I thought all aluminum house wiring had to have spring compression fittings to deal with this issue. My father investigated a few house fires back in the 50's when aluminum wiring was first used, and code here in Indiana was changed to require spring loaded connections to deal with the

That light throttle "thump" is due to dead differential mounts. I've been putting off replacing mine on the TE for a while, and doing so eliminates a lot of drive train stuff. Also check the rear subframe mounts, they can also lead to excessive noise in the rear on bumps and hard

Re: [MBZ] Max's latest MB adventure for your reading pleasure

If you have not changed the rear subframe mounts since you owned the white whale, they are likely bad. (unless they were replaced just before you bought it.) Peter Frederick via Mercedes wrote: That light throttle "thump" is due to dead differential mounts. I've been putting off replacing

Seattle, the land of snowflakes and all manner of idiocy has taken another victim. Allen (SD) was attacked, while i was driving, by a deranged Hobo who had set up a fort with the orange traffic barrels and was using the caution sign as a shield. He was blocking access to the highway on the

Wow!  the bullets you tried to order can hardly be considered ammo (IMO) - without the case, primer and powder they're just chunks of metal.  And since they were for a muzzleloader it's especially a problem.  I guess whoever wrote the regulations must have been covering all the bases...

Re: [MBZ] Max's latest MB adventure for your reading pleasure

Have not changed the rear subframe mounts nor the differential mounts. I think I'll start with the carrier bearing / mount, and see if that solves the problem first. I really don't have the time to address all that other rubber now, may have to farm that job out to my indie. -- Max Dillon

Thanks Curly and Peter, I've never replaced the flex discs on this car, they appear to be in pretty good shape. I can't recall if the transmission mount has been replaced. All that rubber may easily be over ten years old and over 100k miles. Thinking about this, I often get a really loud
