Thanks. Good to know it's a regular 49. That was the only one I could find at 
Pepboys.

I've used 26R and 24R, but never heard of 49R before.
One of my Tauri, I think the 1995, took a 26R and the other one took a 26.
No idea why Ford kept the size the same but reversed the cables between Taurus 
generations.

Mitch.

Re: [MBZ] Bosch Group 49R Batteries

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

Yea the group 49/H8 is what is used in must about all the cars. BTW it 
is also $119 at Walmart.  WM also has the AGM version for $149 in case 
anybody is interested.

Anyway, if you need it, there it is.  It has a 3 year warranty, but I've always gotten 
between 5-8 years with these batteries in the 617 diesels.  A difference now and the 
older batteries is that you can no longer add water as there are no plugs to remove to 
add water.  So, maybe they won't last as long as the older version.

Do yourself a favor and get four of the eccentric bolts for adjusting the

Hold it, 49R???
Most of my MBs have exactly enough cable to reach the terminals on a 49. Move 
the terminals 3" and I don't think it would work in anything I own, except 
maybe the W116 or S210.

Is that really a 49Reversed, and if the terminals are facing you the POS is on 
your left?

Don't ever let Pierre near Okie acres. He won't like to see dozens of 
restorable Benz rusting in pieces.

These comments are from two separate threads, and possibly not in order.

Pierre is a driven man, passionate about the marque.

Re: [MBZ] For when Poos moves into his new house

The firewall on my router won’t let it send anything out without my approval. I 
check the manufacturer’s web site to see if there are firmware updates, and 
when there are I let it download them or I pull them down and side load them 
with a USB stick.

If I don’t want something to phone home, it’s blocked at the edge of my 
environment.

One wonders at the expense of R/R the engine and interior (!) to repaint a
W123 car with  an inauthentic shade of blue.  Plus, the interior clashes.

YET - the bid price is already at $16K.

Re: [MBZ] For when Poos moves into his new house

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

When/if I ever replace our 58" Panny plasma it'll be an OLED.  Nothing else 
even remotely
approaches the video quality of a good plasma.  OLED actually beats it.  There 
have only
been five different consumer display technologies: CRT, Plasma, LCD, DLP, and 
OLED.
The rest are all variations and marketing hype.

The applications on our 2010 'smart' TV have all died, one by one.  Maybe one 
of them
still works, I'm not sure.  What is not appreciated is that they stop 
supporting a TV shortly
after release, and as services move, change, and die, so does the utility of 
your TV.

Fortunately its tuner still works, and it's an excellent HDMI monitor for the 
Apple TV.
It also works well with the LD, DVD, and BluRay players.

Re: [MBZ] For when Poos moves into his new house

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

I bought a 65” OLED LG a few months ago to replace a 60” LG plasma TV that was 
seven years old and starting to show artifacts. I’m happy with it for the most 
part. It’s a “smart” TV but I don’t connect it to my network but maybe every 60 
days or so to get any updates that might be available.

Last time I connected it I tried messing with the built in applications for 
things like Netflix and was sorely disappointed, so I don’t feel like I’m

Re: [MBZ] For when Poos moves into his new house

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I am thinking about replacing my current 10 year old 73” DLP with a new TV. It 
seems like it sort of flickers from brighter to darker at times. Not all the 
time but most of the time. Sometimes it is barely noticeable. The picture was 
getting darker and I noticed this before. Bulb was original so I replaced it 
last week. It seemed to brighten the picture overall but it still does the 
bright/darker flicker. Seems like it might be more notifsble now with the new 
bulb.  I am looking at 75” ones in the $699-$999 or so range. I’m sure those 
are the lower end models but it would be a huge improvement over what I 
currently have I am sure.

If I was to buy a new TV for the house, new or current, it would be one of 
those QLED TVs. I’ve looked at them at Costco and the images are amazing.

So I believe.  OTOH, the electronics will probably take the vehicle permanently 
out of service anyway.
The reduction in fleet service life due to tempering might not be noticeable.

Re: [MBZ] 124/201 ball joint tool

[Peter Frederick via Mercedes]

Hot stamped will be hardened, cold stamp will be only work hardened.

There are other things to consider as well:

Heating to red hot softens the steel, which can easily result in opening up the 
hole where the joint is pressed, usually making it slightly oval since you are 
heating on one side.  Now the press fit isn't a press fit any more, and the 
joint can come loose more easily.

You can also induce or expand cracks by heating only one portion of the control 
arm, resulting in sudden failure as the crack grows.

I've been in more than one auto shop where a customer was informed that unless 
the part the customer heated trying to get a ball joint out was replaced with 
new the shop would NOT work on the car.  Way too much liability.

A good press tool does the job in a couple minutes, no heating, hammering, or 
other destructive things need be done.

Just like wailing away on a tie rod end socket instead of using the two hammers 
trick.  Pinch type ball joint tool works far better.

Re: [MBZ] 124/201 ball joint tool

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

Philip,

The color in the chart on the second link (SMEX) that is about where I
ended heating was in the brown red to blood red color.  My friend did talk
about what kind of steel and whether or not is was already tempered as big
factors, and we decided that these control arms are probably not tempered
or hardened, and that was why the heat / cool cycle was not a concern.

So, how can we determine if the control arms were tempered / hardened?

Meh.  Wait a couple of years, and it'll be down to $299.
