Re: [MBZ] 201 ball joint
How do you folks get the joint out in the first place? Peter Frederick wrote: We bent the press on the W126 ball joint, it's much harder to get to. You need an adapter tube of some sort for removal -- a pile of big washer will work. The adapters with the Harbor Freight tool work going back in. Ball joint RR isn't bad, you can leave the spring in IF you set the control arm down on a jack stand so the weight of the car stays on the spring. You CANNOT remove the control arm this way, and CANNOT do the bushings unless you have an internal spring compressor like a Klann. The strut is self aligning, so you don't have to worry about getting it back in right. However, you must use an alignment shop familiar with Benz strut type front ends, or you will very likely have a car that drives squirrely and eats front tires due to excessive toein.

I read the entire site in English and it is absolutely fascinating. It differs from the Carthage plant in that it does not use high pressure and uses a lower temperture. It runs off its own fuel (needs 10% of it's diesel production to run). What a boon. With the current fuel crisis why aren't people all over this?

Re: [MBZ] Biodiesel
I love the coined terms - in addition to Doktor Booth fuel tonics we now have cathartics as well. What should we call Diesel Purge... an emetic? :-) Chris --- Marshall Booth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: David Brodbeck wrote: My car seemed to idle rougher on biodiesel than on petrodiesel. Anyone else seen this? It could have been just clogged filters, I suppose. I changed the inline filter halfway through, with no obvious change, but I didn't get around to changing the main filter until I had finished off the tank. Biodiesel is a better solvent that conventional petrodiesel (everything else being equal). All that needs to happen is for freed deposits to clog an injector nozzle, or even for a bit of carbon to loosen in a prechamber and the idle and noise can roughen up VERY noticeably. If it's cylinder specific you'll need to perform all the same diagnostics that you would any time the idle gets rough (determine which cylinder, etc). A few full pedal acceleration runs will clean up MANY carbon/coking problems. The main filter CAN be almost completely clogged without there being ANY evidence of the inline filter being discolored or occluded. But then there is also the quality and energy content of the base petro stock as well as the quality of the bio stock. With pure petro diesel, it's very common for the quality to vary greatly. Different batches of fuel (all meeting the minimum standards common in the US) to deliver economy that can vary over a more than 20% range (even more when winter additives are added) and can have a Cetane rating (Cetane is unrelated to power but is an indicator of ease of ignition) anywhere from 40-50. There is also the quality of the bio component. While I don't know this for sure, I expect it's far less tightly defined and controlled than the petro component. My own experience with biodiesel was rather good until a few weeks ago. Since then, the biodiesel I have been able to purchase has been of marginal quality, delivered poor economy and has been expensive to VERY expensive when compared to petrodiesel. I was ALMOST a believer. Now my enthusiasm has reverted to skepticism. Until Biodiesel of uniform and suitable quality can be reliably supplied at a price competitive with available petrodiesel, it will remain nothing more than a novelty that some might occasionally use as a fuel system cathartic.

