Re: [MBZ] I think I found the problem with the stove

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Correct. I can't recall if I installed the cord or not back when we 
moved in, but in any case I guess its impressive it went this long.

Why would it?  That thing's rated for what, 50A?  It's _designed_ to deliver
considerable heat... just to someplace other than the input junction!  Even
fire is OK, provided it can't catch and spread.

I'd call it an installation problem.  Nuts not cleaned/secured/torqued 
correctly.

Re: [MBZ] I think I found the problem with the stove

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

There was not a short or any reason to trip the breaker. It appears the nuts 
were not tight creating resistance/heat. I guess after 10 years it finally 
burned thru. I have to replace the cord and the terminal block as it melted to. 
Had one of the wires hit the ground it would have shorted and tripped.

Re: [MBZ] Shop air lines

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Yea I think you are right, it will be much cheaper using regular pex 
fittings and buying the crimp tool and rings off amazon.

I would tend to believe it would be cost-prohibitive as well to use SharkBite 
fittings. They seem to average about $10-$20/each, depending on the type of 
fitting or valve. That could get real expensive, really quick. It’s got to be 
cheaper and easier to just spec out what you need or buy a kit from the 
companies that do this sort of thing.

Sometimes, even if it saves some money, DIY is not the way to go.

I have not used them for air but I probably should install a line in my garage 
too.

I have used PEX for changes to the water lines at my house and the cottage with 
no issues so far.

Re: [MBZ] Be thankful y’all for all you have

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

When I was a kid we had the whole family together at my grandparents for a big 
thanksgiving and Christmas Eve dinner. After they died the entire family still 
got together alternatjng thanksgiving and Christmas.  Slowly it appears these 
were less and less and I have not been invited to one it probably 8-10 years. I 
am not sure if the rest of the family still has them or not, but I hear nothing 
about it. Now it’s just our immediate family. Sometimes we don’t do anything. 
Currently we have 7 people here. 

In the process of cooking the electric range appears to have died. Both the 
stove top burners and the ovens no longer heat. Indicators light up but no 
heating. Since everything quit it seems like maybe the control board died. 

I guess we will get what we get, not everything got cooked.

[MBZ] Shop air lines

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I am getting ready to install air lines in the shop.  Tired of having 
hoses strung all over the place.  Probably going to get a couple of 
those flex tubing kits.  I will be running up to 3/4" inpact, my tire 
machine, tire air hoses etc.  My initial thought it I will have at least 
4 outlets at different points to hook impacts or what not up to.  I will 
then need connections overhead for the lock releases on one of the 
lifts, connection to the tire machine, and I also have a big retractable 
hose reel that I will either mount overhead somewhere, or perhaps along 
the wall somewhere, not sure yet. I do not really see a scenario where 
more than one air item would be used at once since its just me.


Is 1/2" line fine or should it be bumped up to 3/4"?  The 1/2" appears 
to be quite a bit cheaper.  All of the fittings to any tools or 
equipment are just those standard 1/4" connectors.

Re: [MBZ] Oh boy I’m seriously thinking about it

Guy finally sent me additional photos. Holy hell this thing is clean. Anything stand out and wrong with it that I might be missing?  Perhaps I am biased due to the color.

Re: [MBZ] Do Harbor Freight floor jacks

I have not ran into any issues with them. I have a couple of the grey ones and 
2-3 of the old orange ones and they are fine. Although I don’t use the that 
often anymore now that I have 2 lifts.

Re: [MBZ] Oh boy I’m seriously thinking about it

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I don’t get these people. He mentioned it being well maintained, my first 
question was if he had any service records/history. Next question was asking if 
it needed any repairs or had any mechanical issues. My meaning was beyond the 
dead AC the ad mentioned. 3rd was if he has additional photos or video he could 
send.  He simply responded that the AC needed to be charged. I replied back 
asking about service history. No response.

I can tell the seller is a moron like all other Fakebook sellers.  Sent a

asking 1 question at a time. He has read the message but no response.

[MBZ] I think one of my Poos camera has partially died

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

The one out on the shop the wife said the spot light was going on and off a 
while back when it should not. Battery then started running down to where 
camera would shut off. I think that was partially due to the time of year and 
sun exposure but it’s now built back up to 35%. Today I am noticing when 
viewing the camera the flood light does not come on at all anymore. In 
addition, it no longer seems to register movement at all.  It will view live 
but that appears to be it.

[MBZ] Ebay seller trying to screw me

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I bought a HP Z4 which arrived and stops responding after it has turned 
the screen off unless you hit control alt delete, and menu items not 
visible randomly.  Contacted seller who eventually sent me a jpg of a 
fedex return label, that when printed is blurry.  Having a bad feeling 
about just trying to use this blurry label and sending item back without 
a ebay return case opened, I went ahead and opened a case.  Seller 
attached a pdf label to the case which prints fine and I sent it back.  
Last Friday after checking the status of the case, I see it is still 
showing not shipped.  Wrong, item was actually delivered last Friday.  
It was then I notice he attached a label with a different "from" name 
and tracking info that what he provided in the case.  In other words, it 
appears he attached a label from a different return case from a 
different buyer which I did not notice when I printed it.


