Around here, if you buy a gun at a gun store or whatever, you have to fill out this deal and answer some questions, they call a phone number and find out if you are approved or not. The gun is then tranferred to you. If you buy from an individual, most of the time its just a cash deal and thats it. Its possible the seller will want to go to a gun dealer and have the paperwork filled out to transfer the gun to you. Gary Hurst wrote: well, i've never lost a gun before, so i really wasn't sure what the standard procedure is. it wasn't loaded so some kid would have trouble shooting someone with it. it has no magazine either. granted, all of that could be simply remedied but it would make it less likely that some kid would kill someone with it. more likely, i'd think, it was sold to criminals on the cheap if it was taken. these weapons are relatively easy to acquire in the state of georgia. anyone can go to any gun show and buy one. I bought mine in a parking lot of a crowded publix supermarket on a saturday afternoon from a gun nut with a van full of assault rifles. this transaction took place in plain site of not only shoppers, but also a police cruiser on patrol. Buying an AK-47 is no big deal here. as for hte urgency of the situation, if hte gun is not actually out of my possession, no one can be killed by it. and if it is out of my possession, searching would not bring it back and prevent its use in a violent crime. I cannot help the situation much as my failure is not a present one, but the past failure of losing my weapon. As I have never been in this position before, I was asking more out of an interest in what protocol would be. my trunk was locked. i never have a firearm out of my immediate possession that is not locked. it is simply gone and i don't yet know how. right now i'm mostly trying to locate the serial number so i can report it missing. i'm not sure my attitude is all that oh well.'' I am profoundly upset by this. It's a disgrace to have your firearm disappear on you and a serious breach of a shooter's unwritten code. losing your firearm is terrible thing the likes of which i never thought would happen to someone like me. I don't believe anyone will be killed or injured on account of this and, even if there is a risk of this happening, i don't believe that getting hysterical can do anything but further erode the situation. -- Kaleb C.

[MBZ] cold day reflections on owning a diesel
It has happened every winter since I bought my '77 240D. Today it happened again. I jumped into the car at work to make a grocery run for a planned supper (Mexican Lasagna, by the way), pre-glowed, pre-glow light no longer illuminated, turned the key, and heard a slow -- painfully slow -- crank of the engine then silence. How could this happen? I'd taken five quick one-mile trips in the car today in single digit temps [that is a giant hint?]. Anyway, when I walked back into the office, our admin assistant said, That was a quick trip. I admitted that once again my diesel wouldn't start. She asked me the penultimate question: If it is this much a pain in the ass, why do you INSIST (she is married, so has the language and tone down pat) on driving a diesel? I had several answers for her: 1. I am stupid, I knew a month ago that I needed to add water to the battery but didn't. 2. A little birdie told me to put the Benz onto the battery charger last night, but I blew it off. 3. I am an idiot. 4. Why do YOU drive a minivan? Fortunately, our operations manager was standing there (he is a typical Iowa farmer about my age, a former 'Nam Green Beret who is able to take off one of his legs at will to shine it up after being introduced to Mister Landmine) and gave a better reply than I could muster in my moment of frustration. Nick said: Maybe because it will last forever -- 500,000 miles easy. Denise (admin assistant) asked me, Tell me again, what year is your car? I told her it was a 1977 model. She swallowed then said, Gosh, it is the same age I am. I rest my case! I told Denise that I am hoping this is the last car I have to buy for ME. I am 52 and I expect that, with good maintenance and my current pace of low annual miles and perhaps a sacrifice to the rust Gods, this diesel will still be on the road when the state tells me I am too old to drive any longer. I threw out a figure of 25 years, and Denise said, Gawd, I will be about YOUR age then! Oh -- I just put about 2 cups of water into the Interstate MegaMother battery and hooked up the battery charger. I'm sure the alternator is working fine, because after about 15 minutes if driving and letting it idle while I was in the store getting supper, it cranked right up. Only drawing 7 amps on the charger, so I think the drive helped with the resurrection. By the way, I when I couldn't get my jumper cables to work on my wife's car (damn'd side battery terminals buried under the windshield washer reservoir) I walked across the street and borrowed a hot pack from the car repair place. Slapped that on and the old Benz fired right up. I will need to search eBay for a good deal one of those ES5000 [I forget the rest of the name].

