| asudds New user Date registered: Feb 2014 Location: Ann Arbor Michigan area Vehicle(s): 98 BMW M Roadster, 03 G55 AMG, 11 Saab 93 2.0T Posts: 4 | New MB owner with new to me 03 G55 AMG Have been looking on and off for a while and finally pulled the trigger and got my wife a G55 AMG. It has 100k miles but is a clean 2 owner truck with full dealer service. That being said I am an Automotive Engineer that also grew up in a Shop that my dad owned. Needless to say I don't expect to ever be back to the dealer's service department. I have a few general questions: 1. Parts Sources: can some recommended suppliers be shared? 2. Mercedes STAR, are these available or equivalents that work for DIY use? (Was able to fix/clear outstanding codes/issues after I got the truck home yesterday with a few minor fixes) 3. Recommended Service at 100K that would NOT have been done by the dealer? So far I have CV Axle repacking, Locker and brake flush and fill, steering stabilizer, tranny filter and fill and I plan to switch to synthetics in the axles and transfer case. 4. Current issues: Engine sits crooked side to side (expect engine mount bad) and the truck had a 60mph vibration which could be a combination of tires out of balance, worn stabilizer, collapsed engine mount and old CV axle grease. Anything else common I should look at for a solution for that one? Used parts needed: 1. Rear Seat Headrests (Black) 2. Grill Guard Lock Tool 3. Spare Tire Key (can these be purchased with a lock key code or VIN at the stealership?) 4. Jack Handle and Tire Iron (all that is in the box is the jack) Thanks in advance, and I look forward to getting up to speed. The DIY write-ups look great. Aaron | ||
