Looks like it might have LeTech Portal Axles.

Great guys. I've been dealing with Hans since 1974 or 1975.

To what shop did you take it? Curious.

It was in a thread started by NHDave, if I remember correctly.

They are all different. There was a recent discussion of this very subject where P/N's and where each one should go were provided on P3.

363 to be exact. *:-))

Most definitely! Not only will you be "hard pressed", but you almost certainly will not.

There is an Ebay seller in St Petersburg, FL who is pushing a slew of older G's imported from Europe. He claims they are all diesels. However, the VIN's he provides all too frequently do not agree with the engine or the year model he claims. It's true that they could have had an engine...

As I told you on the phone, I do not know the older MB diesel engines at all. However, I've contacted a friend here in Atlanta who knows MB diesels pretty well; and gave him the link to this thread. There's always my indie MB mechanic in Chamblee, but that will cost you $.

These are questions for which the answers would be dependent upon too many variables to be meaningful. Sorry. A couple of examples may explain. What I paid for a new 280GE in Stuttgart in 1984 has no meaning today. Also, what I paid for a $160k 2000 G500 in 2002 (18 months old) is also...

You have my phone number. To give a little more detail to the answer above: "S" = Strasse = 2WD on the street "SA" = Strasse Alle = 4WD or all wheel drive on the street. Do this only where you have a slippery surface or the windup in the drive line could damage things. "N" = Neutral "GA" =...

Transfer Case uses GL4 gear oil and the diffs use GL5 gear oil. I happen to like Redline synthetics; but in an older G, you might discover a whole bunch of leaks and seeps with synthetics. This goes especially for the engine oil. Brakes and diff locks use a good Brake Fluid, preferable DOT3...

300GD It's actually a 300GD, not SD. I'm your close neighbor mentioned above. I'm up in Gwinnett County, and have been driving and working on Gwagens since 1984 (30+ years). If you'd like some help with it let me know. FWIW, there is a very good parts supplier for the G in Oakwood, GA...

Envious! Wish I could have joined you to make it a menage au trois. :Wow1: Maybe next summer we can do a US Kimberley Group Meet-up; and include the Kampers and the Kruiser. In the mean time, if either of you runs across a potential buyer, please send them my way; as mine is for sale. DUTCH

Sadly, 4000 lbs towing capacity is only medium duty; but it's certainly better than the nothing that MBUSA provided.

It would be interesting to know how he plans to do this, since they are less than 25 yrs old.

I don't understand the "Can't do anything with it." comment. I had a 280GE for 18 yrs with that European hitch ball. It's 50mm in diameter which is 0.8 mm smaller than 2"; i.e. negligible. I used it regularly with no problems whatsoever.

Yes on the English, and better than most of us here speak German. Doubtful on Ebay.
