To visualize Dutch Roll, visualize driving your MBZ inside a big pipe,
straight and level along the bottom.. Now push the steering wheel a little
left (or right) and let go. The car will climb the left side (or right) of
the pipe (experiencing yaw roll angle) until the car steers itself back to
I'd check the other end of the thermostat cable where it attaches to the
control board in the furnace. I did recently encounter a case with a high
efficiency (condensing) gas furnace where a pressure sensor was out of
tolerance; that fan would not run, even jumping red-green at the control
board,
Anyone know much about thermostat wiring?
I got a new furnace last winter. Gas heat, with central AC. Heat and AC work
fine. I wanted to use the "FAN" mode the other day and it does not work. There
is a switch marked FAN / AUTO and with FAN selected the blower fan is supposed
to be running but
Sorry, my typo in subject line. Yes E350.

Cheap CV axles are about $130 at Rockauto.
But do you want to buy a Mercedes from somebody who drove it into the
ground and then didn't want to pay for a $400 repair?

I have only been close to getting airsick once, I was on some regional jet

the same time (is this "dutch roll"?). It was slight, but persistent, and

Living in FL I found that UV can kill a set of tires in just a few years.
Michelins were especially susceptible to this, which I experienced and later
had confirmed by a tire guy who used to be a Michelin field rep. My cars are
garaged, so it's not an issue, but if you park you car outside here
P3 Orion is the military version of the Lockheed Electra II, and the C-130
Hercules is the high wing version (different fuselage, essentially the same
wing).
It was designed as the "first class service" airplane when jets were not
reliable enough for passenger plane use, I think around 1952.
I do believe P3s are still in active duty. They were 10-15 years ago, I know. I
used to see them all the time in AK and the Aleutians, as they were used for
sub tracking in the north Pacific.

Do the tires sit outside or in a garage? My 2013 F150 has the original

The P3 Orion is based on the Lockheed L-188 Electra, I think they are still on
duty? I don't know if that's older than the 707 but gotta be close.

My personal experience with the KC135 ended in 1982. At that time they all
still had the original engines.
Dutch roll damping was terrible at approach speeds and there was no yaw damper
(unlike 707s) but you could use the autopilot yaw channel momentarily to kill
the roll oscillation (not
If you have a mechanics stethoscope, use it to more clearly find the exact
location of the noise. Place the probe on various locations at the engine
accessories and you can hear the noise source.

Having heard the engine running, I would pull the valve cover and check to
see if a valve adjuster didn't get locked down and backed out enough to
clack hard. The rhythm of the clack suggests to me it is a valve train
related noise... if not an adjuster, then, dig further to other things.

Amazing. Domesticated mooses.
While that looks cool, I'm not keen about being around a wild animal that's
bigger than me. Like Sherlock Holmes said (in the movie) about horses:

Worked fine for me.
You just take the cover off and the little "cap" that closes off the vent lifts
off. I've had them on short runs where the dryer was on the exterior wall and
one that was proabbly six feet long with the dryer on an interior wall. They
are really great in cold climates
How does that work for lint cleaning? I have a 20 ft of metal duct from the
dryer to the outside and run a Lint Eater through it periodically.
