I don't like that sprayer. No replaceable jug. I want to be able to switch jugs.

You're on the right track with the price. The installation wasn't cheap but I didn't find it excessive at all. There is a lot of attention to detail that you can't really see in the pictures. It's pretty custom so the price varies. I imagine that you would be spending about 75-80 complete.

All I can say is that Genesis D-xt is the machine I'd want and that set up you have Walt is very well layed out. Only thing is I'm not sold on the sprinter as a reliable vehicle. But other than that I'd love to have your rig. I'd opt for a used truck myself cause I have a new one now and I feel like cleaning in it destroys it and I've only put 15,000 miles in 2 years on it. And I know I'd save a good bit of money cause the sprinter is very expensive new.

Anyways congrats on your rig Walt....sounds like it's been a good choice for you.

Hey Tim,

We have had and used the sprinters in Australia for many years. They are quite a reliable workhorse (we have a lot of courier companies that use them as well). There service intervals are huge and their economy is great.

Fed-ex and UPS have them here too. But I keep reading of many having problems and some doing really well. It seems like the complaints are pretty high. Almost all of the sprinter forums I go to have complaints. Maybe in a year or two when they have this new engine out and this new low sulfer fuel here worked out. I might then can see if I'll get one.

Also Dodge isn't known as a very profitable company due to all the problems they have, over all as a company. Keep in mind that my in-laws have a dodge ram 3500 with the diesel with a manual transmission and it's been a very good truck. I believe it has 174,000 miles on it...runs great and has relatively few repairs for such a heavy duty run hard truck and gets good fuel economy with the chip that's in it.


I'm probably more likely to go with a box truck of some sort.....but I do like the look of the sprinter and the versitility of being able to stand up inside it.

Bob did a hell of a job on that van.

I sure hope you appreciate it Ron.









If you win the sprayer you should give it to him.