Re: [MBZ] Daimler Chrysler diesel - MB commercial engines
BZZT! Clessie Cummins was as American as Apple Pie, and the company he started is in Indiana, as it has always been. Excerpt from cummins.com: Headquartered in Columbus, Indiana, (USA) Cummins serves customers in more than 160 countries and territories through its network of 550 Company-owned and independent distributor locations Cummins first raced a Diesel at Indy in the 20s. Check it out A good book is My days with the Diesel by Clessie Cummins. They may make pieces abroad, and they most likely make whole engines abroad, but Cummins is an American company. Buy a John Deere, and you may get an engine made in France, Waterloo, IA or Japan. In '74 my Dad bought a Deere assembled in Mannheim, with a french engine, a British (yuk) injection system and US tires. From what I understand, MB trucks outside the US use MB OM series engines. MBUSA trucks (sterling and Freightshaker) probably have options for any of the US-3 as well as some MB OM series engines for Freightliners. I know some Freightshakers have powered by Mercedes Benz on some of the hoods.To my knowledge, all the OM engines are made by Mercedes Benz, probably in Europe, traditionally in Germany. They have been reluctant to let engine production occur outside of Germany, but maybe that changed with the acquisition of Freightliner.The L1113, L1116 and so forth MB medium duties used OM352 and other OM engines made in Germany. I know of an experimental MB OM truck engine that was put in service in a US chassis in 1973 and ran a million+ miles and was good as new when the chassis was retired. The engine was experimental for the US long haul market, but was a production v-8. They wanted to see how it stood up to the long haul market. I think there is some misunderstanding about what market segment the original question was addressing. I am not sure either. Sprinter is one thing, the L series trucks from Brazil in the 80s is another, and the US (sterling/Freightshaker) is another, and the MB trucks for the rest of the world is another. Luther, are you saying MB OM series engines are being manufactured by Detroit Diesel under contract/license? Could be, but it is news to me. Makes sense though, for the number of freightshakers they sell. Which OM numbers are made in the US? Anyone know the location of the plant the Sprinters are made in? At 06:37 PM 9/21/2005, you wrote: Lets see, Cummings is a English corporation, that would be those small islands off the coast of France, and the Cummings engines in the Dodge stuff is made by frogs in France. Check out the plate on the side of the engine. Most of the big castings used in the large engines are cast in Spain, loose emission rules. Interesting old news, Cummings ran a diesel powered car in a front engine car at Indy. I think this was back in the 60´s and they layed the engine on it´s side. Car actually did real well in that one race.

I'm curious if they hold their own to what else is out there, or if they're just rebadged detroits in disguise (for whatever that's worth). From what I've heard, the engines for the class 7 and class 8 trucks are quite good - but they are not made by one of the US 3 (Cummins, Caterpiller, Detroit) and so it's been a hard sell.

There are probably some examples of gouging, but from what I've heard most of the profit isn't made at the retail end of things.

There's a pretty well documented timeline here: http://www.factcheck.org/article348.html According to it, Blanco asked Bush to declare a state of emergency two days before the storm hit, on August 27, and he did so. On August 29 she asked him again for help. Not exactly the actions of someone trying to keep the feds out. While Bush isn't personally responsible for FEMA's slow response, I do hold him responsible for appointing an incompetant political hack with no disaster response experience to head the agency. Unfortunately this administration has seen a return to something of the old spoils system, where government jobs are given as rewards to people who are politically loyal, not to the people who are best qualified.

Re: [MBZ] Using dead cats as fuel
As for who would pay that for a cat the answer would be me. If ya want to use dead animals for fuel then I'm sure you can get enough energy out of the usual road kill. And if that isn't enough you can go for the pests that plague us and scatter garbage and disease like coons, skunk and possum. redghost [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We just do lots of pest eradication, take the puppies and kitties, along with the rats and mice, and toss them into the great big Bio processor.

Re: [MBZ] here we go again
David Brodbeck wrote: I suppose they'd argue they're just charging their replacement cost -- what it'll cost to replace the gas you're buying. Makes sense, if you sell the contents of your storage tanks for $2.60 just so you can pay $2.70 to refill them tomorrow, you'd be better off just closing the store for a day and leaving the tanks full. The fact that you paid $2.50 for what's in the tanks now is irrelevant. OTOH, some merchants are too resistant for selling the $2.70 stuff for $2.60 when the wholesale goes back down to $2.50. So what you see is prices going down 1-2 cents per price change, and up 20 cents all at once.

Re: [MBZ] here we go again
I think you have a good point. People are eager to raise the price and take the profit but reluctant to lower the price if they can still make profit. That's what just about everyone I know does. The grocer, the laborer and the McParts house all do the same thing. When NAPA raises their prices do they sell all the old stock at the old price? Have you wondered about the carpenter who can't make it back to your job until maybe friday? He found a job that pays more than yours does and he's making hay while the sun shines. At the time I had my gas station, prices were just topping $1.00. When I bought gasoline it was a cash transaction. The oil company wanted paid when they delivered. So sometimes my investment made really good money and sometimes I wasn't making the standard .10 per gallon, in order to keep selling.