Re: [MBZ] Fuel Mileage of a Suburban with 6.2 6.5 Diesel
The 6.5 has more power, its turbo. You can find out the axle ratio by looking up the RPO codes that would be on a sticker in the glove box. http://www.angelfire.com/ny2/96transam/rpocodes.html Kayoooh wrote: Message: 14 Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2005 11:49:02 -0600 From: Kaleb C.

[MBZ] R class question
So I have seen a couple of new R class vehicles around, look pretty cool. They look like they might become the new vehicle of choice for the neighborhood bottle-blonde soccer mommies with cell phones moving up from those little Lexi SUV things. That aside, it got me thinking that with the new R insignia, I could probably buy one to stick on the TD, make it a TDR and it would then go faster, like all the shibox slammed ricers I see around that have been upgraded with McParts vinyl R stickers. 3.5 questions: Does Rusty sell them (and how much)? Will they be the same font/size as the TD letters? Do they come in red or would I have to paint it myself? --R

That said, you usually pull the instrument pod out to access the light switch. Requires removing the steering wheel first. The column switch may require removing the kick panel to unplug it, if it should come to need replacing. If the parking or fog lights work then the light switch is getting power.

Re: [MBZ] cold day reflections on owning a diesel
I saw one (a Yugo) about a month/ 6wk ago spewing through a mall parking lot, it was rust brown (the actual paint color) showing some good thinking-ahead on the manufacturer's part. The driver looked somewhat counter-culture, would probably have appreciated the punkin-orange Brunnhilde spewing popcorn oil diesel exhaust had he seen us. It was scrofulous enough that I thought about chasing him down to talk to him, but we were sorta going the opposite directions. I just had a thought -- would hemp oil burned in the diesel give an exhaust smell like, um, herbal remedies? --R Christopher McCann wrote: Unlike the Ford Festiva (i owned one for a while - great little car)- I haven't seen a Yugo in years - are there any left?

That said, you usually pull the instrument pod out to access the light switch. Requires removing the steering wheel first. The column switch may require removing the kick panel to unplug it, if it should come to need replacing. If the parking or fog lights work then the light switch is getting power.

Cycle the hazard button a bunch of times, indicators show blinks, but the stalk does not work. Dead, no engage for blinks left or right. Finally come to park, no blinks with key in on position.

I jumped into the car at work to make a grocery run for a planned supper (Mexican Lasagna, by the way), pre-glowed, pre-glow light no longer illuminated, turned the key, and heard a slow -- painfully slow -- crank of the engine then silence. How could this happen? I'd taken five quick one-mile trips in the car today in single digit temps [that is a giant hint?]. Anyway, when I walked back into the office, our admin assistant said, That was a quick trip. I admitted that once again my diesel wouldn't start. She asked me the penultimate question: If it is this much a pain in the ass, why do you INSIST (she is married, so has the language and tone down pat) on driving a diesel? I had several answers for her: 1. I am stupid, I knew a month ago that I needed to add water to the battery but didn't. 2. A little birdie told me to put the Benz onto the battery charger last night, but I blew it off. 3. I am an idiot. 4. Why do YOU drive a minivan? Fortunately, our operations manager was standing there (he is a typical Iowa farmer about my age, a former 'Nam Green Beret who is able to take off one of his legs at will to shine it up after being introduced to Mister Landmine) and gave a better reply than I could muster in my moment of frustration. Nick said: Maybe because it will last forever -- 500,000 miles easy. Denise (admin assistant) asked me, Tell me again, what year is your car? I told her it was a 1977 model. She swallowed then said, Gosh, it is the same age I am. I rest my case! I told Denise that I am hoping this is the last car I have to buy for ME. I am 52 and I expect that, with good maintenance and my current pace of low annual miles and perhaps a sacrifice to the rust Gods, this diesel will still be on the road when the state tells me I am too old to drive any longer. I threw out a figure of 25 years, and Denise said, Gawd, I will be about YOUR age then! Oh -- I just put about 2 cups of water into the Interstate MegaMother battery and hooked up the battery charger. I'm sure the alternator is working fine, because after about 15 minutes if driving and letting it idle while I was in the store getting supper, it cranked right up. Only drawing 7 amps on the charger, so I think the drive helped with the resurrection. By the way, I when I couldn't get my jumper cables to work on my wife's car (damn'd side battery terminals buried under the windshield washer reservoir) I walked across the street and borrowed a hot pack from the car repair place. Slapped that on and the old Benz fired right up. I will need to search eBay for a good deal one of those ES5000 [I forget the rest of the name].

