Ok, thanks for the info. Maybe it would be better to just stick with a regular 300TE? One of the ones i am looking at just had the transfer case replaced so would that mean it would last longer or just that it had problems in the past? Also, wouldnt any 300TE 4matic still on the road mean its 4matic system is running fine?
