I investigated this one a couple of days ago. Not sure why it’s relisted. Don’t recall the reason for rejecting it after corresponding with the seller. Probably because of miles. Found a 2002 ML320 on the local FB Marketplace. Has BAS light and the owner says it needs a yaw sensor, even had

Incorrect, the late 70s GM diesels we're junk. By '82 they had figured it out. Today you rarely see them but square body GM trucks rusted bad so they're relatively rare now anyway, it's no big surprise the least common of them are quite rare... Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Tue,

GM didn't modify a gas engine, they just shared displacement. It wasn't broken cranks either, they didn't have sufficient head clamping. It was fixed by the end of the run but nobody wants to hear that part. The 5.7l diesel blocks are prized by hot rodders as they're stronger than the gasser

Was the change that big or just the fact VW management deceived them?  I seem to recall the actual MPG increase was pretty small.   Less that 1/2 mile per gallon IIRC. Of course Chevrolet got the ball rolling with their modification of gas engine to diesel.  A lot of broken cranks left a lot
