Once again, I look at your channel and find the job I just completed.
I got an engine and transmission with only 150,000 miles for $4200.
Now I'm reconnecting everything.
2005 T1n
Slow down a little and let me get ahead of you. LOL
Fantastic stuff... Funny thing is, the dodgy bodywork wouldn't bother me too much, here in Scotland chassis corrosion is the main issue,
Thanks for another great informative video. I learn new things each time I watch your stuff.
Thanks for the info MAN.
Your definitely gonna be my go-to.
Ready to repair and save, same van
Amazing that you would even try. You're brave!
Great informative video, we just had ours pulled out for a rebuild and was curious how they got the engine out to strip it down. Keep up the great videos guys. Thanks 🙏
Thanks this is very similar for my 2004 sprinter 313cdi 4cyl.
im just here to get to 1000! Poor Van. Good Save.
Bartender uses a stick n' lever to get me off his bar. Love that beer! Just kidding.
Thanks for the great vid. I have just started the same process today.
I'm in Australia and therefore steering wheel is on the right side (as opposed to the wrong side ;)
The Wiring loom that you have disconnected is from the fuse block? or off the ECU?
That's about all that I've got left to disconnect (saved the scariest till last)
Thanks for the great content!!
ECM connection. We need to take the connector apart to get it through the hole in firewall.
Would be a nice van without that huge dent
Really great video- how many miles on the engine?
220k
Hi handsome at the 14-28 mark , you need a nitro Pepsi drink it as recommend by Pepsi. It so tasty. You will like it. Plus just maybe a 5 minute break.
This must be an A.I. bot.
Thanks For another great video! You are certainly helping me understand the sprinter as My wife and I just purchased a 2004 Sprinter Pleasure Way RV. Was wondering if you have ever done a video that I may have missed on Removing /Replacing the dial for the ventilation direction, ? ie feet, defrost etc. Our dial is very very difficult to turn.
No, we have not made one. The dial can be stiff and the bicycle cables it pushes can also be stiff. My early efforts at this repair made only a small difference in a big problem, so I felt it was not successful enough to share.
@@FloridaVanMan Thanks very much, Any suggestions to correct it? Lube the cables? Replace everything? Also how difficult is it to get the dash apart to get to these parts?
@@michaelcox6559 Not difficult but you do need to dig in a bit. The stuff around the shifter is in the way of screws for the dash face. A couple screws are hiding, one by the driver's knee behind a cover-clip, one under the center rectangular pocket.
Disconnect to lube the cables and the knob-guts. Slide the cables back and forth and turn the plastic valves in the dash where those cables go. You'll find the stiffness and know what to concentrate on when you get there. Say a few magic words before putting it all together. :O)
@@FloridaVanMan lol thanks so much!
Are these 2.7 5 cylinders reliable? I’m looking at a 2007 leisure pleasure way with 145k miles. Any thoughts?
2005 dodge sprinter
Heavy sigh in the middle of the video. want to make sure you know your documenting efforts are appreciated. same questions as others how many miles on the motor what's the motor worth complete like you pulled it out and what do you think a removal and replacement labor value is. I personally am wondering if my excellent motor can be removed and the van converted to an EV.
Thank you! This one had about 220k miles and I feel it is worth $5k complete. Installation labor I think about $1500. We can get a rebuilt for about the same price, but without the alternator, turbo, injectors, starter, transmission, etc. A rebuilt doesn't come ready to plop in and drive away.
Was the transmission removed with the engine?
Yes! It is so much easier to keep the together for pulling and reinstalling.
I would weld some nice 6" wheels on that engine crane
If I wanted to purchase an engine from you how would I go about it.

I realize that the total value of parts may exceed six thousand dollars. But that´s more work pack´n and ship´n!
It went into the van seen in the background. This video was intended to show that too but something went wrong. Somebody deleted video clips. Oops! It was me.
Congratulations you converted a 1500 USD van into 3500 USD in less than 8 hours. That´s 2000 clear. Now when that next desperado comes along you can make another cool one K putting that motor back where it belongs! I mean 3000 USD installed is about right, no?
5000 is what I usually see
I was thinking $1500 is fair to install, but I put it in the van seen in the background. That van will become a nice camper one day. When I get time...
