Re: MB engine and chassis
As for Chrysler content, is there any part on a Crossfire that is also used on another "Domestic" Chrysler vehicle, that is NOT used on a SLK320? The only thing I can think of other than maybe an emblem, and the tire pressure senders.
As is, is there any SHARED Chrysler parts on the car, not STYLE parts designed as replacements for the SLK.
Does that make sense?

Re: MB engine and chassis
Off the top of my head, the automatic transmission , Chrysler calls it the nag 1and is shared by many Chrysler Dodge Plymouth vehicles, interestingly though, it was originally designed by Mercedes-Benz and was adopted by Chrysler, because it was so reliable, with proper maintenance of course, I'm sure there are other parts but I can't think of them.
Re: MB engine and chassis
yep ,an if you know someone at a Chrysler dealer you can get the part number from them, go to Mercedes and buy it cheaper,,,in most cases...

If you have a Crossfire and you want to save your hard earned cash when replacing a part, look the part over and see if it has a MB part number on it, 90% of parts have it. If the number starts with 193 XXX XX XX it is a Crossfire specific part and probably can only be sourced at Chrysler.
Parts made by Bosch etc have the Bosch number and the MB number on them so look for the Bosch part, no point in paying MB for having their logo on the part.

Speaking of spending hard earned cash.
Everyone has their favorite parts suppliers and they probably shop price as well. I usually spread it out for many reasons, but certainly price and availability is a the biggie for me.
Case in point, Autozone is running their 20% off over $100 and free ship plus $10 digital gift card.
Not bad, depending
on your needs

They also happen to be located only 50-60 miles from me.

Interesting note on the 722.6 auto trans. The one used in the Crossfire is made by MB in Germany, and the one used in domestic MOPARS is made by Chrysler in the U.S. under license. Strange thing is that a specific ATF is recommended for each. Shell 134 or other MB certified fluids are specified for the Crossfire, while ATF+4 is specified for the MOPARS. Have heard that this is the result of different shift programs. Common sense would indicate ATF+4 is fine for the Crossfire, the only result possibly being altered shift performance. This is a mysterious area.
Re: MB engine and chassis
Yeah, the 193 is the chassis code for the Crossfire but this uses the Mercedes parts numbering system. For all intents and purposes, the XF is a 170.465 (2004 SLK 320). As you'll find on XFs (and was mentioned above), 193 is exclusively a Crossfire part. For example, the headlight assemblies, which are made in Belgium. As with most Mercedes products, there's a lot of parts sharing. For example, the lower control arms on an XF should be a 202 part number, indicating that the part was originally used on the 202 chassis MB (a C-Class up to 2002). Not all SLK parts are 170, just those specifically used first on that model....which has a lot of 202 parts on it. As for the engine / Tranny: Yes, the engine is a 112 code....the next to the biggest displacement. In the US, the M112 ranged from a 2.6 liter(C240) to a 3.7 liter(ML350). The auto transmission is super tough (but service it every 40k) and is known as a 722.6. It's a staple in most Mercedes products from about 1996-2005. For clarification for the original poster, the M111 is a 4 cylinder engine mostly used in the C-Class (W202) in both N/A and Supercharged forms.
