Before I pulled the trigger, I asked Dempsey if he could work on Mercedes and his answer was "f**k yeah!". So I pulled the trigger.

NA. 5.5 liter quad cam, 382 hp/391 ft lbs. Sounds familiar? It has variable valve timing and variable intake (dual length).
You do need a good scanner to pull codes and reset reminder/trouble lights. So, I have a icarsoft MBII i980 scanner coming.
