Expert Answers about Dodge Sprinter


  • How to Convert my 7-way to a 6-way round?
  • We have a couple of solutions for you you could simply use an adapter like you mentioned the Buyers Products 6-Way Round to 7-Way Blade RV Adapter with 8" Prewired Cable part # 337TC1067P would do the job but is an adapter so you're adding points of failure there. I instead recommend adding a 7-way female socket on the back of your coach again an idea you had. The wiring process is very simple and I can provide you with the wiring schematics to guide you through it. To do this you will...

  • Grease to Use with Roadmaster Sway Bar Bushing
  • When installing the Roadmaster Split Bushing for Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-205249-10, I recommend using the Mystik JT-6 part # L74FR. This is a marine grease that is very similar to what comes with their sway bars.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for Motorhome on 2006 Dodge Sprinter 3500 Chassis
  • There are not any Firestone Brackets that are a fit for your Sprinter 3500. For your suspension enhancement, I recommend the RoadActive Suspension Kit # RAS3620-E. This is a mechanically adjustable system that will allow you to adjust the ride of your Motorhome and give you the additional support you need. This will reduce sway and body roll. I've linked the page to all your other options if you prefer a jounce style spring.

If you wanted just T-bolts that fit the # 853-5715 would be what you need.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendations for 2006 Dodge Sprinter Ambulances
  • Because an ambulance will have a lot of equipment and in it and the the weight of people, the stock suspension will be compressed already. This can lead to the rough ride you described. Adding a Timbren system like # TMBRSP25 for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 or # TMBRSP35 for a 3500 will reduce the stress on the factory suspension and absorb road shock and reduce roll. This will provide a much better ride. Both sets have a capacity of 8,600 pounds and are made of rubber. I have included...

  • Is There a Roof Rack for a 2004 Dodge Sprinter with High Roof
  • I do have a roof rack option for a 2004 Dodge Sprinter with High Roof but there are no bolt-on options. Instead, you can install artificial rain gutter mounts on the side of the roof with the Thule Artificial Rain Gutters part # TH542 then use the Thule Square Bar System part # TH65BJ and part # TH712500.

  • Roadmaster Anti-Sway Bar Recommendation for a 2013 3500 Sprinter RV
  • The correct rear anti-sway bar for your 2013 Sprinter 3500 would be the Roadmaster Anti-Sway Bar part # RM-1209-131. You will need to remove your old sway bar before you can install this product since they utilize the same installation points. The part # RM-1209-131 that you referenced is for older model Sprinters and gets installed in conjunction with the factory bar but would not work for you since it is for older model Sprinters.

  • Hitch Extender Pivot Adapter for Use with Hollywood Racks Destination E-Bike Rack

An extender won't allow your rear door style to still open.

  • Recommended Oil Pan Heater for a 2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 with 2.7L I5 Engine
  • I have a few options for your 2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 with 2.7L I5 Engine, a block heater like the Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater part # KH11483 or an engine oil pan heater like the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad part # KH24500.
