Re: [MBZ] OT Ford F250 6.9L diesel
This one is a 2WD as well. For those times when the Dodge's 6'3" bed isn't quite big enough, it would be nice, and when a 4WD is needed, the Dodge is at the ready. They'll compliment each other nicely.

Re: [MBZ] OT Ford F250 6.9L diesel
I had a rebuilt IP put on my '85 6.9L F350 about 10 years ago, and it cost me $500. I would have expected quite a price increase over 10 years. According to the ad, the truck has a nice body and even has a shell on it (canopy to us Oregonians), so it should be worth the money unless the engine's hosed. I'll have to check to see if there's oil in the coolant or vice versa. The '85 had both before the rebuild. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to buy this '86.

I wish it was a 4x4. But it's ok. Down at the mechanic for a new fuel tank and sender and then reworking the left rear brake. I can't see how injection system work would cost $1100. Injectors are about $12-15ea, the return line/o-ring kit is $30, and if you MUST, the hard injector lines run about $60.

The return lines are plastic caps on the injectors w/o-rings, and the braided cloth covered rubber hose. Check with your local Bosch center, I bet a rebuild on the pump would be less than $500.

[MBZ] Ignition switch malfunction, taking lock assembly out
As I mentioned previously, we were having electrical problems with our 1982 240D/3.0 in Iowa and on the way back to New Mexico. I finally took things apart today and found the actuating tangs on the lock assembly that turn the electrical switch were broken. I took pictures so those interested might see the process. Lt. Don (aka Wonko) graciously put them on his web page at http://don.homelinux.net/~don/craig/ The captions are: Picture 01 Disconnect battery Safety first! 02 Remove underdash cover The rest of the removal is harder. 03 Push instrument cluster out Easy, once the underdash cover is out. 04 Remove instrument cluster Instrument cluster already out. Required disconnecting speedometer cable, disconnecting oil pressure line (10 mm), electrical wires, indicator lamp sockets for seat belt (green/black) and glow plugs (blue/white), and plug at left side of cluster. Note the brown wires just to the left of the bottom center of the opening - those are the ground connections that cause flaky instrument operation. Now's the time to clean them. 05 Remove ignition lock Turn to position 1 and insert special "tool". 06 Reinstall cylinder without cover Needed to make sure lock assembly stays in position 1. 07 Loosen lock assembly clamp Underneath dash, 10 mm as well. 08 Depress locking pin Secures lock assembly to steering column. Can only be depressed with ignition in position 1. 09 Remove vacuum lines When reconnecting, which one goes where is important. The one with blue strip is closest to lock. 10 Lock assembly out You're supposed to be able to get the plug off the back with the lock assembly still in place, but I couldn't get it off. Some fiddling to get the thing in the right orientation to drop out below the dash. The vacuum switch bumps up against the heater box. 11 Lock assembly disconnected Note the oblong-shaped hole in the middle of the connector. This fits a rotating projection in the ignition switch (shown in picture 12) so the connector can be removed with the switch only in one position (off? position 1?). If the plug is not fully inserted, the rotating projection could snag the edge of the hole and cause the damage observed later. 12 Switch end of lock assembly Notice the oblong nylon projection in the middle of the switch. This rotates as the key is turned. 13 Switch removed from lock assy The three screws the factory manual mentions. They are not, however, accessable with the electrical plug on the back of the switch. 14 Broken actuating tang The reason we were having problems getting the electrical switch to function properly as we were coming back from Iowa. The piece in the far slot is actually supposed to be attached to the lock assembly (as shown in picture 15). 15 Switch Actuator-broken tangs The broken part of the switch actuation mechanism. This requires replacement of the entire locking assembly.

Re: [MBZ] More on Weird vacuum problem -- perplexion
So now I am wondering if it is the master cylinder is not working right? I bled all the hose fittings and the drain on the MC, clean fluid squirted out. New calipers out back, fronts seem OK, so don't think anything is wrong with them. Brakes do brake, just real hard push on the pedal reqd. Did you fill the MC so that the rear reservoir got full?? Don't let the dirt line fool you.? Also, if you bled the brakes by pumping them, there is a very real chance that the MC piston seals were damaged, unless you blocked the pedel so the pistons would not travel into an unpolished area.?

