Mr. Bayer. The engines and differentials are made in Germany and shipped to Vance, Al. The transfer cases are made in the US by Borg Warner gear company! Go to any of the Benz forums and on search you'll find German built Benz's that have had gear noise too! Not a big deal to me, as it will be fixed! The big deal to me is somebody who doesn't know what they're talking about!!