Dave, I know I'm jumping into this topic a bit late. From what I see, the KMAC bushings replace the inner bushing on the big spring link and the bushing on the rear tie rod, correct? So to decrease negative camber, adjustment of the eccentric bolts would pull the inner part of the rear wheel *closer* to the car, wheras the Speedtek adjustable camber arms push the top of the wheel *outward*? Do the KMAC eccentric bolts for the tie rod offer a bigger range of adjustment compared to the stock tie rod eccentrics? -Aaron 1987 300D 1987 300TD

He bought them a dark gray Ford Grenada and all were happy again. He didn't have to let the kids drive the 'Cuda, and they didn't have to drive an almost 20 year old car.

[MBZ] OT: Words , scrofulous
Well, it actually refers to a specific medical condition, but there is another sense of the word that describes something beyond ugly, of the pus-oozing, smelly, visually offensive, nasty, lumpy sort -- kinda like that thing in Men In Black that was trying to walk around and drive disguised as a human. It seems a fitting description for the Yugo I observed, and some old Benzes I have sadly seen, though they seem to retain some dignity even in that condition. Not sure that this is a well-defined definition, but I have heard the word in this context, and like its feeling as you say it, and the image it conjures up even if you have no idea what it means. In short, it is a really good word. My wife introduces me to new medical terms occasionally, that have a similar ring to them and allude to similarly unpleasant conditions (the human body and behavior are capable of some truly gross achievements), but are so obscure or jargonistic as to be generally useless in conventional conversation. Around a bunch of doctors though you can really have some fun if you are into that sort of thing. Yiddish has some good words too, that when you hear them you just know what they mean, even if you know no Yiddish. German has some good ones too, Yiddish derives from German and Hebrew, getting the best words from both. http://www.wordsmith.org/words/scrofulous.html http://www.thefreedictionary.com/scrofulous --R Donald Snook wrote: Rich Thomas wrote: It was scrofulous enough that I thought about chasing him down to talk to him.

A while ago I found the front of the tranny leaking and added Lucas Transmission Fix. The leak stopped. Marshall told me that this will not work, and he was, AS ALL WAYS, correct. Three weeks later It's leaking again. I called around to MB indi's for estimates and got answers ranging from a firm $ 650 to let's start at $ 1,000, depending what we find. What is a decent price ? Any recommendations of a good shop at the West end of houston (mumble.. Tom, Rich)? -- Hans Neureiter, Houston, TX '82 300SD, '95 E300D
Re: [MBZ] Photos of K-Mac rear camber kit
Hi Aaron, Wow, I almost missed your post buried in the digest! Anyway, you are correct on all counts. To reduce negative camber, the bottom of the tire is pulled inward, same as AMG did on the original Hammer. The tie rod eccentrics must allow more adjustment but I don't know the specs. There's also a factory tie rod eccentric that allows more adjustment - it's buried in the EPC somewhere, the cost is quite high, and I don't know if it's any help without the camber adjustment anyway. :-) -- Dave M.

