Cleaning out the basement . . .

I have been cleaning out the basement and I have some G stuff for give away or for sale as listed below. I can send pics if interested.

Front drag links from a 2003 G500 with 80K miles. I naively replaced these as part of my quest to get rid of the dreaded death wobble (new tires did the trick) when I first got my truck. My, how we have learned since. I believe the boots and the ball joints are okay except for one of the replaceable joints on the drag link where both can be replaced separately. I think there is still some life left in them or they may be useful for troubleshooting purposes. These are free to pick up in the metro-west suburbs of Boston or I would ship for the cost of shipping.

Bull Bar parts. I collected these for my G500 which did not come with a bull bar. I never got around to putting them on. The cut bull bar is genuine MB, while I believe the full one is aftermarket. I think I have a complete setup with all of the mounting hardware (including the special wrench), but I am not entirely sure. These are free to pick up in the metro-west suburbs of Boston.

Rear driveshaft from a 2003 G500 with 80K miles. I replaced this as part of my quest to get rid of a vibration in the drive train. A new driveshaft made no difference, so I assume the old one is okay, however it has been sitting in my basement for several years. This is free to pick up in the metro-west suburbs of Boston or I would ship for the cost of shipping.

Fuel tank pressure sensor (163 542 05 18). I bought this after a check engine light for evap leak, but the problem turned out to be the purge valve. This unit is new, never installed. $45 shipped to the USA.

Front Driveshaft (4604102218). This is a known good (80K miles) driveshaft which I replaced as part of my vibration chasing. This is the W463 style with the greaseable U-joints. $150 plus shipping.

Front Driveshaft (4634101302) This is the later style non-greaseable U-joint design. I bought this from a bone yard (60K miles), but I have never installed it, so I'm not sure about it's status. The U-joints are tight and don't bind, so I think it's okay. I will ship it for the cost of shipping and if it works for you, send me what you think its worth.

Left and Right new style window regulator w/o motor. These are new Chinese copies for the new style windows regulator. Door modification (there is a DIY somewhere on one of these forums) will be needed to use them in early MBUSA trucks. $25/each plus shipping. If you need a motor to (these rarely fail), I think I have an extra to go with it.

PM if you are interested in something.

Thanks.
