We are located in metro Detroit. Let me know if you are interested
Original owner of a 98'ML320 with 185k miles mostly trans-US & Canada highway mileage. Routine maintenance all DIY or MB dealer serviced.
I had the transfer case replaced 3 months after I took possession because the original started to make a clicking sound when under no load. Now the current one is making an aweful squeeking sound (like walking across an old wooden floor) when accelerating from a stand still. I had the tranny fluid flushed and filled at 170k. I did have the problem of getting out of first posted in other forums and MB mechanic said to routinely put it in/out of low to keep the solonoid from failing. I still have original battery. Replaced the window switches twice after I saw there is a DIY posted in the forums. Replaced MAF sensor and purge valve at about 65k and EGR valve at 165k. I plan on flushing the transfer case to see if that solves the problem but if not am interested in your offer. PM me if still interested.
