Re: [MBZ] Rock Auto.com

[clay via Mercedes]

I used them to acquire a few things a number of years ago.  Good pricing, but 
it is essentially just a clearing house for the major parts distributors.  
Product is product, and rather high quality if you know what you are shopping 
for.  If you get URO, it is garbage, but you knew that.  They have good prices 
on the OEM products.  No access to OE parts.  Meaning, the Lemforder part that 
is used in your car, for example, is priced way below the highway robbery price 
the stealership will charge for the exact same part, but with the magic star 
not ground off.

THe radio dealies are something like 20-24 ga

You can make your own with a tinsnips.  If you

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

(C)rockauto has closeouts for Moog tierod ends.  Should fit all MB 
from postwar until 1992 at least.


Also belts for OM603

I snagged front brake pads for $5. too


Their promo:
We have a limited number of wholesaler closeout parts available for 
your 2000 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN, 1986 MERCEDES-BENZ 300SDL and possibly 
other vehicles you work on. Wholesaler closeout parts come from 
manufacturers, retailers or distributors who, for whatever reason, 
decided to reduce or liquidate inventory. We pay less for these parts 
and can offer them to RockAuto customers at bargain prices. Some of 
these products were discontinued by manufacturers and may be hard to 
find after these closeout parts are sold. If you're planning for 
future repairs or if you've postponed maintenance, now is a great 
time to buy the parts you need!


The links below display the wholesaler closeout parts available for 
your vehicles. Wholesaler closeout parts are also listed in the 
RockAuto catalog alongside our regular inventory.

Re: [MBZ] Harbor Freight

While attempting to remove the 22mm nut on the steering wheel on a PnP SL my 
ratchet died.  I am having terrible luck getting the nuts to let go.  PB 
blaster is not working.  Even the penlight torch...

ANYWAY... I was headed to another yard this morning and hit HF for a

the parking lot to the salvage store and pick up another wrench for $1.99.  And 
the DMV had moved to the shopping center, so renewed my ID.

We are using El Crapitan on our older Intel Macs.  Yes, you
lose Rosetta.  I don't know if there's a VM game you can play
to get 10.6 back, or else you can dual-boot new/old OS's at
need.

Or set up a Rosetta server and use Screen Sharing to run
your stuff on the old machine from the newer one, when
you need to.  That's how I'm doing e-mail, using 10.2.8 on
the same old machine I've used for years.

I am not sure how processor time can total over 100%, because by

You have more than one CPU.  So you have N*100% in the typical report.
It is generally more useful that way, but other systems might vary.

Re: [MBZ] lift

It's mainly for doing alignments, it is an alignment lift. It can also be used 
for any other service work also. It has 2 rolling air jacks that will lift the 
car off its wheels for that sort of work. I will also be getting a 2 post lift

Re: [MBZ] Bluetec Slayer strikes again

So does that car have the various nannies that will stop it before 
crashing into the car ahead, and the various ABS systems, etc.? Were you 
able to stop then the car behind whacked you and smashed you into the 
car ahead or did you hit it then get whacked?

I am guessing the fix was in so teach could buy a new 'un.

IF there is an internal leak, a kit for a hyd cyl is pretty cheap. Or, 
you can just let it leak back to the catches, and let the catches hold 
the load.  That is actually how it is SUPPOSED to be used. Lift, then 
let off the hyd pressure so the catches hold the load.


It could be the valve is worn, so the fluid just leaks back into the

this is more likely than an internal cylinder leak.

Re: [MBZ] lift

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

Take a look at this lift and tell me what you think.  It is at a 
school and supposedly failed inspection and indicated in the 
auction, but it looks to me like if it really did have leaks you 
would see evidence of it and they say they have not seen any leaks. 
Also the wear on the bar they are talking about does not look bad to 
me.  I am wondering if this might be a case of the "inspector" 
failing it due to being overboard when in fact it is perfectly fine. 
Plus after talking to seller it appears they are wanting to upgrade 
their lift anyway so maybe thats the deal.  I don't know. Does 
anything in the photos stick out to you guys? I have a line on a 
scissor lift as well but it looks like it have been left outside for 
a long time.


http://www.ebay.com/itm/111928673126?euid=c3cae5d698324c03bc87f21aa7b63d1e&cp=1&exe=13926&ext=35633&sojTags=exe=exe,ext=ext


I am guessing the fix was in so teach could buy a new 'un.

IF there is an internal leak, a kit for a hyd cyl is pretty cheap. 
Or, you can just let it leak back to the catches, and let the catches 
hold the load.  That is actually how it is SUPPOSED to be used. 
Lift, then let off the hyd pressure so the catches hold the load.


