Re: [MBZ] Holy heck...
BTW, I got a Harbor Freight flyer the other day and saw something interesting. They have a hex bit set for $12.99. 3/8 drive 4-8mm + 10mm, 1/2 drive 12,14,17mm. It's like buying the Autozone 12-14-17 set and getting a 3/8 drive set for free.

Re: [MBZ] I just returned from a car deal gone sour
88 300E. Looks pretty nice actually except it doesnt run? The little weasel who sold me the car said he just had the tranny rebuilt, with a new flywheel or something and a bolt got dropped in the engine and locked it up. I am wondering if a bolt came loose at the back when the tranny install was done. Didnt get much time to ask the guy if he drove it at all after the tranny install since he was in a big hurry to get out of there. Kevin Kraly wrote: What model is it?

Striplin Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2008 9:59 PM To: Banned List; mercedes Mailing List Subject: [MBZ] I just returned from a car deal gone sour So there is this car in OKC on craigslist. I email the guy a few times, then tell him I can come Saturday (today) to pick it up. He first wants to meet me before 8am. I tell him that is too early since I have a 2 hour drive. He then wants me to meet him at 6pm. I didnt really want to be loading a car in the dark but OK. So he wants me to meet him at the mcdonalds right off the turnpike. He shows up about 15 minutes late and I follow him over to a nearby RV park where the car is. So he give me the title, I give him the cash. He asks if I need his help loading the car and I say no, I dont. So he takes off. Ok, so I get the car loaded and about the time Im getting ready to leave this pickup truck full of rednecks comes flying up. They guy gets out yelling that I am stealing the car etc. I try to explain to him that I have the car on my trailer, keys to the car, and a clear title signed off by the owner. He says the guy(who I bought it off of) owes him 3k and he has a lien on the car. I tell him to produce said lien. He cant. Turns out he is the owner of the RV park. Anyway, so I call the cops and they finally show up. I explain the situation to the officer and show him the title etc. He starts to give me some crap saying I dont own the car because its not in my name. I tell him that is correct because I just bought the car and I have the title right here. I would not have had time to get a title. Anyway, the cop says hes going to have to call into his supervisor to see what to do. The rv park guy asks the cop something and the cop tells him I have a title so I am the owner unless he can come up with a lien or something. By this time the guy knows he cant do anything to he starts backing down and asks me if he could make a copy of the title so he can try and go after the guy. I told him I would help him out anyway I could and he even had a couple of MB's he needs parts for. So turned out OK. I would have been screwed if it was one of those deals where there was no title for the car. Never again will I meet somebody after dark like that, then let them leave before I do. -- Kaleb C.

There's no way to tell for sure. When I was two, I got an early sample of the Sabin live culture polio vaccine. I got stomach flu and had some paralysis (mostly left leg) about a week later. I wasn't the only one who got sick after being immunized that day, but the neighbor's daughter (several years older than me) only had flu symptoms. OTOH, I'd already been vaccinated with the Salk stuff, so to get polio from the vaccine I'd have had to pick up no immunity from the Salk vaccine and then had the bad luck to get polio from the Sabin vaccine. I'm still very much against continued use of the Sabin vaccine, especially since even the CDC admits that the majority of the polio cases in the last 30 years are vaccine induced. There's not much natural poliomyelitis in the world today, and virtually none in the USA. I can't believe Thunderbird has 'poliomyelitis' in its spelling dictionary, but not 'Obama' or even 'Osama'.

[MBZ] 240D parking brake
The parking brake cable system on the 240D is fairly brilliant... After I realized I wasn't gonna finish the front brakes I started chasing my stuck cable which wasn't a cable at all its the pivot under the car. I sprayed it with Deep Creep and yanked the cables back and forth until the pivot moved freely, then coated everything that moved with axle grease. That should keep the water off it for awhile anyway. The parking brake seems to even work now the problem is that when it wasn't working I lifted the pedal a couple times and seem to have buggered the cable attachement a little. I've had the pedal out once already and its a b!tch because one nut is really hard to get at. I bought an air ratchet this morning in the hope that it'll make it easier to do that one nut (down under the fuse box where you can't reach). -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com 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://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Harry I have one of the four stroke 2000w models and I love it. It runs the sump pump and lights very well if the power goes out. It will start the fridge sometimes but it doesn't like it. Power is not very clean or steady. I wouldn't suggest one for running a pc as it makes terrible interference when i tried to run the tv. Works great for power tools too. Weighs maybe fifty pounds. Runs for FIVE hours on one gallon of gas. Mike Anyone have experience with these small units? I see them for ~$150, 2000 watt, both 2 and 4 stroke. I have a 4500 watt that handles the fridge, TV and lights. That's all I really need down here in the south.