Makes sense, if you sell the contents of your storage tanks for $2.60 just so you can pay $2.70 to refill them tomorrow, you'd be better off just closing the store for a day and leaving the tanks full. The fact that you paid $2.50 for what's in the tanks now is irrelevant. OTOH, some merchants are too resistant for selling the $2.70 stuff for $2.60 when the wholesale goes back down to $2.50. So what you see is prices going down 1-2 cents per price change, and up 20 cents all at once.

Re: [MBZ] 1.3 million flee TX - one in a 300?D
ROYCE, I hope and pray that all goes well for you and your family. Now, this is a perfect example of why I am glad I did some of those strange tests on the 240D...you can stretch your range by bringing along, in addition to what D2 you can find, kero, ATF, motor oil, veggie oil (at costco, the 35 pound jug is not much more than diesel anyway), lamp oil (probably harder to find than standard fuel in such a situation)...probably won't have much luck getting aviation diesel at the airport. I recall one person saying that I would never add that kind of stuff to my car unless the situation had reached mad max proportions - well, for a bunch of TX dieselers, it's getting VERY close. A perfect scenario for those WVO-ers who have on board filtration - while half of TX is in line for gas, you pull up to Ching-Chong's Buffet and fill up.

Re: [MBZ] Using dead cats as fuel
sheep offal was banned from cattle feed years ago becuase of fears that the sheep version of mad cow would jump over to cows. All mammals have a version of mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy)...in people it's called Krutzfeld-Jacob Disease (spelling certainly wrong) disease which also has a variant disease. People have been warned of eating squirrel brains (a delicacy in some places in the US) for fear of the squirrel version jumping over to humans.

Painted Diesel on it during the first attack on Iraq (1990) to scare off gas thieves. Not only would the bastids siphon your truck, they'd throw away the gas cap. I figure warning them not to put diesel in their cars would remove any temptation I might have to set fire to any car found nearby with diesel in the tank.

Parked outside the gates in a parking lot by an attendee of the races. It was there both saturday and sunday, about two blocks west of the first set of gates.

Re: [MBZ] 1.3 million flee TX - one in a 300?D
I went out this morning in Houston to do a few errands. It was like an early Sunday morning, no one on the streets, some stores still open, most gas stations closed/out of gas. The grocery store up the street was busy, had a lot of stuff, probably be free meat and frozen stuff come Sunday when the power is out. My corner convenience was out of gas but had diesel so I filled up Brunnhilde, not sure why but I suppose the price will be higher next week anyway. A guy in a Golf TDI pulled up after me. Looks like everyone is either hunkered down or stuck on a freeway trying to get out of town. I got no interest in trying to go anywhere else, might as well ride it out here. Neighbor reports that some guy was trying to get into a vacated house this morning in his brother's neighborhood not far from us, was dealt some 12g Texas learnin' by a neighbor and decided it was a better idea to vamos quickly than persist in his evil ways. --R Royce Engler wrote: This Texan will be fleeing in a 300TD, but only as far as Ft.

I might be laughing, but for fear of women lurkers, I am totally offended! :-) Chris --- Don Teresa Merriman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Have you ever wondered why it´s called PMS? Cuz Mad Cow Disease was already used! On 9/22/05, Christopher McCann [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: sheep offal was banned from cattle feed years ago becuase of fears that the sheep version of mad cow would jump over to cows. All mammals have a version of mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy)...in people it's called Krutzfeld-Jacob Disease (spelling certainly wrong) disease which also has a variant disease. People have been warned of eating squirrel brains (a delicacy in some places in the US) for fear of the squirrel version jumping over to humans. All that said, there is NO evidence that the various variants from one animal can infect another type of mammal, nor is there evidence it can't - so they err on the side of safety. Since a Benz is not a mammal, it's not a problem! :-) Christopher Christopher --- John M McIntosh [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was reading that they recently banned putting cow remains in chicken food after the mad cow in Texas because someone pointed out the chickens toss/scratch the food about down into the floor which is then swept up and the bird dung/feathers/bits/deadcowbits get ground up and made into cow food. So the disposal methods for cow remains is becoming more limited so it would appear someone is waking up to the issue and realizing they have another solution.