Re: [MBZ] Post Falls SL
I installed the new ignition parts. That took longer than expected, partly because the new wires were longer than the old, partly to remove the band-aids I'd installed before, partly because the plug wire clamp to the passenger side was falling apart, and partly just because I'm slow. I kept the sleeve over the coil wire, I figured that one can't hurt. I found a too-short bolt holding the air horn down, it stripped out the one thread it had 'bitten', so I found a longer screw to replace it with. (I was checking to see that it wasn't loose.) Though cold, the car started with less than a second of cranking. Serious improvement! During a few errands today it started a bit more normally, that is, after a few seconds of cranking, so it's still cold-blooded. We'll see over the next few days if its extreme starting difficulty has been cured or not. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

People are strange. I collect (well, really accumulate) fountain pens, and some yahoo on one of the discussion groups won a rather nice solid gold Sheaffer Snorkel on eBay, and then SENT THE PEN BACK because it was shipped a week later than he expected (and overseas, too!). He had the temerity to complain about getting negative feedback from the seller after leaving a "flamer" negative feedback himself! Not quite clear on the concept, eh? I don't suppose he thought that getting something shipped overseas insured is a routine matter for a private seller. Enough to make you swear of contact with other humans sometimes!

Yes, but the driver's side is a royal pain. Hex socket screws, and no clearance. You MUST get the driver all the way down into the screw, or it will strip! Two ways to approach this: Cut off an allen driver so you can get it there (works most of the time) OR jack up the engine and remove the carrier arm (four bolts on the block) and remove it for access.

[MBZ] Motor mounts, OM617
Installed my new air cleaner bracket today on my 300D. I ordered motor mounts at the same time, but it was too late in the day to start that job, considering it's not one I've done before. Something unexpected always seems to come up when I do a particular repair for the first time. Even with the air cleaner bracket, for example, I had a lot of trouble with the bottom bolt. Despite trying to be careful and using a lot of PB Blaster, when I got it out it looked like it it had taken a few threads with it. So -- had to stop what I was doing and make a run to the hardware store for a new bolt, also got a tap to chase out the bore and hopefully clean up the threads enough for it to hold. It did seem to go back together OK. Also did not know I had to unfasten the oil line flange on the turbocharger in order to change the bracket. I did not have a new gasket for the flange so reassembled with the existing one. It looked OK, did not tear or anything when I pulled the flange off. Anyway -- looking at the motor mounts and comparing them to the new ones, I'd say the ones on the car definitely look flat. Can anyone write up a quick how-to on the R&R? Looks like there is a center bolt that goes in from the bottom and two bolts that hold the mount to the subframe. Do I just pull those two center bolts, raise the motor a little, and then unbolt and replace the mounts?

Re: [MBZ] Losing coolant, somewhere
Replace your radiator cap. A bad one allows coolant to boil out when the engine is stopped hot. Also check for a leaking upper radiator hose, especially the hose nipple on the radiator, as they get brittle and crack. Will only leak intermittantly. Also, if there is ANY coolant in the weep holes on the water pump, replace it.

[MBZ] Losing coolant, somewhere
Noticed the temperature starting to climb while I was at a stoplight today in my 300D. Got up to 115 or so. Underway it came back down. Pulled into a parking lot and checked the coolant reservoir, sure enough it's empty. I usually glance at it whenever I check oil but it's not that easy to see the level since the fluid is about the same color as the reservoir, so I might not have noticed it getting low. Happened to be near a Pep Boys so I bought a bottle of Zerex G-05 and at the K-Mart next door got a gallon of drinking water. Added about 3 quarts of 50:50 to get the reservoir back up to normal. About a year ago I did have some leaks around the thermostat housing, at that time I could see coolant on the garage floor when I backed out in the mornings. Fixed that and have not noticed any since. No evidence of a head gasket leak -- when I got home I changed the oil since it was due anyway, and there was no sign of coolant in the oil, and no oil in the coolant that I could see. I'll keep a close eye on it to see if it continues to lose coolant; can anyone think of any other likely sources of leakage, that might not be obvious?

Re: [MBZ] swapping OM617's
What's up with Wulf? If he has serious problems, it may be worth wile to swap engines if it's possible (300TD has a 617.952 while the 300sD has a 617.951). If the 300Dt is nice, sell it as a whole. Judging by the fact that you want to keep Wulf, he must be a nice car. I like my '83 300SD with 267Kmi on it.

Re: [MBZ] OT Ford F250 6.9L diesel
If it's leaking fuel to the great outdoors, it's not the injector nozzles. yes, fuel is leaking to the outside, and this is the reason I'm interested since the problem is external. I suppose it's possible that a seal in the IP is leaking which could require some serious fundage to replace. There are plastic tee's on the injectors with rubber return lines connected to them. This is a common place for leaks just like it is with old Mercedes return lines. The truck does run and drive despite the fuel leak. It's in the next town over, probably worth driving it and taking the chance unless it's leaking enough to leave a nice diesel fuel slick behind it and endanger other cars on the road.

Re: [MBZ] OT?: OBDII Scanner
trying to find a scanner that will work with my '93 Isuzu Trooper, supposedly OBD compatible because it used GMC engine electronics. That's strange since it has the 3.2L DOHC Isuzu V6. I know that the earlier Troopers/Rodeos used the 2.8L and 3.1L GM V6's. Right now, there are two Rodeo's in the family fleet, a '91 3.1 and a '95 3.2, both with around 200Kmi on them. Which one do you think will last longer? I'm betting on the 3.1L since it makes far less engine noise. Of course, the 3.2L engines were never really quiet to begin with.

