Would a 1/4" flex head hex bit ratchet help? It's a foot long, so you need a lot of clearance in some direction. Once you find the right angle, the flex angle locks to hold its shape. https://www.amazon.com/GEARWRENCH-SLIM-HEAD-RATCHET-81030/dp/B078Z3FNX7

I decided to take the ISM (Integrated Servo Module, an electric servo motor that a coded electronic controller causes to shift the tranny) off the ML63 this afternoon so I can see about getting it cloned to another one I pulled off the ML350 I knackered. There is a cover shield with 4 little

I got to looking at stand alone ECUs. There’s one that’s like $1500 that can be programmed and mapped and will get rid of all the key nonsense plus give more power if you change the mapping. I suppose though if you used all the electronics from a donor you could probably swap it over. There

I can see this as a far less expensive approach to owning one of these cars. They're getting harder and harder to find in this condition, so locating one that's got a really clean body/chassis/interior and just having to do an engine swap or rebuild really wouldn't be that bad of a job. -D

I wouldn't pay that kind of money with a bad engine but if the car is indeed nice, it would probably be not too hard to find a replacement, or drop another type of Benz engine in. I've been wondering about stand-alone ECUs for newer Benz engines. It appears some are doing it but I don't know

Looks like they took the pictures with a telephoto lens. No way that ask will fly with all the "Kentucky chrome" it's got. Stance is weird, too, with the front sitting low. Probably needs a set of front springs, which are readily available and pretty cheap - about $100/each last time I checked.

Yeah, that would be a pretty easy project once you found an engine. I'm not sure rebuilding would make good (financial) sense unless you were doing it yourself. -D From: Mercedes on behalf of Floyd Thursby via Mercedes Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2023 11:50 AM To:
