How about you try to take a little common sense and realize this is a forum and most people don't spend a pile of time trying to type in a perfect thought.

I guess it can be repeated until blue-face-syndrome develops, but for some reason it doesn't make sense that higher RPMs=higher shift speeds?

Have you guys noticed what's happening to this thread? There are only about 10 people still posting full time, trying any and every way to put the V-10 on top of the PSD. There have been many people that posted, saying that their V-10 will not out pull the PSD. Either they went from a PSD to a V-10 or a V-10 to a PSD. I don't see any of these guys posting anymore because of the way this is going. But, I guess if you can't believe your own kind, you will never believe someone with a PSD.

"Talk to my wallet"
Having a choice of taking the grades at 70 mph or saving $100 on fuel cost daily would make me thinking. Actually I would love to have Sprinter as a second work vehicle, but even those with 200,000 miles still sell above 15 grands. Evidently owners love them.
That would be a bummer for Bill going in fuel cost comparison

What's funny is how I see so few of them around here in Metro NY.
Maybe because they already got a bad rap for brakes, transmissions, wheel bearings, engines, you name it, and when you need parts, MB never seems to have them in stock anywhere.

Here we go with bashing competition again.
Would they sit in shops like you guys suggest, there is no way so many of them would log 200k miles in 5 years.
Than compare the prices a bit farther.
$10k new price difference is about 20%.
Than when you compare 5 years old vans with high miles, the Sprinter price is 100% higher than E250

Oh I understand changing the shift rpm change the shift speed. What I think is crazy is driving around at 65 in 2nd gear. I tried last night in my psd. I started the truck out in 2nd and all I can get to is 40 mph. Then I started in first and shifted to 2nd and held it there and still could only get 40. A tall gear can only go so fast. Or so I thought. So I have to relearn what I thought I knew about gearing. Bill will beable to put his truck in 2nd and drive 0-65 never have to shift gears. Yea he'll start out slow, but tell me that aint wild.
