Much better weather today.
Did figure out that if I turn my headlights to the on position, they are on for
about five seconds and then go out. The auto position works as it should and
the headlights stay on when needed. Ideas?

It sounds like the ML is working out well! Congratulations!

We went the northern route. Drove in snow from Groom, TX to out stop in
Tucumcari tonight. Snowing pretty hard right now. The ML is fantastic in snow.
Thanks to the clown sitting next to me on the flight to CLT, I felt kinda

That’s no right. When you get home you’ll have to check the fuel sender
Good luck with the drive!

Im stopping to fill when it’s approaching 1/4 tank and it’s taking 9 - 10 to
fill it. 24.6

When driving my "new" '85 300TD purchased in Norfolk back north to D.C. I
encountered a torrential downpour somewhere south of Fredericksburg on
I-95. The wipers did one revolution and then blew a fuse. Changed the
fuse several times with no change in results. I somehow managed to drive
through
Wiper blades are often overlooked until you're driving 300 miles on a wet
winter highway and dirty spray fills the air. On that note, be sure the washer
fluid is topped up.
Hope you like the new car!

Yeah, unless it has KeylessGo it’s a hard “switchblade” key in a fob.

My 2003 ML350 has metal (switchblade) keys, I'm sure his 2004 does also.
If there's only one key/fob, try

Fly into CLT or GSV and drive it home.

Yes, there should be two, one wide one behind the middle and left seat, and one
narrow one behind the right seat. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were broken,
as they’re pretty flimsy.

Shouldn’t there be a couple flaps/panels to cover the gaps behind the back
seats?

Yes. I have a black one for the 2008 ML550 I got for pennies on the dollar new
in the box, but it’s still sitting in the garage as I can’t get motivated to
install it.
Tag, you’re it, Floyd!

South Carolina. That would be quite the road trip. Could that big chrome

How close is anyone to it?

It’s the same as the one you scouted for me, Bob. It’s the M112 bored out just
a bit. Same engine and drive train as a W210 for the most part. Looks like they
did a stereo upgrade, too, which can be a Good Thing in these. And it’s got bun
warmers for when you come to Flagstaff in the winter!
That is a great color. Not a fan of the elk guard or whatever it is on the
front.
That’d be on my list if it were closer.
To be clear, those have no shaft balancer issues, yes?