Just buy the cheapest. OBDI is another matter. It was never really standardized the way OBDII was... every manufacturer used its own connector and signal protocol. I've been through this trying to find a scanner that will work with my '93 Isuzu Trooper, supposedly OBD compatible because it used GMC engine electronics. No dice with anything short of a Snap-On model that goes for $500+ on Ebay. I settled for a Actron model that both does OBDII and also comes with three cables for Ford, GM, and Chrysler OBDI cars. Think it cost me about $250. Won't talk to the Isuzu, but has worked fine with my '86 Lincoln and a friend's '91 Cutlass.

Re: [MBZ] OT?: OBDII Scanner
I see Pep Boys advertise 2 or 3 models starting at $50 or so, going up higher. Not sure what the diff is among them. I have seen other places advertise similar items at similar prices, I guess it depends on features. You might also be able to build one of your own that fits a Palm Pilot or laptop, get a cable to connect it to them and some software (which I think was free from some guys who made it). Search for those things, I looked at a couple a year or so ago, did not bookmark them. As I recall the cable was about $50, that's what got me thinking to buy one of those cheap things that has the connector and then get the software and hook it all up. --R Rick Knoble wrote: > Who makes a good, easy to use OBD/OBDII scanner? > > Thanks, > Rick Knoble > '85 300 CD > '87 190 DT > > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ > For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > > > > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] W126 suspension questions - front shocks, rear springs
Rusty rents the appropriate spring compressor. It rents for ~$95 IIRC - it sells for almost $1000 - again IIRC - the price gives some indication of the amount of engineering and quality fabrication is needed to *SAFELY* compress MB springs. The MB springs are not like lesser cars - the kinds of springs compressors used and sold will not safely compress the MB springs. Don;t want you to get hurt (or worse) to save a few bucks. Not sure about the shocks -- you can look on Rustys website to see if the pn's match - www.buymbparts.com - can't hurt to look - Good luck -- Larry T (67 MGB, 74 911, 78 240D, 91 300D) www.youroil.net for Oil Analysis and Weber Parts Test Results http://members.rennlist.com/oil PORSCHE POSTERS! youroil.net Weber Carb Info http://members.rennlist.com/webercarbs . - Original Message - From: "Steve MacSween" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mercedes List" Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2007 1:32 PM Subject: [MBZ] W126 suspension questions - front shocks, rear springs > Number 1 - does anyone know if it's true you can use the front shocks with > the Bilstein part # for a w116, on a w126?

Re: [MBZ] Weird vacuum problem
Puffing back and forth is a failed check valve - if the pump itself was bad it wouldn't pull any air in. Oil in the lines makes me think check valves, too (the ones on the pump, that is, not the one for the booster). However, your booster should not vent down completely on one pedal push, you should get three or four before it's compeletely dead..

[MBZ] Weird vacuum problem
79 300TD I redid the brakes a couple weeks ago, new rear calipers, bled out all old fluid, etc. Worked really fine. A few days ago, no brake boost, or rather, a bit of boost at first pedal push then nothing), slow turning off. Checked all the vac lines, looked OK. Drove it again today, same problems. So put the vac meter on the line, getting about 22in vac, OK, push the brake pedal, goes down to like 5in or so, really low, and no boost, builds back slowly. So pumped down the booster with the mity vac, same thing (which maybe I would expect since no constant vac on it). (This says the booster is probably OK, not leaking vac? Or maybe since that check valve is in there it could be leaking down in the booster? The check valve is stuck in the hose really tightly, can't get it out with destroying it so hard to test the booster straightaway.) Put the vac gauge on with engine running, getting 22in vac, push the brake, goes down low again but does not build up, then vac needle going crazy bouncing between vac and pressure. Whussup wif dat? Took off the gauge and sho nuff you can feel huffing/puffing and no constant suction. Weird, it just did that. Maybe doing it before too. So now I'm thinking the vac pump must be acting up again (I have rebuilt it twice now). but since I was getting a good vac there for awhile I am thinking those little one way valves inside the vac pump must be clogged or inop or something? That sound like a good diagnosis? Think if I suck on each hose coming right from the pump, or maybe blow some air into them, that might do something (useful)? I am thinking the booster is probably OK, must be there in the vac pump somewhere. There is a bit of oil in the lines, I guess maybe that could be clogging things up. I am reluctant to take the vac pump off/apart again, though I am pretty good at it by now.

Re: [MBZ] W126 suspension questions - front shocks, rear springs
If you don't use a spring compressor you run a quite serious risk of killing yourself -- the suspension does not swing down far enough to decompress the spring, Don't know about the front shocks, but a W126 is significantly lighter than a W116 chassis, especially with a V8.