It could be the valve is worn, so the fluid just leaks back into the 
reservoir.  That "fix" may only require a couple orings.  I'd guess 
this is more likely than an internal cylinder leak.

[MBZ] Harbor Freight

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

So last week I dropped about $300 in HF buying a 170amp welder and 
misc other stuff.  Today I used my members club thing for the 
first time on the parking lot preview sale and bought another one 
of those 3 ton rapid lift jacks and the 12k lb winch to replace 
the 5k one on my trailer that I believe is crapped out.  Dropped 
another almost $300 on that.

My FLAPS go-to is Advance Auto, because they have a store about five minutes 
away that's a regional stock location, so they almost always have what I need 
when other stores don't.

I always order online and pick up at the store, since that's the only way you 
can get their promotional prices. I typically get between 30%-40% off their 
prices with online coupons or promo codes. Retailmenot seems to be one of the 
best for them.

Case in point: when I got the rebuilt alternator for the 350SDL the other night 
I got 40% off using a promo code. Drove over there and picked it up 10 minutes 
later.

[MBZ] lift

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

Take a look at this lift and tell me what you think.  It is at a 
school and supposedly failed inspection and indicated in the 
auction, but it looks to me like if it really did have leaks you 
would see evidence of it and they say they have not seen any 
leaks. Also the wear on the bar they are talking about does not 
look bad to me.  I am wondering if this might be a case of the 
"inspector" failing it due to being overboard when in fact it is 
perfectly fine.  Plus after talking to seller it appears they are 
wanting to upgrade their lift anyway so maybe thats the deal.  I 
don't know. Does anything in the photos stick out to you guys? I 
have a line on a scissor lift as well but it looks like it have 
been left outside for a long time.

Re: [MBZ] What's equivalent to MB Coolant (W123 300TD)?

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

  
  
OK here is where I ordered it from last time, and last time I had a
discount code that brought it to about $10 per gallon

http://www.zoro.com/i/G2079122/

That code I had was expired so the best I have found is a $10 off
$150 or more purchase. So if you buy 11 of them you can use the code
and it will bring the total per unit to $13.66, with free shipping
and no tax.  A little better than the napa deal because you do not
have to pay tax.

code is MARCHDEAL

Re: [MBZ] What's equivalent to MB Coolant (W123 300TD)?

NAPA is a professional parts supplier that has a heck of a distribution system. 
In most stores you can get a part from the warehouse the same day.

And the employees are car guys who typically know their stuff.

For what it's worth, the rebuilt alternator I got the other night was a 
CarQuest brand.

Re: [MBZ] What's equivalent to MB Coolant (W123 300TD)?

Advance is acceptable to me if I know a part number they can look up. Otherwise 
the employees there are too stupid to talk to. If it doesn't come right up in 
the computer they have no idea.The exception is an Advance that used to be Car 
Quest, they have much brighter employees because they do commercial business. 
Sadly the hiring process from Advance has gone into the new stores so any new 
employees are minimum wage morons. They also discontinued the old good Car 
Quest branded stuff that I liked that was lower cost.
We've got Fisher which I think is a regional chain, they're more like Car Quest 
used to be, I'll be taking my business there more from now on.

My FLAPS go-to is Advance Auto, because they have a store about five minutes 
away that's a regional stock location, so they almost always have what I need 
when other stores don't.

I always order online and pick up at the store, since that's the only way you 
can get their promotional prices. I typically get between 30%-40% off their 
prices with online coupons or promo codes. Retailmenot seems to be one of the 
best for them.

Case in point: when I got the rebuilt alternator for the 350SDL the other night 
I got 40% off using a promo code. Drove over there and picked it up 10 minutes 
later.

Re: [MBZ] What's equivalent to MB Coolant (W123 300TD)?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

My FLAPS go-to is Advance Auto, because they have a store about five minutes 
away that's a regional stock location, so they almost always have what I need 
when other stores don't.

I always order online and pick up at the store, since that's the only way you 
can get their promotional prices. I typically get between 30%-40% off their 
prices with online coupons or promo codes. Retailmenot seems to be one of the 
best for them.

Case in point: when I got the rebuilt alternator for the 350SDL the other night 
I got 40% off using a promo code. Drove over there and picked it up 10 minutes 
later.

Wilton,

An honor indeed.  This is the equivalent of getting knighted across the
pond.

I will curate your gift carefully and ship soon.

 Here is the denouement.  It was a very close call.  I was actually quite
 pleased at how little I spent compared to my initial guess, which was a
 couple hundred dollars above actual cost.  I probably would have saved
 $50
 if I had the time to order from Autohaus AZ, although not sure if the
 quality would have been equivalent.  Both Napa and Advance Auto were
 able
 to have my parts delivered in a day or less.

