft bearings and that’s all good plus changed the gear box oil today which did have a large...

Hi all - I had my van in the shop last week and now it’s making a new noise. I wonder if you guys might be able to diagnose it. The noise kicked in after a few hours of highway driving. It generally starts when I pass about 60 mph. Acceleration and deceleration don’t seem to matter, but speed...

Hi all, I'm having a strange symptom on my Sprinter (2006 HR, 140, 2500) and I've searched all over the forum (and even other vehicle forums...) and haven't found a single person with a similar sounding issue. What's happening is after a few minutes of being stuck in stop and go traffic, where...

Hi everyone, picked up my 2008 Dodge Sprinter last weekend. Test drove it a bunch before purchasing on the highway and off, but didn't get this weird noise until I was 3 hours into my drive home. As you can hear in the video, it comes in low, builds, and then all but disappears. It then comes...

Welcome...I've read quite a few posts lately about alternator clutches. I haven't read a post that gives a clear understanding of what the clutch is for, why a bad one causes belt damage/failure, how it can affect engine idle/tick-over and how to test/diagnose one. Just for clarity our friends...

So, last night I drove my 2006 Sprinter just a tad heavier than usual. This morning I heard quite a rush of air coming from the passenger side (USA) of my Sprinter when I pressed the pedal down. I thought maybe a hose loosened up from my aluminum resonator replacement. I popped the hood and...

2006 118' wb Ive been having a grinding metal rubbing noise coming from somewhere up front right after I start the engine. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it starts perfect. Anybody have an idea of what this could be and how to fix it? Thanks

2016 Winnebago View (2105 Sprinter 3500 chassis), at 1600 miles til present (3000), has a drone/howl at light to moderated acceleration. Drone/howl is loud and sounds similar to a bad differential. Present in all forward gears. Techs state is is most obvious in rear of coach. Not present on...

After I shut off my Sprinter, there is a singing noise, sometimes in harmony, that comes from the passenger side of the engine. It goes on for a few minutes, and is terminated by a whir and a noticeable click. Any clue what that could be?

I have done many repairs on this Sprinter, it is a 2004 and just got over 200,000 miles on it. This sprinter was purchase in Vegas and drive back to Toronto about 4 years ago. I never paid any attention to the noise but it always been there. The emergency brake had stuck so I when under to...

Here there is a tip if you have BOSCH calipers like mine. I had a rattling sound from brake pads I knew it for certain , cause every time I press the brake pedal a bit, the noise disappeared, so I was checking that today, apart from other service tasks. You can see in the pictures a height...

After purchasing a new to me 2008 144 Cargo, I spent a lot of time reading and searching this forum. You all are incredibly knowledgeable and the information I found has led me to change my own oil, fuel filter, air filter, differential oil, and transmission fluid. The van runs great and I am...

Hey guys I'm a new sprinter owner and I love the truck so far. I drive a 2004 sprinter 3500. The other day when I went to start it, they was a single thud noise when the engine turned over. It runs and drives fine but then makes the same noise when shutting engine off. Any ideas as to what this...

I had a rumble noise every time I was driving around 2000rpm. Also my tachometer was moving up a line and come back every 5 seconds. ALL FIXED!!! I changed the transmission fluid and drained the torque converter. The transmission pan was a medium difficulty. - get a tarp, a aluminum pan...
