Re: [MBZ] Low temp starting
Hi Dimitri, Boston, I didn't know you were in Boston, are you always in Boston? It has been cold but I don't want to hear bitterly from Boston... I work in Tewksbury but live about 50 miles west, its always ~10 degrees warmer in Tewks than at home and the radio says its warmer in Boston still... My cars get a bottle of Diesel Kleen every fall to clean out any water and help prevent gelling. When I first got my 190D it would start and run but wouldn't make any power. I let it idle for an hour and then it was fine... I went directly to a gas station and left the car running while I fueled up, then went to Autozone and again left it running while I got a can of Diesel Suppliment (which is supposed to have better anti-gel properties) and put in the whole can (supposed to treat 250 gallons) never had an issue again. -Curt -Curt Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 20:51:31 -0800 (PST) From: Dimitri Seretakis dsereta...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Low temp starting To: Mercedes Discussion List mercedes@okiebenz.com Message-ID: 155436.82298...@web36902.mail.mud.yahoo.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Well, I had similar problem this am with a 240D which I just bought.?

Re: [MBZ] Low temp starting
Curt, that 190D should have a fuel heater. Idling should feed enough warm fuel back to the tank to warm things up nicely. I think it would be fun to get an extra sensor for the outside temp display and set it up to switch between outdoor temp and fuel tank temp.

[MBZ] a guy trys hard NOT to sell a car
Find a car I want to buy on craigslist. Its a long ways away, about 10 hours, but if its decent its worth it. Its got 1 crappy pic and very little description. So I email the guy and ask him if he has any additional pics he can email and if it leaks or burns anything. He replies back saying it leaks and burns everything, its an old diesel. No mention of pics. Ok, so I email him back and basically say, OK, no pics, how is the body, interior etc, any rust issues? Coming a long way and want to get more info before coming to get it. He replies back t his morning that I should not bother coming to get it, he is sure he will have it sold to somebody local pretty soon. WOW, Ok, that beats all I have ever saw. Why do people list something then do not try very hard at all to sell it? Anyway, if somebody is near this car and wants to look at it for me and possibly take it to their place till I can get there to get it let me know. Or, if somebody else wants it I guess thats OK too, after all, I am supposed to be on a buying freeze. 1991 Mercedes 300D (diesel) 4DR Reply to: sale-994154...@craigslist.org Date: 2009-01-15, 1:35PM This workhorse gets 40 plus miles per gallon.

Re: [MBZ] Interesting Mercedes on Barrett Jackson
It all depends on the provenance and the paperwork/photos.

Re: [MBZ] TRAILER block heater for Chris
Yeah that is the intended use. My Grandfather drove a standard 5 ton box truck in Germany. He usually pulled a two axle trailer with the steerable front axle. In some of the places he went, the only way to easily get the trailer in was to hook it to the hitch on the front of the truck. Backing up one of those trailers is a whole nuther level of hard. I don't have any problems with regular trailers but I still haven't gotten very good with the three axle front steering trailer that I made. Gonna take a lot more practice there. Manfred Date: Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:34:37 -0600 From: R A Bennell b...@mts.net Subject: Re: [MBZ] TRAILER block heater for Chris I think people use the front receiver mount because they find it easier to maneuver a trailer driving forward rather than trying to back up. I have never tried it myself and it does not sound like it would be that much better. I suppose it might give a tighter turning circle given the front wheels of the vehicle would turn quicker than the back end. Sort of the reverse of a boat which essentially steers from the back rather than the front as with a car. Randy -- next part -- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [MBZ] transmission repair factory PDF
I'm holding off on the tools till I figure out exactly what I need. Baum tools has a Mercedes Transmission tools section in their catalog. Seems like most are for 722.6+ transmissions. Then there are some simple tools that are useful with any trans (various pics, etc). Will have my Bavarian friend Paul price all the MB trans tools I need. Might be cheaper to buy them in Germany and ship them here than buy them from an importer...should probably check ebay.de for Getriebe Werkzeug Mercedes - transmission tool Mercedes.

A friend and I would go to the movies in a neighboring dorm dressed like that (the classrooms we used for movie night got quite warm with a few hundred bodies in them). So we'd be calmly walking along in shorts and sandals, sometimes it might be 0-10 degrees F on a clear night, and see what comments it would draw. Most common was Where are you guys from, Alaska or something? I always let Stan answer that one: Coastal Texas, actually.

Re: [MBZ] Attn Curt
I can't speak for Maine, but there are states out there that do not require a title on vehicles older than a certain age. When it's that old, all you need is a bill of sale.

Already had that, thanks to my Dad who used to use it on olde Beetle rear hubs. Was the first time I'd used that, though! You will need an assortment of internal/external ring pliers and an assortment of pics (think dental instruments). Used some pipe fittings to compress the ~ 16 springs that are part of the front pump. While this was all on a 722.4xx box I don't think the .3xx is much different, other than in how the governor locking mechanism works- a rotating paw in the .3xx, an internal clip on the .4xx There are special tools to establish proper gaps in each of the clutch packs. The new friction discs are a set thickness but you set the exact gap by replacing the steels- these are available in variable thicknesses. On mine the B3 discs (reverse) were the most worn. In that set there was perceptable wear in the steels- of the total increase in gap of the whole set about 15% was due to wear of the steels. But since there was no excessive discoloration of the steel I reused them. My thought was that OK this time the tranny may only go another 200k instead of the 300k it went the first time. And there was a differance- reverse took about a half second to engage instead of being nearly instantaneous. But given that it USED to take 3-5 seconds I was OK with that!