I contacted seller over the weekend who then replied Monday that return 
would be processed.  Having heard nothing I contacted him yesterday for 
updates.  Seller claims they have not received the item.  I sent him 
screen shots out of ebay clearly showing the return case, the label they 
provided, as well as a direct link to the tracking that shows it was 
delivered and signed for.  He responded saying he sent me the correct 
label and said I used a label from a previous purchase from last month.  
I have never purchased from him.  He sent me screen shots showing the 
buyers info of a different return which is clearly not me.  I responded 
again with screen shots showing what was sent to me.  Regardless of what 
label was used, the item was delivered and signed for, and inside the 
box would have been the packing slip with all of the correct order 
information.  In the meantime, ebay has closed the return case as of 
this morning because item was supposedly never shipped.


I guess I will give them until Monday to respond and take care of the 
issue, or else my only remaining option would be to leave negative 
feedback and try opening a case with Paypal.   I guess I should ship him 
a box using the original blurry jpg label with some random crap it in.

Could be they not use those same cameras to back of their spot instead of

[MBZ] Can someone explain this mentality?

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I travel a lot and have noticed recently at hotels, restaurants, basically 
anywhere with a parking lot, people seem to back into the parking stop instead 
of just pulling in. This seems to be especially true with pickup trucks and big 
SUVs. What’s the deal? I think it’s stupid as crap and my theory is these 
people don’t know how to properly back out of their spot when they go to leave. 
It sometimes makes it difficult for others who are pulling in correctly in 
their spot to back out. When trying to park, I often have to sit there and wait 
as some idiot has the isle blocked while attempting to back their big ‘ol truck 
in instead of just pulling the damn thing in.

Re: [MBZ] My expensive HF air powered vacuum oil extractor crapped the bed?

It’s got a black plastic screw on deal. I’m wondering if I can take it apart 
and clean it out.

[MBZ] My expensive HF air powered vacuum oil extractor crapped the bed?

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Yesterday while using it to such up oil and such from the valley of the 642, it 
sorted if seemed like it was intermittent not sucking. I did not think a whole 
lot about not it until it stopped sucking all together. I figured maybe 
something got sucked up and stuck in the hose so I disconnected it. No sucking 
directly out of the hole where the hose goes. I thought this was a pretty 
simple concept but what could be wrong? It’s got a deal that screws on the 
opposite of the air inlet that I assume generates the vacuum. Any ideas? I 
noticed these things are now $200 but im sure I didn’t pay that much for it.

[MBZ] Starting to clean this 642

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Removed the belt to clean the front of the engine. Hosed it down with engine 
degreaser then hit it with brake cleaner. I figured the brake cleaner would 
just blast it off. Not so. Still have lots of grease in all the nooks and 
crannies on the front. I wiped down what I can get to but lots of areas I can’t 
really. I would love to power wash it but it’s in the shop so that won’t work. 

Anyone have any ideas? Thought about buying a steak cleaner but will that blast 
the crap off or will it it just loosen in and it’s still going to have to be 
wiped off?

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Looked at this car a while back. Guy was on crack and wanted at least $2k for 
it but but would never give me an exact price. Every body seal was rotten and 
no doubt leaking water, had rust starting, main wiring harness completely 
chewed thru by rats. I would have gone maybe $6-800 on it maybe, which was 
reasonable.

Re: [MBZ] Hoovie has a new woman?

I tried not to judge but never understood the deal with his wife. Seemed odd to 
me. It would appear he has definitely moved up. When I first started noticing 
these videos (yesterday) of this new woman, I speculated they worked together 
and he started messing around on the wife causing the divorce.

Well that’s less than half the size of Okie acres, but if I managed to get them

There actually appear to be a fair number of potential cars I see. There are

Re: [MBZ] How do I get a reimbursement from UPS?

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Then you are SOL.  Just leave negative feedback and move on. Perhaps 
disputing the CC charges will work.

The auction/listing was non-returnable.

That stinks, but it can and does work. FedEx has similar policies, and
when they packed and later crushed a Mac Pro in Apple factory packaging
that was sent to me, the buddy who sold it to me had to file the claim.

In my case the seller has dropped off the face of the earth ...

If you bought it on eBay you simply start a return, depending on the terms of 
the listing, unless it’s a no returns listing.

Re: [MBZ] Servicing my 300SD's transmission

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

I can't say I have ever torqued them to any specific spec, I just do it 
by feel.

I have the 1980 W116 300SD up on front jackstands and have drained the

The PDF I have which describes changing the ATF (but NOT the filter) has
the spec for the torque converter plug (14 N m = 10.33 ft lbf), but no
spec for the transmission pan's four corner bolts.

Any idea of the torque spec for the transmission pan's four corner bolts?

Re: [MBZ] Is that Black Death poking out of the engine cover?

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Well at the BIN price it would be a couple grand, which aside from the 
possibility of Black Death and it appears to have some warning lights on, might 
not be too bad. Cheaper would be better.

Around 220k I believe. I have not checked but I would guess it used a qt every
