You gotta keep her!!

It should be illegal to mix electronics that will not allow you to move when the car is mechanically sound. What a trap!!!! Congrats on getting those things home!!!

What a hard journey for you both, stay safe

Loving the W220 content Mike! These road trip videos are so cool with you and Randy. Keep her for many miles to come!

Great timing I just finished the first video and this one just published 2 minutes ago! Quite an adventure

Looked like upstate New York all over again. Cold...dark....rainy.....snowy....wet. Non-inhabitable. Well done making it back. Hint: Stay out of the north east in the winter time.

One day both you and Randy will look back at this and just "Laugh your Asses off" because of this. Stay safe and warm.

If Randy's car had a 12v outlet, they do make a 12v heater, or at least they use to. I knew a couple truckers that had one in their sleeper. I did chuckle as I wrote this thinking that their sleepers were probably a lot better sealed and insulated.

They say never meet your idols but somthing tells me with randy and Mike it would be an awsome experience

Glad you made it back buddy

Great video Mike! Hopefully the views grow as fast as possible.

Mike you will find a solution. Nice seeing you again.

Mike I have to say that I'm really liking the road trips you and Randy are doing. Also another great video that we have come to expect from you. Stay safe.

I have to admit that the 'Mike found another lemon Mercedes' theme is pretty entertaining. Maybe not profitable, but entertaining.

If the board is diagnosed DOA then last chance is to send it to an SMT technician and have it dipped and cleaned in IPA then oven dried. A solder reflow may also help.

Always interesting when you buy a new car,but there´s a lot of them waiting for a repair already.Hope you have the time and energy.

Great video Mike just awesome. Glad you all made it safe. Good luck with the Mercedes

Enjoyed watching you guys making the journey home. What an adventure!!!

Safe travels to you and Randy 🙏🙏

those headlights are from a facelift model, to make them work on a pre facelift you need to repin the connectors. Tavarish has a video where he shows how to do it.

Love the video series Mike it's an exciting and interesting watch, who know how it will end up good or bad outcome for you, that's the point isn't it? It's a winning format either way. Good luck to you both !

I just ran into your channel and I have to say I love the content. Now I'm binge watching all your old content. I know this video is old, but that corroded trans module can be cleaned by dipping it in alcohol and gently scrubbing it with a tooth brush. then dry it completely. These old Mercedes all have issues with water intrusion and about 85% of the time this trick will work. If you swap it out for a new TCM you would need to have it re programmed. The car needs to see the correct VIN before it will communicate with the TCM.

Oh man that module got wet! WOW

Hello. Good to see you glad all is well there.😊👍🙏

You'll get her squared away! Or light a match and walk away! Good luck!

Get in touch with Alex from LegitStreetCars on KZfaq, he's a Mercedes specialist and he knows WELL the ABC system, he went mad on his ex-Hoovie CL65 AMG 🤣 but he fixed it✌️

50,000 subs Mike!!!!!! Congrats!!!

Hi MWM, another epic journey weighing your chance , also an uneasy calm throughout the problematic trip....Good luck...

Fantastic video! Very well edited too. 👍🏻👍🏻

Brave hearts keep it up guys loving the adventure looks like the s600 is too far gone enjoy

Good job guys ....👍👍 .

Half way through the video and enjoying it immensely Mike, you and Randy make a great double act....also loved your own yard walkaround video you should do more of those.

What A trip.glad you both made it back okay great videos

Awesome video!

Very nice Mercedes Mike!👍🏻 I think that Casper is still in your Mercedes and messing around with your engine Mike!😅 Great Video!🤠👍🏻

Love these road trips.

Great vid!!

Stay safe, good video 😀

Yep that’s me in the Grey Honda Pilot, it was so cool to meet y’all maybe

S600 "a comfortable ride, on a trailer". Fun watching 👍

Great vid. Hoping Randy's vid comes out soon on the Mopar adventure

i like this good content and how it shows the reality of buying such cars. I like how spontaneous ur Videos are. Its hard journey but u can do it

Great video Mike! I have to get used to Randy wearing another jacket and a mobcap, haha. Glad you both made it back to OKC!

KZfaq gold, love these videos guys😎🇳🇴🇺🇸👌

Ah yes, I've eaten at that Cracker Barrel in Pigeon Forge, back when the family was spending a week at Westgate in Gatlinburg. The traffic on that main road in Pigeon Forge can be insane sometimes...

Mike, You and Randy make a great team. It's unbelievable that Randy made it back home in the Swinger/ Scamp. In closing, you to remind me of Bevis and Buthead.

Randy made it, just 1 real fan 😜😂👍lol

Let them go guys

Hey Mike this is scary!

Looking @Randy with a coat and skully on priceless nice vid Mike

I got home a few times by way of rollback so yes it can get you home

Good luck to you all. Love your chanel.

Sometimes one must let things go. But the Mec is cool. Love the color.

Thanks for the 12hrs under randys ssr.

At the end the Benz got just two bigger problems. Not bad. I feel bad for Randy, not because he didn't zip up his jacket, because he is driving an Oldtimer while you driving a new comfortable Ram with one of the most comfortable cars ever build on the trailer. Let's see if this influences future decisions 😁😁

Hey Mike,I use to live close to Pigeon forge and stayed across the hiway from the upside down house,can't miss that,im close to Nashville now and if you knew that Vice Grip Garage .over out of Wisconsin to Tennessee and a county over,he would have loved to see Randy's car,he could have figure some of Randy's problems.

