F.  How many gallons would the whole flush/fill take? AZBob Sent from my iPhone On Mar 22, 2024, at 10:24 AM, Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: Zerex g05 yellow or g48 blue. Green is wrong. Needs a full flush and refill with correct coolant.  Sent from my iPhone On Mar 22, 2024, at 12:15 PM, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: I got the $80 Dorman tank. As I begin to drain the leaky tank I see the coolant is green.  Is green correct? I thought is was supposed to be blue? Of course I haven’t messed with anything coolant related in quite some time, so I could be wrong.  Right now I’m going to pause and watch the Blue Angels get some practice in for their airshow tomorrow over at the Air Force Base.

The clowns at Autohaus AZ have them, an OEM MB for $188, but they won’t allow me to pick it up, it has to be shipped. $13 and 8-14 days. Dummy boo-boo heads. Several other places have the MB tanks, but shipping everywhere seems to be in the almost two week window and I will need to be able to use this before then. Of course the three stealers in Phoenix have them (from Cali in two days), two places charging $248, one knucklehead charging $368. Charlatans. MB Laredo has one at a good price, but est. delivery April 1.   Mr. Flaparoonie has a Dorman Coolant Recovery Tank for $81. Does anyone have any experience with this Dorman brand? I typically balk at aftermarket anything when it come to the cooling system out here in hell. What do y’all think?   And North Scottsdale MB just returned my call saying they have one I can come fetch for $329. “I can’t believe they are charging this much for a part on an old car. You think it’d be cheap cause they’s wanna git rid of it.” Dolt.   AZBob   Sent from Mail for Windows   _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