[MBZ] IT LIVES!!!
Well I guess you knew it was alive but tonight I got all the brakes setup to my satisfaction, bled them and got new fluid through all the lines, got the parking brake set so it seems pretty good (the foot pedal still needs work) so I took him for a ride and got some fuel. The fuel tank vent is plugged, thats probably no surprise after sitting so much. The tires make noise, again no big shocker. The steering wheel is about 2 splines to the right, I'd taken it off when I did the dash pod last and forgot to mark it first. I think those questionable looking ball joints in the front are actually bad though I might have had a soft tire. Dwight gave me some studded snows that'll go on soon. The engine ran great, its hard to describe how different a 240D feels compared to a 190D though, the 190D is much more refined, as it should be. Clutch felt good, brakes felt great. One squeaked a bit but I'm sure that'll quiet down with some use. Came right up to temp and stayed there except when it heat soaked at the gas station. I remember it doing that before. I should replace the coolant, another thing on the list which had gotten shorter but now has extended again. For the first time ever Hammie has a proper 240D driver's carpet, its just a bit darker than the interior of the car, more brown than tan, but it looks a heck of a lot better than no carpet at all! -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com 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://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
[MBZ] Mac uptime
The power has failed here today, and the UPS was showing signs of distress so I had to power everything down. This Mac had been up continuously since 111 days before Oct 10, whatever that is. (Too lazy to do the math.) Still won't be 'up', since I'm running on the generator right now, and may end up shutting it down again this evening unless the power comes back on before then. I've generally been very pleased with the stability of this platform, old though it may be. (233 MHz G3, running 10.2.8, their last OS that supports this platform.) Though at times a bit sluggish, it has done everything I need it to do, including running Illustrator. If I would just pony up the $20 or so it'd take to give it more than its 384 MB of memory I'm sure it would run even better. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com 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://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

[MBZ] 190E wont upshift, update
If you all remember I have a 84 190D that had a bad trans. Installed a supposed good used trans out of a 2.6. The strange thing bout this trans is it has a strange fluid line assembly that runs from the cover of the back plate (governor?) to a solenoid with a single electrical connector, then to a port near the front of the tranny. EPC says this is for increased shift points. OK, so the trans goes right into forward, reverse etc but will not upshift. Previous discussions here figured it was either not building enough pressure or its something in the valve body. Well today I installed the valve body in the new trans that was in the old trans (only thing wrong with the old one is the b2 band broke). Same problem, will not upshift. I have tried it both with and without power applied to that solenoid thing. Have tried it with the kickdown unplugged and even with the control cable unhooked. So, my next thing I guess is that upshift line assembly thing. I guess I need to try and block it off and see what that does. I guess I will just remove the banjo bolts and installed regular bolts so it wont pass fluid. Anybody got any other ideas? -- Kaleb C.

Northern Tool had a little 12V windmill in today's paper for like $550, and some batteries, and some low amp PV panels.

The old dude had a hot daughter that the Raddicks monster tried to kill, but the strong dude who joined the little party saved her? That was one great flick! Then it rained clean rain, and the clean rain melted 3-horned Raddicks. Commies put down, Merka rises again, yea!!! My point is, somehow that dude kept electricity going the whole time, in the 50s, in the midst of a nuke war, wtihout windmills and PVs. Go figure. The old dude and the strong dude wore khaki clothes, very manly men. The hot daughter wore a dress and had her hair and makeup perfect, in the midst of a nuke war. When I first saw that movie I wanted to wear khaki clothes.

Re: [MBZ] OT Small home generators
Harry, I have no idea on the make..it looks like a honda engine clone. I bought mine at Grossman's bargain outlet on clearance for $138 with tax and all. It has really been a lifesaver, i can carry it anywhere, it is extremely quiet and starts easily. Set the choke and give it a couple pulls is all it takes.

[MBZ] New Calipers in
Just think of how many MB related posts I've put on in the last 3 days... The new Bendix reman calipers from Advance Auto are in. It occured to me I'm going to eat the core charge because I want the experience of rebuilding my ATEs... Anyway the calipers are actually really nice, new rubber and metal and I prefer the Bendix bleeders (3/8 incidentally). They've even got MB stars on them. The PBR pads mated up nicely. I bought a bottle of Permatex brake pad grease on Friday which is pretty terrific. Everything bolted up slick as snot. I did forget to put the sensor block back on one side so I've got to pull that wheel again but it'll be quick. Now on to the rears again.

It runs the sump pump and lights very well if the power goes out. It will start the fridge sometimes but it doesn't like it. Power is not very clean or steady. I wouldn't suggest one for running a pc as it makes terrible interference when i tried to run the tv. Works great for power tools too. Weighs maybe fifty pounds. Runs for FIVE hours on one gallon of gas. Mike Anyone have experience with these small units? I see them for ~$150, 2000 watt, both 2 and 4 stroke. I have a 4500 watt that handles the fridge, TV and lights. That's all I really need down here in the south.

Re: [MBZ] IT LIVES!!!
Congratulations Curt, enjoy. Harry Well I guess you knew it was alive but tonight I got all the brakes setup to my satisfaction, bled them and got new fluid through all the lines, got the parking brake set so it seems pretty good (the foot pedal still needs work) so I took him for a ride and got some fuel. The fuel tank vent is plugged, thats probably no surprise after sitting so much. The tires make noise, again no big shocker. The steering wheel is about 2 splines to the right, I'd taken it off when I did the dash pod last and forgot to mark it first. I think those questionable looking ball joints in the front are actually bad though I might have had a soft tire. Dwight gave me some studded snows that'll go on soon. The engine ran great, its hard to describe how different a 240D feels compared to a 190D though, the 190D is much more refined, as it should be. Clutch felt good, brakes felt great. One squeaked a bit but I'm sure that'll quiet down with some use. Came right up to temp and stayed there except when it heat soaked at the gas station. I remember it doing that before. I should replace the coolant, another thing on the list which had gotten shorter but now has extended again. For the first time ever Hammie has a proper 240D driver's carpet, its just a bit darker than the interior of the car, more brown than tan, but it looks a heck of a lot better than no carpet at all! -Curt ___ http://www.okiebenz.com 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://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