 Break down:

 Two rear rotors from Advance Auto (Brembo brand) - $72.50
 Pair of generic hoses, rear brake pads, and rebuilt calipers (Napa) -
 331.85
  Less core for return of  old calipers
 *(110.12)* Total cost for
 parts$294.23

 3 hrs. labor to install calipers, rotors, hoses, pads$238.94
 (includes
 $13.94 for shop materials)

 Grand total:$533.17

 Entries:

 OK DON - $380
 "Curly" - $496
 Curt - $500
 ***ACTUAL COST - $533.17***
 Randy - $550
 Kevin - 630
 "Mountain Man" - 830

 Congratulations to Randy for being just $16.83 above the actual total.
 Curt finished second,  $33.17 lower.

 Randy, Winnipeg Customs will probably either confiscate/eat or collect
 250%
 duty on, a jar of artisanal jelly.  I can still ship, or let me know a
 designee (proxy?).   I will need a physical address.

 Thanks to all,

 Andrew

Re: [MBZ] What's equivalent to MB Coolant (W123 300TD)?

[Rich Thomas via Mercedes]

A lot of the auto parts stores are like that now.  I got into it with a 
guy at a store who wouldn't give me the on-line price though I tried to 
order it and the web site showed the store didn't have it.  I called and 
they had it so went to get it with the print out...  took him about 5 
minutes to figure out the process to override his price in the computer 
but he did, but he wasn't happy. I have no idea why, the product and 
price would have been exactly the same if the inventory system had been 
up to date.

Re: [MBZ] What's equivalent to MB Coolant (W123 300TD)?

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Thanks much.  $9.99 is more like it.  Napa is in Gaithersburg as well, not
too far from my tech.  Their service was pretty awesome.  I asked about the
calipers at 10:30 AM and they had them shipped to the store by 3:30, along
with the pads and hoses.  Their rotors were too expensive at $56 ea. I got
a better deal from Advance Auto, ($20 less per side), which they delivered
directly to the shop.

Zerex G-03 is the previous version, should be just fine in our cars.

[MBZ] What's equivalent to MB Coolant (W123 300TD)?

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

Now $23.32/gallon at AutohausAZ - was half that price not too long ago!

Anyone know of a generic equivalent at a fraction of the cost?  .

Genuine Mercedes  -
* Antifreeze/Coolant; Antifreeze; Blue, 1 Gallon *
* Latest version to comply with MBZ Approval 325.0 for all models, replaces
previous Q1030002 version. It is recommended that this coolant not be mixed
with older coolants of any other color, a full coolant flush with all new
material is the only proper way to achieve maximum benefit.*

[MBZ] OT Mac performance/Chrome question

[Curly McLain via Mercedes]

Macbook 8.1  Core i5  2.3
8 Gb ram

10.6.8  (original installation)


I have been getting hangs regularly, particularly when using chrome. 
(safari is pretty much useless now as we don't seem to be able to 
update Safari without installing a newer OS.)


I use 10.6 because of Rosetta.  So unless a Rosetta-like app can be 
installed on the latest OS, I am resisting a newer OS.


This is complicated by the google announcement last week that 10.6, 
through 10.9 are no longer supported.  (NLS)  The other mac, a 
macbook 1.1 will soon be a problem again because of this, since it is 
10.6 also. (thanks Dan)


I have been running Activity Monitor and it seems to indicate the 
hangs are caused by multiple instances of "Google Chrome Helper" 
hogging processor time.  I just found one instance indicated at over 
100% of processor time, as well as other software taking lesser 
percentages of processor time.  I am not sure how processor time can 
total over 100%, because by definition percent can't go over 100%. 
(except bakers percent which is not a percent, but a comparison to 
flour content)


It appears to me that a lot of these hangs are associated with
a. video ads
b. Websites with so many ads it is difficult to find the content
c.  Websites with Flash (which I have blocked)
d.  Websites with embedded video that is set to start automatically.


I have clamxv installed as an antivirus and recently ran ccleaner 
with no change.


The hangs also happen when chrome is not running, but I have not 
caught what is hogging resources in those cases.


Questions:

Is there any way to control chrome to eliminate this problem?

Is there a possibility that there is a virus?

Any suggestions about what to do?

Is there a rosetta-like app that runs on 10.10 or 10.11?

Thanks

PS:  I am thinking maybe it is time to convert these machines to 
linux of some flavor.  Apple/googs apparently don't want us around 
anymore.  That is a lot to learn that I'd rather not learn.

Too many idiots use TD to mean "turbodiesel".  Most 300TDs on CL are NOT
wagons.
