2006 2500 Dodge Sprinter, 310k miles, 140” wheelbase, super high roof. I got the van at 268k and have mainly driven it highway miles while traveling around the country. I had the intention of converting it but instead put that money into maintaining it. The result is a van with many of the wearable parts replaced.
The inside has been gutted with sound-deadening rubber applied to the body panels. It has a rudimentary bed platform which you can keep or lose. Engine is in awesome shape, it trucks on the highway. A/C and heat work fine. Power locks/ windows/ and mirrors. Has minimal rust, hardly any around the windshield.

- Rear differential pinion bearing on its way out, mechanic said the wear isn’t so bad yet so it’ll go a while longer
- Steering rack has a small leak
- Middle windshield wiper speed doesn’t work
- Has a hiccup on acceleration that has been an issue since I’ve owned the van. The hiccup is worse when lightly accelerating. It does not affect overall usability, just more of an annoyance. Mechanic says it could be the crankshaft position sensor or EGR valve
- Driver’s side rear door has a crack near the striker pin that needs a simple weld, but the doors both shut.
