Mercedes ML350 transfer case chain replacement

I shared this video with my mechanic who initially suggested I replace the entire transfer case. He replaced the $100 chain and my ML350 runs great. Thank you for posting.

Wow! You made that look so easy! My 2014 ML350 Bluetec just started skipping-- 117K miles-- I replaced the motor mounts and transmission mount about 3 months ago. They were a pain! Took me two days. Really enjoyed your professional quality audio and video! Thank you!

My GL is at 130K miles now and still not skipping but I can't help think perhaps I ought to change this chain anyway to pre-empt any issues which might cause wear on the sprockets. The transfer case has had two oil changes since I bought it at 38K miles so I hope I've staved-off any wear so far. Thing is, the GL has high/low range and I believe the chain is different which I'm struggling to find here in the UK. If anyone has a part No, I'd be grateful. Thanks, and thanks for the video. This was extremely helpful. My only fear is working underneath the car. I have monstrous axle stands (6 tons each) and a 3 ton trolley jack but when I changed the airbag springs, I still couldn't bring myself to get under it. It's a bit of an irrational phobia I guess.

Nice work!

Great work Cody .. it was time to do that before it tore up the case and bearings .. You saved her a ton of $$...

I absolutely luv watching your videos! I have this same vehicle but wldnt dare attempt to take apart like you just did but very fun to watch. Tks for sharing.

My factory MB manual gives their "two-step" torque technique for the driveshaft bolts, torquing to an initial value in phase 1, then turning an additional 90 degrees in phase 2. The values differ for front and rear. In the front at the transfer case, it is 40 Nm, plus 90 degrees, in the rear at the diff it is 60 Nm, plus 90 degrees. In US measure (conversion factor is 1.356) that is 29 foot pounds plus 90 degrees in front at the case, and 44 foot pounds plus 90 degrees in the rear at the diff.

Whats the torx for the bolts on the rear drive shaft?

Great video! Thank you. Could not remove my driveshaft from transfer case though, all bolts out, soaked with rust blaster and still won’t budge. Had to do complete chain chain out with section still attached to driveshaft. any hint on how to separate both? Thank you. Rick

How long did it take you to complete the work on this.

Made that look too easy lol. Where are you located? Must be the south because I heard a rooster in the background in the beginning of the video.

Thanks for your video,i was able to get it done but now the car won’t start 😢😢. Have power but it won’t crank. Any idea what can be the issue?? The air suspension compressor too is dead

I just changed the fluid in my transfer case in a W251 -07 chassi after 70k miles, and the transfer case inside was metal clean, the oil was little bit dark red, how come this one was so dirty and full of sludge? How many miles your car had?

On my 2011 ML350 Bluetec I found the driveshaft bolts were T55 rather than T50

how much would this job cost roughly at service shop??

Hi Cody, You have agreed to do collab with us and took the product from us and never created a video and posted on your social media channel. Can you please tell me any ETA when you can post? Product was sent to you in August 2023!

You never put the foot punds for the drive shaft.

where are you located?

Not that easy for 2008 e350 4matic
