Re: [MBZ] OT Metric temperatures
I've experienced 153 deg F, wearing 70 lbs of body armor and a side arm, during a training exercise. That was hot. I learned on that day that after the temperature exceeds about 125, the number becomes meaningless, and no matter how much hotter it got it still felt like about 125.

Re: [MBZ] Parenthood
Still cheaper than a black-market baby, which is over $75k now I'll bet. We started an education IRA for our daughter, which back then was limited to $2k per year contributions but extremely flexible about spending limitations. I intended to use some to pay for private high school if needed, but Congress caved in to the teachers unions and eliminated that ability, so it can only be used for college now. Still very flexible, so we'll keep contributing. -Max -Original Message- From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Donald Snook Sent: Friday, September 03, 2010 8:43 AM To: 'Mercedes@okiebenz.com' Subject: Re: [MBZ] Parenthood Rolf wrote: "True that.

Re: [MBZ] Parenthood
How will you learn to change a diaper Donald? When my wife was expecting, we took some pre-birth education classes at the hospital, and the nurse who taught the class (also was our delivering nurse which was very cool) covered not only all the pregnancy and delivery stuff but also what I'll call 'new parent 101' which included feeding and diaper changing. One of the things this nurse said about beer that I'll never forget. She breast-fed all three of her kids, and her way to enjoy a beer was to drink the beer while breast feeding, because the milk expressed would be alcohol free (it was made before the alcohol hit the blood stream) and the next batch of milk wouldn't be made until after the alcohol had been metabolized, so she didn't share any beer with the baby. -Max -Original Message- From: mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com [mailto:mercedes-boun...@okiebenz.com] On Behalf Of Rolf Sent: Friday, September 03, 2010 8:54 AM To: Mercedes Discussion List Subject: Re: [MBZ] Parenthood Just you wait for the diapers.

We got some high surf yesterday, washed out a bit of Folly Beach at high tide. I went down to the Kiawah beach yesterday evening a couple hours after high tide, was not much happening.

But is is a stationary engine, not farhtzoid (sp) do it would probably need at least a 7 speed trand to really take advantage of its capability. I'd guess in the rest of the world, Isuzu makes this engine for vehicular use, and that type would work with normal transmissions. On a more practical basis, find a crunched Sprinter, and put the 2.7L MB in your pickup, or put in an OM603. It won't win any races, but it will be more economical. If you worked on lowering drag and weight, you could get some MPG gains too I can't figger out why nobody will offer a lightweight 2.5 to 3.5 L inline turbodiesel in the light truck market. I sure see a lot of Sprinters. I know people like the lower operating cost of a Sprinter vs 400CID v-8 Deetriot iron.

[MBZ] OT electrical connection for outboard motor
I'm getting our sailboat ship-shape after four years of outdoor storage, and the battery cable that runs from the battery (inside the hull) to the outboard motor needs to be replaced. The boat came with a real "There I fixed it!" solution, which is a heavy cable from the battery mated to a extension cord 30amp locking plug, with the opposite gender plug attached at the end of the cable coming from the motor. By disconnecting this plug, the motor can be removed if needed. Do any of you Sailors know what/where to get the correct connection hardware? Heavy cable is not a problem - I'm planning to use a jumper cable. I'd like to get back to a more original electrical connection between the outboard engine and the battery, assuming it won't cost me an arm and a leg.

Re: [MBZ] 119mpg claim, no its not a CL ad
My "new" 2004 Focus wagon has been gradually approaching 25 mpg in 100% city driving. Last tank was 24.8 MPG. I'm really interested to see what will happen after I get the ATF replaced with Mobil 1 ATF. I'm betting I can get over 30 MPG on a full highway tank... It's nothing special but it's reliable as heck and cheap to maintain. The local Ford dealer does oil changes with an OEM synth/dino blend and tire rotation for $26. I can't buy a jug of Mobil 1 and a filter for that.

Re: [MBZ] 119mpg claim, no its not a CL ad
My take is thus. They bloat the engine with emissions crap, that reduces fuel economy, so you make more (total) emissions then if you didn't have the emissions crap. Mind you some of the nitrides and sulpher compounds are reduced and/or eliminated, which can be argued to be a good thing by most, but when you end up burning twice as much fuel to get from point A to point Z, it's worse in my mind than having a few ppm more crud in the exhaust stream. As for diesel electric hybrids, I'm hoping to see one come out. And not ones like that Toy-Pri transfer case crud either... I might just nab another ram 50, a 615, and an electric forklift motor...

Re: [MBZ] OT electrical connection for outboard motor
Boat motors will normally just have a heavy cable coming out of the housing and going to the battery with a normal battery post clamp on the end. Usually with a big wing nut to permit removal of the cable. I don't think that is going to fit your purpose if you wish to be able to remove the motor without taking all of the cable back to the battery. Let me suggest you stop by a welding supply shop. You should be able to buy heavy cable there by the foot as well as inline connectors that are used for extension of the welding cables.

Re: [MBZ] OT electrical connection for outboard motor
Good idea - thanks Randy. Yes - the battery cable goes through a water tight hull penetration and then another 5 feet or so to the battery, so pulling the whole cable to remove the motor is not an option.

Re: [MBZ] OT electrical connection for outboard motor
I just searched and purchased 10' of wiring for an upgraded RV power converter. the cheapest I found was here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001550DVU/ref=oss_product Although others complained about corroded wire, mine arrived tinned on the end with no connector. It is 4 ga. wire, so plenty for the max 70 A. output of the converter. Be advised though that the marine grade cables I also looked at are tinned the full length to avoid corrosion.

Watch for white smoke on startup -- when cold, the water in the coolant will make copious white smoke until the engine warms up. Check for cold pressure in the coolant tank, also traces of oil And check for coolant in the AC drains -- it's not impossible for the heater core or header to leak. Check weep hole on the bottom of the water pump (a huge pain on that car) since it may only leak while running down the road.

One of the things this nurse said about beer that I'll never forget. She breast-fed all three of her kids, and her way to enjoy a beer was to drink the beer while breast feeding, because the milk expressed would be alcohol free (it was made before the alcohol hit the blood stream) and the next batch of milk wouldn't be made until after the alcohol had been metabolized, so she didn't share any beer with the baby. -Max ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Re: [MBZ] 91 350SDL trirsty
Replace the radiator cap. These engines "burp" badly with no pressurization, and if you have a bad cap, it's gonna belch coolant when shut off hot, only for a few minutes. the overflow tank will get too full because there is no suction back into the reservoir due to the bad cap, and you loose coolant. If you drive on the highway and pull into a rest stop and shut it off without cooling it down, it will blow coolant out of the overflow tank. You should also do a pressure test to make sure the tank is not cracked. I've also seen the swage break off the filler neck so that the cap won't seal even if good. This caused my 300D to overheat in the mountains on the interstate, only on a hot day.
