Yes.  But if it drops below 10 VDC it could be either a starter
drawing too much OR a weak battery.Measure the voltage drop
across the wire from battery to starter to determine which.

That was my Dad’s Chrysler Cordoba. Silver exterior, maroon Corinthian leather

What I have into the SL will never come back to me.  On a good year I invested 
$2k, a heavy year $4k.  It remains a #3 car, as it needs, but has not gotten 
two years of investments while I have been rotting away in GWN.  It has been 
given regular enough exercise, though not since WRD became active.

Need to sell it on to somebody who will keep her on the road once I am able to

Re: [MBZ] Question for Clay

[Clay via Mercedes]

Electric and NatGas are preferred methods of causing home heating in AK given 
the cost of transport and storage for personal use.  Most villages get one, 
maybe two barges of products each year.  You need to plan out your shopping 
list months in advance to make sure your annual supply of anything arrives.  Be 
it a truck, skidoo, clothing, books, dry goods, whatever.  #2 fuel does not 
flow well at -40, so is mostly consumed by commercial generators.

Fairbanks does use #2, as they have limited access to NatGas.  Electrons are 
born out of coal in the Borough for the most part (UAF and local power co.)  
The city is also on the Railbelt which just consolidated multiple geographic 
power produces to reduce tariff and barriers to finally have a transmission 
grid.  Railbelt follows from Whittier and Seward along the railroad to 
Fairbanks.  Six utilities that mostly are using Cook inlet NatGas and some 
renewables.

I do not know how the people in fly in cabins power up or heat.  Most likely 
some propane if they fly  in their own planes.

[MBZ] Tie Rod/Steering Rack Boot R - W163/ML500

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

The boot on the driver’s side of the steering rack on the ML500 is torn, so I 
want to replace it. I’ve got the MB kit along with a new tie rod.

It looks pretty straightforward, but I was wondering how much of a pig of a job 
it is to get the boot installed on the steering rack. And yes, I know I’ll need 
to get it aligned when I’m done. I’ll count turns/threads during removal and 
get close, then it’s a quick 3 mile drive to my front end guys.

Anyone BTDT?

Thanks,

Re: [MBZ] FW: CLASSIC, COLICTIBLE, 1966 MERCEDES BENZ 200D, 66K MILES, CLEAN TITLE, C

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

There’s a guy over by Orlando who had been listing a 1967 200 for sale at $12k, 
later $9k on CL. Bone stock, all original, looked to be pretty solid. I tried 
to talk to him a couple of times and make a case for what it was really worth 
(maybe $5k, a little more depending on condition and provenance) and he 
wouldn’t have it. Basically told me I was pulling numbers out of my rear 
despite me giving him a bunch of comps that were recent sales, etc., etc. but 
couldn’t justify his number with anything of substance.

It finally went away after three months on CL. Maybe he found that one person 
who wanted one and was willing to pay his price, maybe it sits in the garage 
still. I made the effort and tried to be as gracious as possible throughout our 
interactions, but he just ended up being a total douche, sadly.

I think people have unrealistic expectations more often than not, mainly 
because they let emotion get into the equation. This car had been around him 
for some years so he was seriously attached to it. Sometimes that can work in 
your favor, as it did in the case of the Finnie Bob helped me buy in Tucson. I 
played the “I’m a good person and will treat your car as well or better than 
you did” card, which not only cinched the sale but got it at a much lower price 
because I wasn’t “some asshole” that would do terrible things to the car. And I 
did what I said I would do, and the owner was very happy.

Heh. The seller still doesn’t understand that it’s been sold and sent to 
Germany. I tried telling her and she just didn’t get it. I gave up trying, as 
did her son in law who managed the sale.

Re: [MBZ] FW: CLASSIC, COLICTIBLE, 1966 MERCEDES BENZ 200D, 66K MILES, CLEAN TITLE, C

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

$5k, maybe. The exterior looks pretty solid. Bumpers are a mess, but that’s not 
uncommon.

The interior scares me. Dash wood is shot, dash pad is shot as well. What’s 
weird is that normally the dash pad would be bad (cracked) but the wood decent, 
or at least maybe a little bleached out. I have no idea what’s happened to that 
dash wood.

Window rubber is all shot, typical for an unmolested example.

I can’t tell for sure, but it almost looks like there are masking lines around 
the rear window trim, meaning a repaint. Not a bad thing, necessarily, but can 
hide a lot of flaws. The trailing edge of the roof above the rear window looks 
weird, like there might be rust. Could be the picture, too.

Where is the passenger side armrest and window crank? What’s the undercarriage 
look like?

It’s the bottom of the line W110, which makes it worth even less.

There’s a reason why it’s been on the market for a year. The market is telling 
the seller it’s not worth their ask.

[MBZ] FW: CLASSIC, COLICTIBLE, 1966 MERCEDES BENZ 200D, 66K MILES, CLEAN TITLE, C

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

I know we’ve touched on this one before, but you can’t beat a good “Heckfluss” 
powered by a four “cylender” diesel.

What do youz reckon a more fair price for this is? This guy has not budged on 
the price in over a year.

"it might need a little paint job on the hood and roof, we can negotiate on 
that.”

Uh, yeah.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: OT truck battery

[G Mann via Mercedes]

A FLAPS load tester does exactly that, by pressing a button it loads the
battery through a loaded heat sink device and measures battery "reserve
under load" on the meter...
I have one from Harbor Fright that works fine.. low cost, but handy to have
handy..
