[QUOTE="Pip, post: 516041, member: 6039"] Far as the Sprinters are concerned. They just will not take the abuse. I had 2-03' sprinters in my fleet. The last one just got crushed in jan. 09'. The body had cracks all over it, replacing doors, hinges, was pretty common. Parts are expensive for the sprinters. Not really a good cost effective vehicle for UPS in it's present state. If I remember correctly the cost per day was close to $55 or $60 to run. The rearends were another problem along with the tranny. Each were looking at $2500-#3000 approximate to replace. the sprinters might be better suited for a private contractor, but just not viable for ups applications. The drivers did like them, though. Since I got rid of the 2 in my fleet, it has freed up a lot of time to concentrate on other repairs, though. Gotta say I'm glad They are gone, from a mechanic standpoint. Just my 2 cents. [/QUOTE]
