Yes I am running out of problems to chase down with the car just now so this
one rises to the top.
putting the car on stands and winding up to 80 sounds a bit too much like
ferris Buehler s day off, but is otherwise a fine idea. I didn't follow the
bit about 80 on stands without the
80 would be very unsafe; if only one wheel was turning, it would be going 160
mph when your speedometer read 80, which might cause that tire to come apart...

No, the tire speed rating has to do with heat. THe tire does not
heat up spinning
OK I'll bite, you're saying that if you put the rear axle up, the rear
wheel will spin at twice the speed?
How does that work? The magic 2 speed diff option?
The input speed into the diff is the same at 80 but the output doubles?
That's great, I am going to take one of the tires of the back and

ooohh that would drive me nuts.
My truck had that sort of thing going on, new steer tires and everyhting
is good but seeing that you have had tires replaced, we can discount that.
Have you checked your wheel bearings, I suppose you would have at some
stage in 13 years.
Wheel alignment?

I would add that MB transmissions rarely fail before 250,000 miles if
maintained, so you have wear on the gear train and clutch drums much
more so that in a GM, which usually bites the dust at around 100,000.
The result is that you must check ALL the parts, not just slap in a new
set of

dealt with during a rebuild.
