The story behind this engine rebuild is harsh.

To lose an engine in a foreign country….in this case Mexico…could be spooky.

And….it was.

No engines….no mechanics…no fix for a broken timing chain in an expensive Mercedes engine.

So….they ran across the border….back to the States….back to the safety of other pampered Mercedes owners and the dealers that support them.

These two got the YouTube community to pay for a remanufactured engine.

WHAT?

How do you do that?

And….when you get a new engine, and you zoom off without a “break-in period”…why do you immediately head back to Mexico?

I do stupid things….maybe I should get the YouTube community to pay for my stuff, too?

The real stars of the show are the competent mechanics.

I love to see how people do this stuff.

Those mechanics let them do the stupid stuff and still didn’t rip them off….even if they probably did “see them coming’.

And….watch for a vicious roast of this video by this guy…..

It should be good….he’s got a lot to roast.

Here’s a video about “Dave’s Rig”….I deliver mail in a RDH Cherokee that isn’t as heavily modified as this wheeled abode.

Dave?!! WT…Heck?!
