New power door switch, new power steering pump, new windshield, and new winter coat for Lola. I prefer the ML 55 over the Escalade.

Heavy steering - Check the power steering fluid. If it's low it might need topping up. I doubt it has ever been changed now might be right time to do it.

Lola's too busy making sure all the other dogs in the neighbourhood see how good she looks in the ML 55 AMG. What dog wouldn't? Getting three cars for than amount of money was some sharp trading on your part. The Cadillac, even with that many miles, will be a good running vehicle I'm sure. Definitely seems to be a channel favourite and mine. The ML 55 AMG is looking like an easy fix so far with mostly used parts to correct the neglect over the years. Wonder video once again. Thank you.

@dicedicebaby97311 ай бұрын
Mike, your steering rack has a variable speed module that fails, causing the heavy steering at low speeds. I bought a w210 for my mother with the same issue as your ML. The module is NLA available from MB. It extremely hard to find an aftermarket replacement. My cure is replacing the entire steering rack..good luck!

Excellent job as usual Mike. You are giving that AMG the loving she should have had from previous owners but she is still in great shape besides that. I still concur that you need to peddle that Escalade and either get one in better shape or get one of her sisters from Chevy or GMC.Just sayin'...

Mike, this is a no brainer. The ML55 is vastly superior to the mega-mile Escalade. I'd be surprised if you couldn't find a bolt on Tailer Hitch for it, while scrounging about. It would make decent content for you, especially if you got it at a pick-a-part type yard, so you video both the removal and installation. I've put on a couple bolt on type hitches, and it's really just paint by numbers.
