Interestingly, because of the 25 year old clause, my rusting-to-pieces W115

not because of better than 18 mpg fuel economy...unless the EPA says different.

loping slightly at idle is almost certainly (esp. if at HOT idle, like after
coming off the highway) the rack damper bolt.
Hard start could be a bad glow plug or, more likely, the valves need to be
adjusted.

I have another one (bit different 100-826-52-52) as well.

That would be great. I would have had to have paid someone put it on DVD as I

Between this video and another I ordered and the manuals - factory and ATSG and
another one - I think learning this is not impossible...even if I have to
attempt it several times.
Looked on CL in KC today for a trans tech advertising on the side - I found one
that looks good. I am going to call
Harry,
That would be great!. Please send to:

If you go to the page above and read the second post, you'll see that "Hit Man

Kaleb would probably like to have all of us haul cars to his back yard! I'm not
sure how long they would stay there though!

No I don't - and you live outside of town and I'm in the city...but if you add
the concrete dealership and Charlie's place, we have a ton of room. But I
really don't want as many cars as you have, I just need to be able to go after
a few here and there that have shot trannys...of course I have t

But I am not sure which one to get. Plan on an 18 foot trailer and hauling 116,
Thanks for explaining that. Now I can see why it's not enough to move the car
back on the trailer till the trailer doesn't put much weight on the
