Don't now about price of rebuild, but I do know two things-these are some of finest MB diesels (I own one) -and around here-NE they are scarce and pricey so a rebuild might well be worth it. Have you done the tranny>? Performance products has kits and long blocks and short blocks-or they used to.

First, if the speedo doesn't register, most likely the cable is broken, so no odometer or speed control -- both driven off the cable in the speedo head. It's possible the speedo head went bad, but very unlikely, it's just a magnet and a disk and a bushing. The odometer may or may not work
