Did you not have to recalibrate the height sensors after this? I installed new air shocks, new air block, and new bags in the rears and cant get my 09 ml63 to sit right. Almost like it sits at the right height while parked but once i start it and drive it wants to ride about 3" too tall. Even bought a Launch X431 V elite which claims it can do recalibrations
@monumentauto25 күн бұрын
I didn’t have to, the sensors should still read the same way and the computer is still set to have the car sit a certain height, unless the 2009 is different from the 2007 somehow I’m not sure sorry

My wife's 2010 outbreak has the same issue. Unfortunately it would cost 10k at least at a garage. We're looking into a newer vehicle. Her's only has 126,000 on it, only thing wrong is a rusted out frame that should be a recall.
@monumentauto3 ай бұрын
That’s tough - I agree if a rusted through subframe is the main reason a car is totaled, that’s on the manufacturer for not protecting their parts better from the factory

IM doing my 180,000 mile oil change on My Ml63 tonight!!! I have only used Mobile 0-40 European Formula. When I bought mine it had (and still does) have rattle from loose camshaft adjusters on startup. I tried the Liqui Moly and the engine made a horrible horrible sound when running for a few seconds on that green stuff to the point where I immediately did an engine shutdown and drained and repoured fresh Mobile. Ive had it since 162,000 miles. I love this Truck!! Still no engine issues. Although trans is starting to buck in first gear when flooring it.

i have 08 ml 350 with 100,000 miles and i feel underpowered for the weight of the vehicle.around town mileage isn't much more than the v8 and i don't get near the performance. the tranny shifts fine if i'm keeping constant pressure on the gas from a stop but will sometimes search if i'm just cruising around, can't complain about reliabilty. engine and tranny are bulletproof but accessories will fail. i do my own work if possible and so far no trips to mechanic in the four years i've owned it

Hello I was looking at a ml63 so that’s how i came accross your content ( which is fun to watch btw). It’s always good to see fellow enthusiasts appreciating cars from This era. would you consider buying an 07 ml63 with 170k miles for 5k? And do you have social media accounts?
@monumentauto7 ай бұрын
Thanks! I’d consider it but I’m also not known for the most economical decisions when it comes to cars…definitely kinda high mileage but if it’s running and driving, that’s a tempting bargain given the amount of vehicle you get. If it needs a bunch of work though, you’ll put another 5k in it before you know it. You doing your own work? I think that’s the only way it’s really feasible unless you have money to burn. And I don’t have any car related social media, just KZbin.

Interesting! Very different cars in some ways…I don’t know anything about the M5 but I guess it depends if you want SUV or sedan - they’re both powerful luxury vehicles that can be expensive to maintain but very fun and rewarding as well. Personally I’d go ML63 of course but I’m biased
