Not really, $4,000 over the v6 or $3,000 over the 5.7l v8.
It'd be interesting to see a mileage test with loaded trucks. I'd guess that
loaded up the diesel will get much better mpg and the better torque will make
it more pleasant to drive.

This is definitely not a 24 valve Cummins. Much more Mercedes like engine which

would be higher.

The W140 is a far more solid car, and you can tell by just driving it. That's

I'm not following your math. Even if you could possibly use every drop of the
tank capacity, with a 23 gallon tank and 400 miles, you get around 17.4 mpg.
400/23 = 17.39
At 250 per tank, you're down to about 11mpg.

Worse than a Camaro? Easily cured with proper snow tires, and

Thanks again, Peter.
What about front springs on the W140? Can they be removed and installed
without the compressor by simply pulling the bolts and shock and lowering the
control arm? Or would it be better to break the lower ball joint loose, unbolt
the shock and lower with a floor jack?

W124s and anything that uses that suspension do not as well, just
support the spring link and remove shock and pivot bolts and lower
link, spring falls out.
