We are leaving for a 2 month trip to Alaska, the first week of June. I am wondering what you carry in the way of spare parts for your Sprinter?

The obvious like fuses I have.
I also have the aluminum resonator, and the original as backup.

In advance, thanks for your inputs.

 

Sorry if this is a little late -

I would take an air filter, fuel filter, belt, and tensioner.

To make changing the tensioner easier - I would have a trusted mechanic mount studs where the bolts go that mount the tensioner to the front of the motor - I can get specs for the studs if you're still interested.

I would contact Cornwell tools - they make an outstanding kit of torx sockets - I have found this kit VERY capable of handling all the weird fasteners on this vehicle - external torx bolts and all -

I would take a 1/2" breaker bar - 19mm socket (cuz I think this helps a LOT with tire changes - the factory lug "wrench" IMO (In my opinion) - SUCKS!)

 

Thanks for the put, do you happen to know the foot pound of torq checking the tire lugs?

 

I set mine at 85 ft. lbs.
