Re: Mercedes GL/GLS test drives

Appears to be much cheaper here than on RockAuto and appears to include both filters:

Re: Mercedes GL/GLS test drives

I probably should've ordered the filter(s) with the wiring harnesses. I'm a little confused by the MB listings of a pan and gear oil filter - RockAuto pics look like there's 2 filters that might be integral with the pan? https://www.mercedesbenzpartsshop.com/v-2017-mercedes-benz-gls550--4matic--4-7l...

Re: Mercedes GL/GLS test drives

I guess for $80 I could chance used on the trailer towing control module: https://www.ebay.com/itm/374899116053?itmmeta=01HSGZ3PWHQEWVSJSP9VCGF1KS&hash=item5749ba8815:g:6O4AAOSw3E1k55qF&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAAwH3D2%2F7tlV2m1iaGy%2B7pPYxUOvP6VAkX200XvsZ7x5ntWCxy1u540vfXNgtcUuNDya%2Ft5DfdUJRsafN...

Re: Mercedes GL/GLS test drives

Hitch received weeks ago, but still in the box in the garage. Hopefully I can install at my first 5k service, which should also include tire rotation and reinspection/harness ordering for the cam sensors if oil intrusion is noticeable. I should just order the trailer wiring harnesses and module - $1...

Re: Mercedes GL/GLS test drives

Ordered a trailer hitch from Uhaul/CURT - they had one for $219.95+tax, $233ish total. Seemed like I wouldn't find anything cheaper. I really hope it looks stock, which shouldn't be hard because those were not refined or "nice" looking anyhow. It's a CURT CMF13190, seemed like it was $400+...

1997 Polaris Indy 600 XLT

My youngest called snowmobiles snowboats during his first few rides and the name kind of stuck. I almost titled this post snowboat, especially since this was the best topic area I could find for a personal snow-craft. I bought a 1997 Polaris Indy 600 XLT for $300 that probably spent at least 2 years...

Re: New GM gas engines

I wonder if these will have the "standard" big block bellhousing pattern and mate with a typical 4L/5L80E or Allison 1000.

Underpowered RV

Borrowed my dad's RV (1992 Rockwood (Spartan Chassis) - 5.9BTA Cummins In-line 6, turbocharged). Seemed pretty doggy on the drive home, but I think weighs about 14,000 lbs and has 190 HP stock so I didn't really know what to expect since I'd never driven it before. I thought the turbo gauge was brok...
