Maybe?
Yes, I hear the same stuff, not from FOX.
How does a person find any reality (...maybe truth...?) when the major
info sources are either FOX or progressive?
I have zero tolerance for "science" climate change explanations, but I
don't think there is any path away from status quo even if I did
believe "science."
Neither side has proposals that fit the description "reasonable"
It is either more of the same, or, more of the same.

Re: [MBZ] [MB] do fuel filters ever fail out of the box or have a shelf life?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Interesting discussion on fuel filter swaps in the W220 forum at BW recently.  
Someone was talking about “shocking” the fuel pump after a filter change, due 
to there being air entrained in the fuel or a short period of time where the 
pump might run without any fuel, potentially damaging the pump in the process.

I’m putting this out there as a possibility, however, I don’t buy it.  Any more 
than I buy the concept of “fluid shock” that some claim can occur when you do a 
complete fluid change on an automatic transmission.

CentOS, the Community Enterprise Operating System, https://www.centos.org/

It's based on the open source files for Red Hat's Enterprise Linux
(https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux),
but is without charge instead of $349.


Craig

P.S. I'm running CentOS 5.11 on our laptop because it lacks the PAE (I
 think) BIOS features and won't boot standard CentOS 6 or 7. (I know
 there are ways around this, but I haven't explored them.)

Since this whole thing started when I replaced the fuel filter, I was

The $5500 one was sold several weeks ago and the seller hasn’t taken the ad

The $8000 one has been on the market in various iterations for almost a year.  
The guy thinks he’s got some sort of super rare car and wants stupid money for

Two months ago, the only green W140 (emerald, not black opal) on autotrader was
a S500 coupe. 
I think it's this one, after 2-3 months maybe it's time for them to talk price:
http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?zip=33601&showcaseOwnerId=64172483&listingId=389072580

Yes, read NCAA report, too.  I understand that Mary would not any more 
association with the bunch, but she was "done dirty" for doing what she knew

The official NCAA report.  Yes, Mary W.  I don't think she has any

nothing about any of the employees, including the players who are

Re: [MBZ] Blown fuse

[WILTON via Mercedes]

Thanks for the reminder.  In 36 years of driving MB's, I've never used 
"econ." mode and had forgotten it.


Meanwhile, yesterday afternoon, I unplugged switch at dryer (easy for me to 
reach), which kept compressor from operating.  'Ran control unit on HIGH fan 
speed for 10 min. or so with fuse holding, then plugged in wires at the 
dryer to allow compressor to run.  Compressor seemed a bit noisy and ran 
three or four minutes BLOWING ICE COLD until fuse blew.  I'll take it to my 
A/C guy 5 or 6 blocks away Monday to see what he can find.


BTW, not only can I not see the connection at the compressor, I can't reach 
it - couple more of those things I used to do so easily.

Use the "economy" mode on the climate control.  Works just like it  does 
in normal mode.


Or you can unplug the connection for the clutch at the compressor.

Re: [MBZ] Trump card Was: Chevrolet Colorado Diesel Promises Best-in-Class Towing, Torque

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

The ballot box will only work IF an American is on the ballot in 
place of the usual socilist vs maxist/comminist choices AND (as you 
pointed out) IF sorry as crew can't successfully stuff the ballot 
boxes as usual.


History repeats itself.  Those who are ignorant of history are doomed 
to repeat it.


Adolph Chamberlain has more tricks up his sleeve.  His namesake 
burned the bundestag, then disbanded it by "executive order." 
Chamberlain has already neutered the gress of con.  He is following 
the same plan.  I predict a fire or other event will lead to 
disbanding the 435 cons and assumption of dictatorial status.  Marty 
al law will be next, probably in the same teleprompter reading.  At 
that point sore ross will be in control.  True evil.  A Bond villain 
or batman/superman villain with a puppet.  then the "cultural rev ol 
ution" will begin.  Sure ria law is adolph's goal.


Some where in this process the call toa rms will occur.  At this 
point the trump card may be in play.


Not pretty, but lets revisit the topic in 2 years and see if the pre

[MBZ] NCAA scams was: S500 Ouchies

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

The official NCAA report.  Yes, Mary W.  I don't think she has any 
interest in any association with them any more.  The SIL was strung 
along for a long time, lied to, and left swinging in the breeze too. 
She has moved on too.  All those big programs are just big business, 
and care nothing about any of the employees, including the players 
who are unmercifully exploited.  She has so many stories of these 
young men coming there to play football who were literate at maybe 
the 3rd grade level, no concept whatsoever of "college."  One of 
them was actually brain-damaged, had sustained some sort of head 
injury at a young age, was out like a light for 2-3 days, family 
just left him on the couch until he came to, was never particularly 
coherent thereafter, but he was a big strong kid and could play 
football, about all he knew how to do.  She took him under her wing, 
apparently a very sweet young man, and tried to help him but there 
was not a lot to work with.  They use them up and pass them along.


--R


I gave up on big time college sports 40+ years ago for those reasons 
and similar   I liked going to WBB with #1 daughter.  Real 
students, almost all in-state, real humble,  Cheap tickets, open 
seating, we could sit right behind the coach and team if we got there 
20  min early or so.  and, they WON!  after the game, they came out 
to meet their families and talked to anyone who wanted to talk to 
them or meet them.  It was great, and they had record attendance, I 
think it was NCAA WBB record attendance.


Then the AD raised prices, went to reserved seats and it ruined the whole deal.

Here's the troubleshooting info for the clutch coil, either read ohms

plenty to disrupt the speed comparator and shut off the compressor
permanently or intermittently.


Of all the troubleshooting steps, checking the compressor clutch coil

is

cheap and relatively easy. Measure current with a clamp on amp meter.
Reading should be 3.75 A hot or 4.2 A cold. Resistance should be

approx 3.5

ohms hot or 3.1 ohms cold.

Everytime I chased an elusive A/C compressor problem in a Mercedes, it
turned out to be a bad clutch. I don't spend near as much on A/C parts
anymore.