Re: [MBZ] transmission repair factory PDF
I've got almost all that already. There is a very nice spring compressor that you can buy which looks really handy. Yes, the 722.4 and .3 are very similar. They are covered in the same ASTG rebuild manual that I bought... http://www.atsg.biz/cgi-bin/shopper.cgi?search=actioncategory=EIMPkeywords=allpricecode=passsubnum= So, you obviously rebuilt a 722.4 - did you have any trans rebuilding experience before you did it? Did you use a manual to guide you through? If so, which one? It's amazing that the clutch disks last as long as they do. Now that I have a bit of a clue how the automatic trans works, I've changed my view on them a bit. They don't really break at 200,000 miles the wear pieces just wear out. Of course, the hard parts can break, but that is not usually the case, it seems.

Already had that, thanks to my Dad who used to use it on olde Beetle rear hubs. Was the first time I'd used that, though! You will need an assortment of internal/external ring pliers and an assortment of pics (think dental instruments). Used some pipe fittings to compress the ~ 16 springs that are part of the front pump. While this was all on a 722.4xx box I don't think the .3xx is much different, other than in how the governor locking mechanism works- a rotating paw in the .3xx, an internal clip on the .4xx There are special tools to establish proper gaps in each of the clutch packs. The new friction discs are a set thickness but you set the exact gap by replacing the steels- these are available in variable thicknesses. On mine the B3 discs (reverse) were the most worn. In that set there was perceptable wear in the steels- of the total increase in gap of the whole set about 15% was due to wear of the steels. But since there was no excessive discoloration of the steel I reused them. My thought was that OK this time the tranny may only go another 200k instead of the 300k it went the first time. And there was a differance- reverse took about a half second to engage instead of being nearly instantaneous. But given that it USED to take 3-5 seconds I was OK with that!

sounds a bit low, but I don't see the mileage. The one's I've looked at are all 6 cylinder models, ranging from '97 to '00, with anywhere from 100,000-150,000. Prices here for nice clean ones seems to be between $7000-11,000, asking. One I'm looking at is from a small dealer, with 100,000 kms on it. It's an '00 and he's asking $10,500 with a one year, 12,000kms warranty included. Not sure what I'll offer yet, but it seems like a nice example.

As someone who almost went to grad school to study 20th-century metaphysics and philosophy of mind, I can't let this go by without comment. Tyler, you've already strayed in this discussion far out of physics per se into philosophy of science, not that there's anything wrong with that! However, the formalist point of view you're advocating (that scientific theories do not describe real entities but rather models consistent with repeatable observation) certainly cannot be generalized in the way you just have without opening the door to an awfully thorny can of metaphysical worms (mixed metaphor very much intentional!). You're glossing over centuries of debate, going back at least to the Enlightenment empiricists (Locke, Hume, Berkeley) in the 17th century, through Wittgenstein in the mid-20th, and beyond. I for one am not at all prepared to abandon wholesale the ontological distinctions among reality, my perceptions of it, and my mental constructs resulting therefrom; I find those distinctions useful, congenial, and well-founded. Many of our perceptions do form patterns to which it is convenient to give names; but let us not confuse the pattern with the thing perceived, lest we put the ontological cart before the horse and begin to think that patterns we have invented out of whole cloth are themselves as real as the perceived ones or the things themselves. For example, I would argue (1) that the computer on which I'm typing this is a real, physical entity; (2) that the computational process going on which puts letters on the screen as I type is not an entity at all, but solely a convenient way to group some of my perceptions (and those of the programmers who wrote the software); and (3) that the numerals on the clock at the bottom of the screen represent real but nonphysical entities, the natural numbers, which (just like the laptop) exist independently of my perception of them---but all three of those assertions are debatable and have been debated by philosophers in recent memory.

[MBZ] hauled back that 190E 5 speed
Well removing the gas cap reveals really old gas, I bet the pump is stuck by now, been sitting. Also, mice have chewed up some wires under the hood, including an ignition wire. Dont know if it would start even push starting it. Also has rust so its a parts car for sure. But, the seats seem pretty nice. I will say the duramax really didnt even know there was a car loaded on that trailer. I guess I am used to hauling 140 500SEL, those are some HEAVY cars. They hang off the back of the trailer. The 190 had lots of room left over. -- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] physics and such
I wouldn't be surprised to find BOTH engines sheared off; they're usually (often, anyway) held on by only two bolts/pins (one on top toward the front, one toward the rear) that shear before tearing a wing off. This was the case with ones that I used to be intimate with, anyway - B-47's and B-52's and others that I've seen in photos. Shearing the engines off helps keep it from flipping up and over, etc. If right engine is still on it or held on a little longer may be what made the aircraft turn sharply to the right after it hit the water. Better for the engines to shear off than to cause more/bigger problems. BTW, remember the engine sheared off the aircraft crashed on the ground several days ago? They actually shear fairly easily - the pins/bolts I'm talking about easily carry the weight of the engine and impart thrust to the aircraft, but are relatively weak to sudden impact shear forces.

When are they going to start lower the prices of food back down? Filled up my 100 gal tank on the trunk today at 2.03. Gas just went up to 1.69 so I figured diesel would probably go up too.

There was nobody in the state of maine that would have been allowed to take them, so it was either come with us, or be slip up and live with strangers. Mitch Haley wrote: Kaleb C.
