I may have the Chance to part out a 2000 ML-430 / w-163. The motor hung a Con Rod out both sides of the engine Crankcase at Hwy speeds. Cause unknown ?
This ML- has 148,000 miles on the Odometer. Interior is Dark Gary & has 3rd row seating. I'll have a Chance next week to get a clear view of the body condition. My Guess that Large parts will be local Pickup in central Florida. Small Box-able parts can be sent state side only. Leave me a list and I'll see if they are presentable & in Working order. IE starter , Alt , Idler pulleys, Radio / sound system, exterior Trim pieces . Pricing will be fair at Junk yard or below .

replace the engine,
you can buy it for $850-$1000 from a junk yard. i did the same, now running good, except some vacuum problem i think, ( some shaking sometimes).
