Re: [MBZ] Alternator

I've got a reman alt that will fit the bracket. Its lightly used. The problem I had is that the output is wrong so I had a helluva time getting the pulley to line up. Last time I did it the shims I was using got loose and Fred had to come rescue me with a junkyard pulley. This one has maybe

Re: [MBZ] Blinking Recirculation Switch LED

I’m pretty sure it’s an overcurrent issue. I went out and disconnected the circulation pump (what a PITA that was!) so it’s out of the circuit. They are known to short out and wreak havoc on the Type III ACC systems, so I figure I’ll preempt the potential for damage and take it out of the

Re: [MBZ] Relocation talk again

Btw this is the same job I have now except I would be going from managing 5 employees to managing 18 employees and 3 assistant managers. A lot more headache for sure. Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 12, 2016, at 6:56 PM, Rich Thomas via Mercedes > wrote: > > How far is

Re: [MBZ] How insane would this be?

Plus, it does not apply to the millions of wetbacks. Texas is thinking about undoing the inspection. It's probably because a good portion of the population ignores it all or circumvents it. --R ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

[MBZ] Front calipers

As long as I am at it: What newer models have front calipers that would interchange with the 124 87 300D? The other 300D needs front end work. If I can swap out 98 or so calipers for 87 calipers, that might buy a few more years (decade) without having to buy new-rebuilt. If I go to the

Re: [MBZ] Poos still want a S320LWB?

It’s laminated, and as a result, people think it’s bulletproof. Amazingly, the real stuff on a guard edition is far thicker. Dan > On Apr 11, 2016, at 10:52 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > I've never seen a 6 cylinder Guard
