Around here, good pick and pull engines can be had for about $900. A crappy one can be much cheaper :^) Gary Thompson Austin, TX 1995 E320 On 1/9/06, Jim Cathey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Around here a nice pick and pull engine is $150 complete > > So, of course, are the crappy ones! But

Re: [MBZ] anybody with a 603 3.5?

The 140 is a sweet vehicle with a nice ride. Dual front airbags are good to have around too. Figure the cost of a new engine into the mix if you go with the S350. Still worth it IMHO. If you don't go diesel, go for the Full Monte and get the V12 600. Wickedly fast ride. Been looking for one for a w

[MBZ] Cheap Ebay 603 head

Gather 'round boys and girls. Guy is offering up a no. 17 head, and its mislisted (under instrument clusters) so it may go cheaper than usual. Sorry if this has been posted previously. Sorry if you were keeping this your little secret. :) *http://tinyurl.com/dj2ju*

Re: [MBZ] Relamping

Re: [MBZ] Of interest to dieselheads

A caravan 400CDI? That is scarey! I'd look at a CHeep Cherokee with an MB Diesel, or a dakota PU I'd probably buy the ML though. (in 10-15 years) At 12:15 AM 1/10/2006, you wrote: On 1/9/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > DaimlerChrysler plans to achieve a breakthrough in

Also, what's up with that feature that allows you to just turn on one directional lamp steady (not flashing) - one side at a time. ? City parking in certain cow-path streets in some old European cities mandates a parked car being lit, at least on the street side. Half lights draw half power, al

Re: [MBZ] 240 vs SD Go Trucks

Could you expand on this? I have a "Gump" too. Or is that blasphemy? Seriously though, I'd like to know what you mean by changing out the rear lamps. Which lamps specifically did you replace and what fills their previous function? Wait. I just found this post which answers that. Redghost wrote

Re: [MBZ] Fog lights

The stock Mercedes fogs, while mounted too high to be truely good fog lights, do have that sharp cutoff. It's interesting to look at the Depends on the car. The aftermarket-ey ones on a US 107 hang beneath the bumper, and are quite low enough. The ones I added to the Frankenheap are mounted
