Re: [MBZ] More differentials HIJACK

I'm with Max. What is the ratio now, and what do you want to accomplish by changing the diff/ratio? Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes December 5, 2016 at 6:02 PM Any opinions on whether a 2.65 from a 124 300d would be a worthwhile swap into the e420? A 3.07 or whatever

Re: [MBZ] More differentials HIJACK

What was the original diff ratio? Spreadsheet I have from Dave M. says 2.24, and only the E420 has that ratio. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Dec 5, 2016 at 7:02 PM, Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Any opinions on whether a 2.65 from a 124 300d would be a

Re: [MBZ] More differentials HIJACK

Any opinions on whether a 2.65 from a 124 300d would be a worthwhile swap into the e420? A 3.07 or whatever out of a 450 would be better, but some internal swapping is required. On Dec 1, 2016 5:48 AM, "Dan--- via Mercedes" wrote: > Again, while even if I have proof that fluids were done recentl

Re: [MBZ] More differentials

Again, while even if I have proof that fluids were done recently, I still do it. It's cheap insurance and again it gives you a point of reference you're absolutely sure is accurate. It also forces you to look at and inspect stuff you might not necessarily look at otherwise. The power steering

This is the pump I use for filling differentials. Makes filling them crazy simple: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FJT0304/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Two fills and I'm done. The 300D took me all of maybe 10-15 minutes tops, not including the time I left it to drain. Dan

Re: [MBZ] More differentials

Absolutely. Gives me a point of reference so I know for sure when fluids are due and exactly what fluids are in it. Dan > On Dec 1, 2016, at 12:44 AM, clay via Mercedes wrote: > > I always change fluids when I get a fresh car. Saves questions later > > clay > > >> On Nov 30, 2016, at 7:43

Re: [MBZ] More differentials

So it was probably like mine, out of sight out of mind and you never checked the level or changed the oil like I am guilty of. One thing is certain I am changing the diff oil in all my cars. Seems poos came up with a pump or something to make it easier. I am also signing up for AAA Sent from

Sudden, and it was dry. Driving home from airport one night, was about five miles out and then BANG and it started making awful noise. I drove it another ten miles slowly and then pulled over and called a tow. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On November 30, 2016 10:17:25 PM EST

Re: [MBZ] More differentials

So what happened to yours? Was it all the sudden? Or was it making noise for a while? Was it dry or did it have plenty of oil in it? Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 30, 2016, at 8:25 PM, Max Dillon via Mercedes > wrote: > > Yes, that was a couple years ago. ASD made it special, in my '95 sedan.

Re: [MBZ] More differentials

Yes, that was a couple years ago. ASD made it special, in my '95 sedan. Car-part.com, place in Tennessee I think, $300 or so. Paid my Indy another couple hundred to install it. Dave M. made up a spreadsheet with all the differential variations, but I don't know if that included the 210 model
