Re: [MBZ] 5.5 hour differential ordeal

my experience is that they last forever if you keep grease in em and check the level a couple times a year. (do as I say, not as I do!) They run pretty long even with minimal grease in them. no bearing lasts long at high speeds without lube. Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes

[MBZ] Carpet color change

Polei has a grey interior. I got the door panels sprayed green for the transmogrification from SDL to police car. A few weeks ago I pillaged the gold carpet out of a 500SEL. The lower carpets still had the plastic protective covers that should have been removed when the car was sold. So,

The Original WWII willys jeep was oversquare, and torquey. Not much hp, but stump pulling gears and torque. High HP/cc engines tend to have low torque. Mitch Haley via Mercedes November 30, 2016 at 9:33 AM Back in the day, oversquare was the recipe for power.

Re: [MBZ] 5.5 hour differential ordeal

Well it depends on what the rear ratio is. If it's a 96 it's non turbo and mine is turbo. I got to get under it and see what ratio it says it is as I get conflicting info online. Shop yes. Lift yes, lift set in place and partially assembled. Not bolted to the floor yet and not electric or air

Re: [MBZ] OT Plane crash

"A female controller could be heard giving instructions as the aircraft lost speed and altitude about eight miles from the Medellin airport. Just before going silent the pilot said he was flying at an altitude at 9,000 feet." 9000' AGL should be an easy enough glide for only 8 miles, assuming you

Re: [MBZ] OT Plane crash

That would be 9000' MSL - mean sea level. I don't have a clue what the ground level altitude is there, nor what was between them and the airport. On Wed, Nov 30, 2016 at 5:55 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > "A female controller could be heard giving instructions as

Re: [MBZ] Fl MiniQ

Hmmm - after I install the new alternator belt I'll find out how far to 100' AGL. I know that I can get off the ground in 800', but haven't tried to find the 100' AGL distance. On Wed, Nov 30, 2016 at 5:05 PM, MG via Mercedes wrote: > Yep. Just south of Hawthorne, Fl. If

Re: [MBZ] OT Plane crash

They would have been descending from 30,000-35,000 feet typically for awhile. They wouldn't want to be too high that close to the airport. Some jets have APUs (auxiliary power unit) that might or might not have it's own fuel supply, but I don't know what the operating procedures are for them. On

Re: [MBZ] OT Plane crash

They had circled the airport several times, as the weather was crappy and Medellin is a real nightmare of an airport to fly in and out of due to elevation and the presence of mountains, I believe. It’s 7,027 feet AMSL. Dan On Nov 30, 2016, at 8:10 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes
