Mercedes Diesel
Does anyone have any experience with the Mercedes diesel in the Sprinter chassis? How are they standing up?

We have a 2008 Grand Cherokee with the same 3.0 liter engine from Mercedes. (It was also an option in 2007.) The most common problem is the swirl valve for the turbo. It's expensive to replace although some Jeepers just bypass that with a simple resistor.
The swirl valve went out on mine at about 50K - 60K miles and I also had to replace one glow plug. Otherwise it's just been routine maintenance for 126,000 miles.
