 It depends on when the motor mounts were last replaced, if you know. This
 is really delayed maintenance, as most are driven till they fail, rether
 than being replaced when they should be.
 If you can find a used MB that has been properly maintained, it can be a
 cheap Mercedes. If you buy one that has been run into the ground at a
 bargain price, and you want it to be up to snuff, you will find that
 there is no such thing as a cheap Mercedes. If you are willing to just
 keep it running without worrying about everything being correct and are
 willing to endure occasional break downs, then yes, you can have a cheap
 Mercedes.
 
 You make your choices and pay the prices - TANSTAAFL.
 
 The same thing applies to old Cessnas (don't ask how I know), but the
 consequences of an occasional breakdown are significantly different!

 On a car that is in excess of 30 years old, you can almost bet that a lot of 
 the undercarriage rubber bits are original or weren't changed in recent 
 history.  Now granted, my knowledge is a bit dated, but the cost of the parts 
 involved isn't significant, nor is their replacement.  Putting new pieces in 
 will make a big difference in how the car sounds, rides and runs, without 
 exception.  Some parts, such as the differential mount, can even have a major 
 effect on the handling and ultimately the safety of the car under certain 
 conditions.
 
 Here are some parts prices from the Q based on a 1983 300SD (W126):
 
 Motor mount  - $26/ea for Lemforders (the best)
 Transmission mount - $23
 Differential mount - $75
 
 OK, so there is about $150 for these parts.  Amortize that over the life of 
 the car, even for the miles only you have put on it, and it's cheap.  And I 
 can assure you that if these pieces are even half worn, you'll still see a 
 noticeable improvement in the car in a number of areas.
 
 And I'm not being obsessive about this - it just makes sense to do it if 
 you're going to be in the neighborhood, so to speak.

 Mike, 
 
 Crawling under the car highlights all the over engineering that allows our 
 cars to run like tops.  Sadly, there is a bunch of shoe horning going on and 
 you end up taking all sort of things off and then replace the wear items so 
 you can do the job right.
 
 I learned about the flex disk/motor mount relationship at our local section 
 tech session this weekend.  I had never thought about the motor and 
 transmission angle change/drop impacting the driveshaft angles and creating 
 more trouble for the disk.  Makes sense though.
 
 Taking the whole car apart was another item, since three of the cars on the 
 rack had disk issues.  Gump was stone simple and doing a disk swap was not a 
 problem.  Wide open and nothing in the way.  Froggy has the dang exhaust 
 impinging on the driveshaft, the newer cars have all sorts of pipes, tubes, 
 hoses and stuff routed all over.  To get into the drive shaft, you have to 
 take the underside of the car apart.  Might as well hit the wear items while 
 you have it open instead of paying for it down the road.  Labor is done now, 
 just parts.  Next time labor cost gets tossed in.
 
 The water pump in Frosch is weeping.  Stealer quotes $2500 for the job.  
 Indy wants $900.  I might be able to find time on BiL shop schedule to cut 
 that by a goodly amount.  I already paid indy to swap in a thermostat.  
 Should have done the dang pump then, replaced the old hoses and tossed on 
 new belts.  One of the while you are in there solutions.

Actually, I think its a pretty reasonable set of questions, but yes, I was
being somewhat sarcastic.

If you found something out about this new parts supplier, it might be
useful for the whole list to know.  Good parts people are hard to come by,

The usual headline stories come up quick - ds put up one story.  Looks
like the guy is from Sterling, IL?  I agree - what is his expertise?
Is he merely brokering the biz?  Yo, Trent - welcome, and speak up.
Tell us about yourself other than you are happy to do biz with us.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

A search on the internet for Trent Fiorini brings up a guy in IL who works
for a flooring business, along with other members of his family.  Is this
our man?  I wouldn't think so, as a well run local floor business could do
much better than a single guy trying to sell car parts on the internet.
 With big guys like autohausaz out there cornering the market with cheap
chinese parts, it seems like a very bad time to get into the parts business
as a new guy.

This is just my opinion, of course.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning


I will be on the lists. I am starting a new sales office for WorldPac, at their 
Atlanta warehouse. I am going back to my original roots of selling to 
independent garages. I did this for 20 years before buyMBparts. It is a lot of 
fun as well. I am blessed to have had jobs that are really not work but a 
pleasure.
The added bonus is 3 times the money AND paid benefits!

Look I am all for giving the guy a change, but at this point Rusty 
is out of the game so he has nothing to lose, I may try him but 
from what I have heard, Autohausaz has great customer service and 
very good prices.  I have always bought from Rusty out of loyalty 
but now that he is gone, I will most likely be buying from 
Autohaus.  Sorry Trent.

turns out to be made in China.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

I see a lot of people on other forums touting Autohaus, but based on the prices 
they are quoting, much of it is the Chinese URO brand crap.

