[QUOTE="john346, post: 622717, member: 10873"] I had one of the first Sprinters in our center, it went fast as hell, sucked the dust in with the best of them, and was easy on fuel. But after time the electronic extras were not up to par, the mud in spring played havoc on the abs system, and delivering out of it was a pain at first, but became livable. The trick I found for the dust from the rear doors that continually shook the latch assembly loose, was a set of motorcycle straps to pull the suckers in tight. Overall, they just were not built for the beating that a daily life in brown dishes out. My most memorable experience in the car was my first August in it, I kept telling myself that I was being a wimp over how hot it was in the car. On the dirt roads you didn't dare roll down a window as that would really invite the dust in, and the way the vent system ran around the engine, the outside air was warm by the time it reached the cab. While returning to the highway (asphalt), I felt something wet hit my bare leg, I looked up to see where the moisture had come from, and the bloody glue attaching the air bag warning sticker on the visor was dripping. I then stopped trying to convince myself that I was a wimp, I knew it was damned hot in there. [/QUOTE]
