> [@sobo](#): > > Yeah, I like the truck a lot and I have been doing some reading on it. Parts for the motor and trans are NOT expensive at all. They are all shared in common with the 300SD sedans you see rolling around. That is because your specific motor came out of a 300SD, which was done in '09 > The engine is an OM617.95 turbodiesel engine taken out of a 1982 Mercedes 300SD seadan. The vehicle was hit from behind and was taken to Potomac German Auto in Frederick, MD. I purchased this complete engine after getting good compression testing and hearing it run while it was still sitting in the sedan. The engine comes with a 1 Year warranty through Potomac German Auto, covering complete engine meltdown. The engine was professionally pulled and loaded in my G Wagen, then towed to Quebec and was installed by Warren Thibault.

I’m sure this question is more so prompted by his recent acquisition of some baller vehicles in addition to other cars that he has owned or currently owns rather than the original sticker price of this benz.