When the prices are half of what other suppliers are quoting, you have to ask 
yourself what could be so different that accounts for something costing so much 
less?

[MBZ] Chavez's heir: from bus driver to president-in-waiting


(Condensed)
The 50-year-old Maduro was appointed vice president only in October of 2012,
after Chavez's successful re-election bid. But with his bushy, dark
mustache, Maduro has made a name for himself at home as one of the most
visible faces of the ruling PSUV party and in diplomatic circles as
Venezuela's foreign minister since 2006.

Despite his devotion to Chavez, analysts view Maduro as an ideological
moderate within the PSUV, and say he has keen negotiating skills that have
been honed by the work involved in keeping Chavez's varied constituencies
united over the years.

New elections could be a fresh opportunity for opposition leader Henrique
Capriles, who is currently bidding to return as Miranda state governor after
losing to Chavez in the presidential vote. Capriles was soundly defeated in
October but claimed the fractured opposition's best score in a presidential
election since Chavez rose to power.

[MBZ] Coast to Coast on 2 gallons of gas

The winter 2012 issue of Tractor Supply magazine, Out Here, has an article 
about an MTSU ag professor who drove coast to coast on a little over 2 
gallons of gasoline using hydrogen from water and solar as the basic fuels. 
Popular media stories describe his trip but don't give as much detail:


MTSU professor drives coast to coast on 2 gallons of fuel
A Middle Tennessee State University professor who hoped to drive from the 
east to west coast on just 10 gallons of gasoline drove the distance using 
only about two gallons.
Dr. Cliff Ricketts and his eight-member team drove from Tybee Island, 
Georgia to Long Beach, California using 2.15 gallons of gasoline.

The distance was about 2,500 miles.
The team converted a 1994 Toyota Tercel and 2005 and 2007 Toyota Prii to use 
solar, electric, ethanol and hydrogen fuel in addition to gasoline to make 
the trip.
The team arrived in Long Beach around 1:15 p.m. local time Thursday, more 
than one hour earlier than they expected.
I feel like I climbed Mt. Everest, said Ricketts, who lives outside Mt. 
Juliet in Wilson County and commutes to MTSU.  This has significance in 
life and it has significance for mankind.
Ricketts said he's planning a similar coast-to-coast trip in 2013 on only 
sun and water.


 http://www.wkrn.com/story/17119972/mtsu-professor-drives-coast-to-coast


A group of MTSU students and their professor could be making history this 
month.

They plan to drive across the country without using an ounce of gasoline.
Instead, their fuel comes right out of the faucet.
It is a car powered by hydrogen gas, and the hydrogen comes out of the water 
we drink.

We actually start with water, says MTSU Professor Dr. Cliff Ricketts.
It is basic H2O, and part of it makes the perfect fuel.
The fuel in our vehicle is a hydrogen gas, pressurized gas, says Dr. 
Ricketts.
Dr. Cliff Ricketts specializes in alternative fuels at MTSU. On March 9th he 
and his students will begin a coast to coast drive using no gas.
Using a process called electrolysis, Ricketts and his students separate the 
hydrogen from water.

The gas is then kept in a pressurized tank and used as fuel.
Putting a man on the moon or going from coast to coast on sun and water, 
which has the most impact to mankind? I believe this does, says Dr. 
Ricketts.
Dr. Ricketts is even conscious about the power he is using to produce the 
hydrogen gas.  The process is completely fueled by solar power.
This is actually a second attempt. Last year Ricketts and his team traveled 
across the country using only two gallons of gas.

The goal this time is to use absolutely none.
They will carry extra hydrogen with them.
Ricketts hopes to prove that America's vehicles can be energy independent 
and pollution free.
It's knowing that you're making a difference to mankind, and that the 
research you're doing actually helps everybody, says Ricketts.
The car is all fueled up. The drive begins in just about a week, but it 
could have implications for years to come.
Dr. Ricketts and his team will start their trip on Tybee Island in Georgia, 
and conclude it five days later in Long Beach, California.

