At first I couldn't figure out how to get it off without removing the lift bracket, but after jiggering it around a bit it tilted and slid right out.  Interestingly the replacement was the same as the one on there, a "Wahler" I think it was.  I guess it had been replaced at some point prior

The top will make some pretty nasty sounding sounds, especially the locks that are in the top of the windshield frame. All perfectly normal but takes some getting used to. Kudos on the t-stat. Must be a lot easier to do on the V12 as compared to the V8. It’s a real pig to do on the M119.

Not on the ML. Early ones were awful as far as reliability and build quality, think “Daimler Chrysler) but as they went on it improved, so I’ve been told. I just know what I researched and a couple of owners have told me. After I checked one out I was confused as to what they would be good

I’m not saying it’s bad, just that it seems like a vehicle that’s looking for its market but doesn’t know what that is. I looked at one a while back and never having been in one I was sort of puzzled by it. I would have been interested in the cargo capacity, which as Kaleb mentioned, I can

Dan's criticisms are on point. But the ML is a good fit for me. I don't put on many miles, so the fuel economy is not a big issue for me. I also have an F-250 powerstroke crew cab, so the lack of cargo space is also not an issue. The AWD, good road clearance, high and comfortable seating with

Re: [MBZ] Fairly cheap ML

Yeah I was kinda surprised at this one I got, it really isn't that big.  The 2012 ML seemed bigger, maybe it was the later design or something. Supposedly the AWD system makes them pretty good in the slippery stuff and off-road (and they have some good ground clearance) but I never drove in
