Yes! Apass works well with my 2012 sprinter. I like it for surfing and paddling-not too many pockets and fob isn't waterproof.

Woohoo! Back up and running. Apparently a freak alternator failure (fingers crossed) and tripped an impossibly small 10 amp fuse hidden beneath the voltage regulator.
Got a weekend camping trip...

Up to 16.9 mpg by keeping acceleration rpm below 2k but still averaging 75-80. Anybody have any tips short of slowing down?

Dynamat runs through vehicle. You can see it better on the earlier pics i posted. Hope it makes a difference in noise and is installed as to not cause condensation issues.
