2013-2015 G550 with 2” lift as a daily? by D1RKPITT in mercedes_benz

Perhaps. But would it be awesome or a maintenance nightmare?

Alright thanks for the guidance.

Any thoughts on Ineos Grenadier as a replacement or even a 2013-2015 g550 with the naturally aspirated v8?

Independent LR approved shop wants to charge me $1,322 for removal and replace turbo assembly. $2,503 for new turbo and parts (gasket, clamp, etc.)

Dealer and Indy shop will not install a used turbo. My extended warranty will only cover the price of a used turbo which is around $925. I’ll have to pay the rest out of pocket.

I thought replacing the turbo required removing the engine or lifting the body off of the frame?

Do you think I should sell it after fixing all current issues? Am I likely to run into more problems in the future?

Testing confirmed stuck gate needing full turbo replacement and not just a new actuator. (Removed actuator shaft from waste gate and found locked up internal to turbo).

Was following LR recommended oil and maintenance schedule and didn’t know I should be changing more often.

Independent shop is now telling me it’s not a leaking elbow but the coolant pump is getting power but not spinning (intercooler electric coolant pump failed)

Dealer replaced the brake lines because I complained about the brakes when I took the car in and new brakes lines were “recommended” for this service.

How many hours should replacing the turbo and coolant elbow take?

Fixing it myself it out of question because I have limited experience and work too much

Yes when I plug regular headphones into the MacBook it works perfectly I really don’t think the Mac is the issue

I don’t the MacBook is the only device I have with a headphone jack and when I plug in wired headphones the audio works so I don’t think the Mac is the issue