Re: [MBZ] 1980 300D Climate Control
Jim Cathy was kindly posted this Type II ACC amplifier data at: http://userweb.windwireless.net/~jimc/chryaccfh/chryaccfh.html so it is available to others. Be warned that there is more than one version of this circuit, but they are similar. For some reason, the schematic does not show well in a web browser so I recommend viewing it with a graphic app like Paint or MS Picture and Fax viewer. Scott Ritchey -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Douglas Sherman Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 21:24 To: Mercedes List Subject: [MBZ] 1980 300D Climate Control I want to thank the LIST for all the help repairing my climate control. I have been working anywhere from 6-8 hours a day on it for a week straight! Yesterday I went to the pick N pull to get the parts I needed to make a tester for the ACC Amp. The '79 that I was stripping had a amp and a original Servo, took the parts from the servo that I could use. Paid the exorborant price of $28.52 for the stuff I needed. Once home I decided that I would try the Amp. It worked perfectly!! I want to say that Scott really helped me tremedously! Many thanks Scott. I believe that the little Op Amp on the circuit board on both of the acc amps are bad. So my advice to you all is that when you see those original Servo's the amp probably hasn't gotten much use and might be good. And they fit in the pocket. I called Unwiredtools.com today and the support guy Steve gave me some ideas on my vacuum leak said it was probably the double vacuum servo for the defrost. My system leaks down within min. though with the contol panel to off it doesn't. Also at their web site they have a really nice electrical diagram for the climate control am going to scan and enlarge them to see if they are better to read. Scott the more I think about it I think that the OP amp on the ACC seems to short to the cold. Well thanks again.. hope to find that Vacuum leak.. soon..

[MBZ] W126 suspension questions - front shocks, rear springs
Number 1 - does anyone know if it's true you can use the front shocks with the Bilstein part # for a w116, on a w126? I have been told the shocks are identical in dimensions, though they are valved slightly differently. Number 2 - rear springs - if I am reading the material I have found on-line correctly, you can either: (A) drop the subframe mount and suspension arm slightly, take off the shock, and remove the caliper, then just take the spring out with NO compression, OR (B) leave the suspension in place and use a quality compression tool (with its arm going through the center of the plates) to remove the spring, with the caliper taken off for clearance.

Re: [MBZ] OT, TV's - Add DirectTV
Depends on how good a projector it is. A 40" LCD is just past $1100. A good projector starts at about $1000. Anything else is going to be tough to watch because the focus will be lumpy and brightness not so exciting. We've got a Nintendo Wii which is showing just how bad my old 19" tv is. I thought about doing the projector thing. Ours is a one story house so I could mount the projector in the ceiling with just a prisim in the living room. Then have a 60" screen what I could easily use my computer on. Turns out to do everything I wanted would take about a $3000 projector. Never mind the autodarkening shades... My livingroom is not so large, a 32" LCD tv (around $800) will be plenty. I *think* the rule of thumb is your max tv size is 3x the distance you can sit away from it. So if you want a 60" you need 180" or 15' of viewing distance. Anything else stresses your eyes and will make the tv overwhelm the room. A friend of a friend has a 60" tv in a room just a bit bigger than my living room, you can only get maybe 10' away from it. The screen is too big for that room, I feel the urge to move my head while I'm watching it. I find it fairly uncomfortable... -Curt Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2007 05:20:18 -0400 From: Mitch Haley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] OT, TV's - Add DirectTV To: Mercedes Discussion List Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I was at a friend's warehouse/lounge yesterday.

Turn on the projector, turn on the DVD player, turn on the sound system, and enjoy. I bet the whole thing cost less than a 40" LCD.

Re: [MBZ] U-pull haul
Thats what I've got for Dory too. BMW also supplies a nice jack with a lump on the top of the lifting plate. Presumably the lump fits into a dent on the car. I made a 2x6x6" block that I use between the jack and the car, the lump helps align the jack while getting the jack up to the level of the car. I traded a '91 Ford Tempo for 'em. I think both of us thought we got the better of the deal. -Curt Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 21:55:32 -0700 From: Redghost <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] U-pull haul To: Mercedes Discussion List Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed though not Benz, the bmw tool kits have the same crank type wrench.

Re: [MBZ] OT, TV's - Add DirectTV
I was at a friend's warehouse/lounge yesterday. He showed me his newest toy, a TV projector. On one side of the TV room, he's got two sofas. On the other side, a large (approx 15' wide) movie screen. Turn on the projector, turn on the DVD player, turn on the sound system, and enjoy. I bet the whole thing cost less than a 40" LCD. With direct sunlight on the windows and teh light filtering blinds closed, it was OK, but not very bright. He says it's fantastic when it's dark outside, and very good when it's cloudy.
