Thanks for the info, Dennis, I still don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm leaning more towards the 4" ... especially if there might be an issue with my HP and a 5". I don't see me adding much more than I have now, maybe Jammer 3's, but that's it.

This just gives you some time to change your mind.

Nice!

I got the wheels today ... very nice! However, they forgot to send the center caps. Now I have to decide if I should install them without the caps for now ... decisions, decisions!

My center caps rusted up and looked nasty the first few months they were on, so I took em off. Most folks say they like it better without em. Of course my truck aint clean and pretty either, it gets used and abused pretty good around the farms so it gives it a meaner look.

Center caps will be here Tuesday, so I should have them on by the weekend ... thank the dear Lord!

Side note: I took my wife's ML430 to the shop today to check the codes. The CEL has been illuminated for a while, but it had been running fine, so I didn't bother with it. It started acting up last week, losing power. Diagnoses left me with a $4,588.74 repair bill ... holy smokes! I thought our trucks were bad!

We've decided to look into trading it in.

It's the family wagon. I have a connection at a Mercedes dealership (sales manager), which helped quite a bit. Got to keep the wife happy, I'm sure you know all about that!

How did you know. I don't go pick her up till 2300hrs. And she don't read these forms, so I don't care what she says. I'd just tell her how it is anyway.

Well, no trade-in on the ML. The wife likes the truck, so I get to fix it. I can get the parts for under $2000, so that's going to keep me busy this weekend.

Center caps came in for the truck ... can't wait, they look sweet!

Exhaust will be on order sometime this week (I hope) and with the parts I'm buying for the ML, it looks like I'll need to order some Jammer 3's for the ML too, the old ones look worn! Those darn Mercedes!
