You might want to replace the close-up of the IP with a new once once the red-dyed tax-exempt fuel has worked it's way out of the system. Get rid of the green antifreeze ASAP. Do a citric acid flush or two to rinse out the crud. -Dave Walton On 5/15/07, John Robbins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What do you guys think? > > http://www.ece.msstate.edu/~jer99/mercedes/300td/ > > Everything seems to work... from the cruise to the A/C.

I send enough OT stuff as it is. BillR Jacksonville FL 1981 300SD, now worth $1,150 more to me with a new AC, vacuum lines, alternator, and some other stuff. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zoltan Finks Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2007 12:12 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: [MBZ] OT the Amish - was Pesky Sleazeballs - hey at least I labeledit OT Yes, as for some folks actually "being good", when you live by some sort of code of behavior - Amish, Buddhist, whatever, you usually wind up benefitting society. Unless your code is fundamentalist Islam, or Gangsta-Stop-Snitchin, or other systems that are fatally flawed. As Chris Elliot said on an episode of King of Queens "I think we can all agree that the Amish are pretty great." I used to deliver tractor trailer parts in southern PA. When I'd go up to the "Lankister" area, it sucked getting caught behind so many carts. Around here, on the frontage road to I-90, I sometimes see a guy standing on an open cart being pulled by two horses - the cart is dragging one large tractor tire. Didn't know if he was exercising the horses, or smoothing out the dirt road? We see an Amish dad and two boys at the farmer's market here in town. The thing that freaks me out is the hands on those little boys! They're like little shrunken down man hands! Freakish. So oversized and proportioned like an adult's. And rough and dirty looking - like they'd still look dirty even when washed. And are the Amish loosening their standards on not using technology? I see them more and more riding around in cars. I figure what the heck, there's a lot of OT on the list lately, and Rich seems to be the only one reading this.