The trip coincides with MTSU's spring break.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

I've been buying Mercedes parts for about about 40 years.  Of all the 
sellers, my experience with Rusty has been the best; both in terms of parts 
quality, service, and the fact that you can talk to somebody who isn't just 
watching the clock and putting in time.  The new guy may not know as much 
about Mercedes cars, parts, etc.; but then neither did any of the other 
sellers I've dealt with.
I'll give him a chance to learn if he pretty much continues Rustys way of 
doing business.  Good luck, Trent.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

Thats a good point, Kaleb... Gary is a good choice here. One thing he does
better than anyone else: hes good at figuring out what parts are quality,
and which are Chinese junk. This is changing frequently and isn't obvious
as it once was. He actually cares about it. I buy lots of stuff from my
local dealer, but everything else comes from Gary.

[MBZ] Mercedes Star Diagnostic rental?

2013-03-06 Thread Benz Hogs

How many people would be interested in renting the SDS tool.  I'm 
considering purchasing one.  I would arrange some type of Redbox/Netflix 
type shipping system.

Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Star Diagnostic rental?

Dude that would not be very practical. That system is a pain in the ass to use 
and I would not think it would work long shipping it all over the place. It's 
not something that you just plug in and go, seems like you have to jack with it 
to get it to work everytime you go to use it.

2013-03-06 Thread Rolf

Part of me died reading the announcement. No other parts guy has ever been as 
understanding and reliable (that might go both ways) as Rusty.

A little known secret about Rusty is his milk box. Often I have been unable to 
get to him during the week for parts and often have I grabbed one or all of my 
kids on the weekend to go see Rusty. I will miss that milk box. I will make 
it the stuff of legends.

Damnit, where are my hankies.

[MBZ] 1995 W124 E320 Headlight High Beams

2013-03-06 Thread Craig

I noticed recently that when I have the headlights on and push the stalk
of the multi-function switch forward, the high beams do not come on.
(Pretty disconcerting on the highway when everything suddenly goes black.)

If I pull the stalk backwards to flash the high beams in addition to
the low beams, they do come on.

Am I looking at a fuse problem, a multi-function switch problem, or
something else?

It would be nice to have high beams when we drive to Phoenix next week
for my surgery.

And that was one of the value adds that Rusty brought to the table -
steering us away from the crap. Also his deep knowledge of which parts
which MB uses and the ability to find the part you need with just a verbal
description over the phone. He will be missed.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

I see a lot of people on other forums touting Autohaus, but based on 
the prices they are quoting, much of it is the Chinese URO brand 
crap.


When the prices are half of what other suppliers are quoting, you 
have to ask yourself what could be so different that accounts for 
something costing so much less?

(one of) the great things about Q is that he could supply chinee crap 
if you want it, OEM stuff, if you wanted, or OE if that's what you 
want,  and some times quality third party parts, if that's what fills 
the need, all at competitive prices, and with a smile and a gawga 
drawl.  And an occasional BBQ.


GIGO still holds.  If you want chinee crap, why bother with AZ?  just 
buy it on fleabay or crockauto.  Or if you want to be abused by an 
angry fatman, go fer it.

You mean MERCEDES parts... I have a buddy looking for an aircraft to restore. 
You NEED parts. The C182A in your signature says it all. :-)

 How many people would be interested in renting the SDS tool.  I'm 
 considering purchasing one.  I would arrange some type of Redbox/Netflix 
 type shipping system.

Re: [MBZ] In mourning

My vote is that Q will lobby the new employer to be our corporate 
sponsor, and as such, the corp. sponsor will provide us with free car 
parts for us to review and then provide how to writeups which they 
can post on their website after our group does peer reviews to insure 
accuracy.  We then become the corporate poster children for their 
parts.  Some of us will become media celebs...


As part of this program, the Corp Sponsor will fly us all to GA (or 
someplace better) once a year for Q and an annual meeting where 
they tell us what's new and we tell em what works.


Their calendar will have 12-14 pictures of our cars in high res., 
with or without scantily clad girls.  from pristine cars to working 
Rusty but Trusty cars.   The message is buy our parts and save money 
by not having outrageous car payments.  be a 'merkin rugged 
individual







(angry fatmen not allowed.  Offer void outside the continental USA. 
(the usual disclaimers))




So now you can afford a much bigger/better Rusty-Q, and have it 
hosted at a garage with lifts so we can tinker with cars while 
eating and drinking?

Re: [MBZ] 1995 W124 E320 Headlight High Beams

Switch.  Cathey recommends contact cleaner.  I personally have never 
tried that.



I noticed recently that when I have the headlights on and push the stalk
of the multi-function switch forward, the high beams do not come on.
(Pretty disconcerting on the highway when everything suddenly goes black.)

If I pull the stalk backwards to flash the high beams in addition to
the low beams, they do come on.

Am I looking at a fuse problem, a multi-function switch problem, or
something else?

It would be nice to have high beams when we drive to Phoenix next week
for my surgery.
