Shopping for Dodge Sprinter 3500 Parts
I'll be away for most of the winter season. The problem is I would have to leave my Dodge Sprinter 3500 in the garage for the entire time. Mind you, the garage is enclosed. I'm afraid the freezing temperature could do harm to my engine. What are the things I need to ensure prior to my trip? I have heard of so many horror stories from friends about how their vehicles needed some tune up after being left unused in the freezing cold.
Leaving your car sitting for an extended period during the winter months requires thorough preparation. You don't want a damaged engine or a flat tire, right? While it is ideal to keep your car stored in a covered garage, using a weatherproof car cover helps maintain its cleanliness and dryness. But prior to having it covered, it is important to have your car washed and waxed to remove mud, grease, and other stains that could damage your exterior paint. To preserve the life of your engine, make sure to get an oil change, particularly during an extended storage and fill up your tank with fuel. This would prevent moisture and ethanol buildup that could result in rusting. It would be better if there is someone you could trust in starting and driving your car for a few minutes at least every other week to allow the proper lubrication of the engine and its related components.
Why is it that very hot air comes out of my A/C vents when in fact I did not make any adjustments on the temperature? Well, this happens occasionally but it bothers me especially during long drives.
If your A/C blows hot air, then one thing is for sure—something is definitely wrong with one of its components. It could be due to a refrigerant leak, a worn-out compressor, or an electrical problem. A refrigerant leak happens when it immediately evaporates into gas even when the A/C system is sealed. If upon checking the refrigerant gauge shows you a low level, then there must be a leaking problem that needs to be addressed in no time. Meanwhile, the compressor serves as the heart of the A/C system, and when it wears out, you could expect the entire structure to malfunction. Another possible root cause is a defective electrical system, which could be traced through the fuses, relays, or pressure switches. The A/C system is intricately designed that the lack of knowledge in repairing it could bring about more damage. Hence, it would be best to take your car to the dealer to have it evaluated and repaired accordingly.
What must be wrong with my three-year-old Dodge Sprinter 3500's radio? The volume knob adjusts on its own. It would go really loud though nobody touches it.
This indicates a worn-out potentiometer or variable resistor. There is basically no troubleshooting procedure that would work since older radios are susceptible to this problem. However, if you would want to be sure, you could go to your dealer and have it evaluated. They could tell you if there is something they could do to repair it or if you would have to purchase a new radio.