Hi from uk MRM 👋 you guys looked like you were having a great time till you's weren't😬 3:30 wasn't impressed the white car side by side with randy and that people carrier tailgating it some ppl stupid on roads no sence 👊 ad start by goin thru all modules and stuff etc in boot/trunk too think maybe some bad grounds too and I think water seals or summit may have gone at 24:00 if looks could kill 😂 the look randy issued was colder then -50 lol oh the joys tho hope merc stays in family she will become good with bit of love and around half the value of your property😂😬 wonder how tcms etc get oil in ? Must push up wire harness or summit crap like that just pleased you guys safe plenty draughting from rigs help fuel consumption and noticed merc did great on fuel tho😂👍 thanks for your time on this and be safe see you soon👋

Always enjoy your Benz videos . I have the stock rims for this car if your interested and plan on keeping it !

Poor Mike you have to stop buying those German cars I had a BMW 328i for the past 6 years and it was nothing but a money pit just bought a Jeep Patriot and could not be happier. Great Video as always buddy 👍👍✌️

I know with some time you will fix her up and she will run like a champ!!! 😊👍🐒🔧

Gotta love it , 👍❤️🚘

Fun fun fun. Maybe when it comes to the S600 you should RUN RUN RUN. All jokes aside I’d love to see you get it right.

You remind me of my car! Lol Great video

In pigeon forge I stayed across the street from where you all stayed before.

You can scrub the back of the module. It probably did not short. After you removed the corrosion it probably will start working again.

I love Pigeon Forge! Yall should come back for Rod Run April and September in Pigeon Forge! Thousands are old cars!

when I see corrosion like this on tiny connectors, I use wd40 and a (tip cleaner kit for torches) usually found in welding supplies to clean torch orifices (kinda like guitar wire sticks in many sizes, that can do detail filing) then test with a multimeter and a liberal amount of electrolytic grease to the contact areas and if I probe the wires with a pin I cover that with some plasti dip in a can also if I clean corrosion in modules,,, a jeweler with a ultrasonic cleaner,,,or computer repair shop who can do componen level ,, and or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush then I might consider repacking with some moisture absorbent pouches taped to the inside of the module housing (this all may not be "right" but its what I do) ...

Nice video .Mike and Randy . Hope you both are going to make it ?

I still like your car Mike. Drive safe Mike.

Greensboro North Carolina LKQ man I hate I missed you guys!

If you look very closely at 14:30 you'll spot a wild V12 Mercedes in its natural habitat.... Lmao 😂

Mike I know with Audi my rebuild favorites the replacement TCM has to be the exact number I had the same thing happen . I am sure it will be fine .

Tell Randy yall pasted right by my house in Tennessee when yall came through Sevierville Tn. (Pigeon Forge)

The life and times of an old Mercedes and its Owner.

You were probably near Garth Brooks place when you were in Tennessee.

pidgin forge tenn dolly wood

Poor Randy....driving the Shady Tree Scamp...with no heater/wipers...and who knows what else will Grenade on Scampy...

Mike keep the s600🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗

Gota fix the benz

You guys are crazy and amazing at the same time. VGG Ain't got nothing on AAR see what I did there. The first day when you introduced us to the Scamp I thought there's no way that rigs making it home and that big old Benz was a good solid car which would make it home with ease. Well nope I was wrong on both accounts. Mikey you'll get that POS figured out and randy take a bow dude you made it. Glad you fellow okies are back in God's country. Next trip should be to a warm place for your next project(s)

Yo! Yo! MRM! You should make a bumper sticker from your intro. Lol! I guess that's your grandchild? "I'm in the carrrr!" Lmao every time your video comes up! Love it!

If I was dealing with a corroded TCM, I would've gone and gotten some isopropyl alcohol, a toothbrush, and just started trying to brush off as much corrosion as possible. Give that poor thing a fighting chance! Then again, that one might just be too far gone for some cleaning to fix it.

I hope you have cleaned or changed the Transmission oil filter?

gas for me in northern Illinois is 3.99 for regular

Good Seeing You & Randy Back At It Mike, Hope You Guys Are Able To Get The S600 Back On The Road, She’s Sexy As Ever, Just Needs Some Loving.. LoL, Gentlemen Be Safe Out There..

G'day Mike, your Copart walkaround vid was very good. You might want to release one of these vids each week and show what the cars sold or didn't sell for. An alternative name could be "Copart Walkabout"

Just trailered them home.

Man that sounded like Randy rapping.

“I made a boo boo” lol

most expensive car i ever bought was a cheap mercedes ... best of luck to ya

Do not charge gear normal ? Conductorplate gone ? Oil in the TCU….Known problem.

The reason the car wouldn't shut off with the key and then wouldn't crank up or do anything afterwards... is all because of the transmission control module.. you know that your car has this problem if your transmission selector display is blank..(PRNDS)

i still think you got the better deal

The car gods are saying "part it out".

Waiting for the next episode of Mike & Randys "Road Trip Misadventures!" In episode 1, they were baffled with how to install wiper blades on a 1973 Buick Century! Randy has a car in another far away state to pick up? And, there is the customer car I emailed you about that should sorta kinda make it to Tulsa....

Ok jury is still out on what one I like better keep watching to find out what one I like until better. next episode I'll make my decision 😂😂😂

So what would have happened if y’all ended up driving both vehicles, was there anyone to drive the truck back?

Time to upgrade the trailer to a multi-car trailer??? (Is there such a thing?) :)

You can sadly tell by the wheels who earned the car before so it obvious they spent all their money on the rims and not actual basic maintenance. Hope it turns out to still be a good buy for you even.

Maybe next time find cars in California so you don't have to deal with so much bad weather.
