If you have the plastic socket ends, try to replace them with metal. I was
able to get some new from MB after much EPC research, but I have also found
them at the junk yard on the 123 126 diesels. Note each rod has
left-hand threads one end, right-hand at other end.
Max Dillon,
I put a set on the front of my former 1982 300SD and I regretted it every time
I drove the car.
I would advise against using the HDs under just about any circumstance.

For the Cummins trucks, it _still_ looks like you get every

It also means looking over things on a regular basis. As a car ages you need

Should be no problem. The Crucial drive I bought is a 2.5 drive for a laptop,
I had to buy an adapter to put it into my PC.
It came with an adapter to put it in an older laptop that uses a slightly
larger drive.
The two highest rated I saw when I was shopping were Crucial and Samsung.

Check your battery area for rust. Crappy windshield installation would

More likely a sunroof drain. The windshield is glued in, they rarely
leak unless the body is bent or there is rust starting.
Check both front and rear -- the rear drain is in the C pillar.

I always liked the 2610 gram triple beam Ohaus. (need accessory weights to go
over 610g)
Many years back I found an Ohaus triple beam in a local thrift shop for
about $15. Needless to say I glommed it. As a former Chem major and lab
tech I have an obsession for precision measuring instruments. Yet most of
my weighing is done on a classic vintage Soehnle kitchen scale; most
