like all cars, the older the simpler. the G spans the era that went from mechanical/vacuum everything to electronic wizzardry. MB doesnt seem to rest when it comes to control gadgets.
theres no need to fear electronics though.
mines a 95, one airbag (with the ZiMM disconnect) and i dont think the ecu does anything more than what youre asking. id PM fernweh if he doesnt chime in.
Casually looking at G-Wagens and settling on a 463 possibly.
Does the early 463 have the same level of electronics as the late model ones? 'Guessing not?
What vintage has an ECU for the EFI and/or transmission and nothing else?
Do all 463 have dual front air bags?
Bad links.
The 463s are robust and built during an era of exceptional MB quality. It is shocking how good the condition of our 463 with 200,000 miles is.
Sorry, fixed above.
Thanks, much appreciated.
It sounds like a G320 may be the ticket.
This vehicle basically just has electronics to run the engine, automatic transmission, and air bags?
If I add a mild lift and some slightly over sized tires I won't need to do any reprogramming of the system(s)?
Can I do my own maintenance with an OBD-II computer? I'm trying to avoid having to have a M-B specific device for interacting with system(s).
TIA

OBD is a US requirement. i think the europa imports had OBD installed. cant say about any others. someone on pointed 3 prolly has that info memorized, or i bet eurotruck imports would have a good idea.
Maybe go with 33s? Dunno about how 35s affect things.