From what I see, the KMAC bushings replace the inner bushing on the big spring link and the bushing on the rear tie rod, correct? So to decrease negative camber, adjustment of the eccentric bolts would pull the inner part of the rear wheel *closer* to the car, wheras the Speedtek adjustable camber arms push the top of the wheel *outward*? Do the KMAC eccentric bolts for the tie rod offer a bigger range of adjustment compared to the stock tie rod eccentrics? -Aaron 1987 300D 1987 300TD
Re: [MBZ] temperature of w123 - thermostat
Good catch. I was thinking in terms of 100 F, which is obviously too low. 100C is too hot, and the cooling system flush and perhaps a new thermostat are in order. You can check the operation of the tstat in a can of water on the stove with a known good thermometer that can be immersed. Notice I said can and not wife 1.0's saucepan.

And is that really the gas tank sitting on top of the engine? Or is it that big square thing in back serving double duty as a bumper? Yikes! It can't serve as a bumper because the rear of the transaxle extends farther rearward. It also has at least one large-diameter hose connecting to its lower edge. I vote for radiator, particularly since the rear surface is a different color than the rest. The roundish black thing in front of and to the right of the black/grey box looks like a blower and looks to be ducted into the black/grey box. The black box near the top of the engine, next to the valve cover, appears to be a coolant reservoir. If the black/grey box is the radiator, with the connections at the bottom it must have been a real pain to get the air out. It's hard to tell what the rear suspension is, but swing axle seems likely, particularly with the placement of the spring and the link to the rear of the spring. Craig

Re: [MBZ] temperature of w123 - thermostat
I am trying to figure out what my temp gauge should read. It seems to be at about 100 when fully warmed up. Sometimes spiking to over 120 for a few minutes under heavy load. Thinking of replacing my thermostat since it is probably original to the car. Probably. But it _can_ be a bad sender too, and an independent check of the actual head temperature is a worthy second opinion. I've had both failures in my fleet. You also may need an acid flush, if deposits have reduced the thermal conductivity of the interior of the system. Potentially even a new radiator.

Chris andrew strasfogel wrote: Firm plans biodiesel plant By DUSTIN BLEIZEFFER Star-Tribune energy reporter Thursday, December 01, 2005 GILLETTE -- A Wyoming-based start-up company plans to build a 30 million-gallons-per-year biodiesel plant in Campbell County. It would be the first-ever biodiesel plant in the state and among the largest in the nation. It would also create a new opportunity for Wyoming farmers to grow camelina, canola, brown mustard and other oil seed crops. Wyoming Biodiesel Co., a subsidiary of Sheridan-based Energy Fuel Dynamics LLC, says it is working with a strategic partner to power the facility using waste steam. Construction could begin next spring, said business development manager Jim Kintz. Estimated cost to build the plant is from $35 million to $40 million. Once the plant was announced, people wanted to buy all of our production, Kintz said. Biodiesel is produced through a chemical process separating glycerin from fat or vegetable oil. The biodegradable, nontoxic fuel can be blended with petroleum-based diesel and used in almost any diesel engine with little or no modification, according to the National Biodiesel Board, a national trade association representing the industry. The biodiesel production process also generates a high-protein cattle feed by-product. Our goal is to maximize the use of Wyoming resources for feedstock, building state-of-the-art production refinement facilities, expanding employment opportunities statewide and consumption of the produced bio-fuels, Kintz said.

Re: [MBZ] Bought a 190D, now what?
I found a nice metric wrench on the streets of SF on my last trip there, but it didn't survive the scrutiny of our crackerjack TSA screeners. There was nothing pointy about it, nor was it big enough to do any serious damage. It ended up in the bin with all the grandmothers' tweezers and scissors.

He said that once the new security regulations were enacted and he had to stop locking his tool bag, he usually lost one tool per trip. The most popular item for sticky-figured TSA personnel to take seemed to be his Leatherman. I took Amtrak to pick up my last car. Train was 40 minutes late when it picked me up and it just got worse after that, but I knew where my tools were the whole time. ___ For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net

Re: [MBZ] OT Concealed Carry, was Global warming
Maybe Kaleb should start up a Guns n' Ammo listserv for all you he-man second amendment obsessives. I'm hoping he'll also start one up for those of us perpetually worried about third amendment abuses--ever vigilant am I.
