Common Maintenance Work Procedure Thread Link List

cahaak · Jun 16, 2010

Hi,

In the short time I've had my sprinter I managed to go through every post in the T1N section and what I have done is to creat a Word document that has hyperlinks to all of the various threads that I have found useful. It includes the standard maintainence threads as well as a bunch of other useful threads. I find it very useful and fast for looking things up.

So, here it is -

I'm searching right now but this thread needs a link to an alternator replacement thread........

This thread looks like it describes the job.

https://sprinter-source.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26087

I gotta do it so may add some pics to that thread.

Awesome resources. Is there a thread anywhere with a write up on pulling the engine? I haven't had any luck searching.

Thanks,
Casey
