Probably, if one car is 4' high and the other is 3' high.
Or if you have a pair of Ford GT40s. (40 was the height of the car in inches)

[MBZ] My 300SD on The Americans

2014-05-04 Thread Jaime Kopchinski
Hi everyone,
We now have a celebrity car among us... my 1979 300SD was featured on this
week's episode of The Americans (Episode 10)... They showed the car
driving up, then a scene from the interior.  They even managed to capture
some of that nice diesel sound!

At least with a two post you only have to clear the tires (which will be hanging 
low). With a four post drive on lift, you have to clear the lift structure that 
the tires of the top car are sitting on.

Parking the top car on a drive-on lift would be a hassle.
Parking the top car on a two post lift would be a bigger hassle.

Re: [MBZ] My 300SD on The Americans

2014-05-04 Thread Andrew Strasfogel
It's an awesomely realistic and suspenseful series with great acting and
reasonable plot lines about a  pair of Soviet KGB agents embedded in the
USA, who proceed to have kids and live the American lifestyle in suburban
DC.  They do a great job pretending to be Americans, but as luck would have
it a crack FBI agent and his family move into the house next door...   I
believe it's on FX.  I missed the final episode of last season's series and
haven't watched it recently.  Kerry Russell is awesome as te female KGB
agent, and the actor who plays her husband is no less chilling...

Just came down off the roof after installing a solar attic fan.  Piece of cake

The thing with attic fans is that if you don't have excellent attic ventilation, 
the fan pulls a vacuum in the attic and cools the attic by pulling conditioned 
air from the house (which is replaced in the house by humid ambient air).

This is an awesomely beautiful day here.  Went out on a fundraiser 
kayaking event this morning, had a dolphin escort for a little ways, 
right next to my boat, which was pretty incredible.  Then to my 
neighbor's for a barbecue with a local pig and produce from their farm 
(the strawberries are seriously to die for).  Local island band the 
Butterbeans played tunage.  This band includes the husband/wife team 
called Shovels and Rope, which appears to be getting somewhat 
well-known, for good reason as they are VERY good.

Re: [MBZ] Fw: All alone

2014-05-04 Thread Dan Penoff
True, however, in my case every stinking gap/hole/opening in the house has been 
sealed and verified with a blower door test, which was done last fall and 
passed with flying colors.  In fact, the guy that did it said my house was one 
of the tightest he had ever tested.

Attic ventilation exceeds spec as well, with about 10% more than specified in 
the way of soffit and roof vents.

Your point is well taken, however, as a lot of my research turned up a rather 
heated debate in the HVAC community over the use of (powered) attic vents.  
Most of those arguments revolved around the house envelope not being properly 
sealed.  This was my motivation for doing it, and I believe I saw results from 
it almost immediately.

Last year in the period of July through September we had nearly the same number 
of heating degree days as the year before, and during the same period last year 
my electric bill (AC) dropped on average about 20% during that time.

I would attribute the drop to sealing the house and the installation of a Nest 
thermostat earlier in the year.

I am not impugning Dan.  I noted the coincidence that at the time Dan took 
over, the interwebs decided to jumble up things and a bunch of folks are no 
longer getting mail from the list or are being spammed by the list that our 
membership is void.

[MBZ] GL transfer case

2014-05-04 Thread Kaleb C. Striplin
I curse the person who came up with the driveshaft connection on these 
things. It's easy to get to, but impossible to get the rear drive shaft 
to clear the transfer case. I buggered but the end cap that holds the 
grease in when removing it. Got it bend sort of straight and was able to 
get it back on the driveshaft. Anyway, I got a used care off eBay out of 
a 09 GL with 70k miles. When it arrived it looked almost brand new. Got 
it wrestled back into place, ended up having to drop the drive shaft 
center support mount to get just enough slack to get the shaft back 
connected to the case. Got it all put back together and took it for a 
drive. No more bad grinding/rattling under acceleration. I was worried I 
was going to pick up some drive shaft vibration but I took it up to 60 
and seems smooth. I sure as hell do not get why they changed to these 
star type bolts, thru just seem cheap to me plus I had to get a new set 
of sockets for these.  Now on to the next project.  I have a good 
feeling this was what was wrong with Wilts sons car.

Re: [MBZ] Fwd: confirm ***************

2014-05-04 Thread Dan Penoff
Yahoo and a couple of other lesser mail service providers made changes to their 
systems related to security at that time.  As a result they are bouncing stuff 
left and right, not just here, but everywhere.

I see some fairly high level reporting on internet and mail traffic as a part 
of my job, and I can say that the situation has gotten visibility up to Federal 
levels.

As soon as I see a bounce notice I fix it.  It may take me a little while 
during the work day, since my employer does prefer that I work.

As for some of the recent weirdness of late, that's an issue with your ISP.  I 
traced Larry's situation all the way back to his service provider, and up to 
their threshold things were normal.

If you're getting bounce notices or unsub notices due to excessive bounces, 
drop me a note directly and I'll look into it.

Dan

Just wanted to mention for the sake of those on the digest:

Everyone please try and trim your posts.  I just looked at some digests and 
they were a couple of messages and the rest was replies, etc.

I don't really know what's best or the proper protocol as far as top 
posting/bottom posting, whatever, but when you do reply take a moment and trim 
any extraneous replies, footers, etc. off the message if possible.  Your digest 
reading fellow member will appreciate it.

LastPass to generate and store distinct passwords.  LastPass stores
encrypted passwords in the cloud so I wonder about security.  I've
encountered a few behaviors I don't understand but then I haven't really
read the manual, but so far so good, as far as I can tell.

all 4 air shocks
replaced LF air shock again
air suspension compressor
COMAND unit
Transfer case

From working on this vehicle it is nice and all, but it is not near the 
quality of the MB of old.

I curse the person who came up with the driveshaft connection on these
things. It's easy to get to, but impossible to get the rear drive shaft to
clear the transfer case. I buggered but the end cap that holds the grease
in when removing it. Got it bend sort of straight and was able to get it
back on the driveshaft. Anyway, I got a used care off eBay out of a 09 GL
with 70k miles. When it arrived it looked almost brand new. Got it wrestled
back into place, ended up having to drop the drive shaft center support
mount to get just enough slack to get the shaft back connected to the case.
Got it all put back together and took it for a drive. No more bad
grinding/rattling under acceleration. I was worried I was going to pick up
some drive shaft vibration but I took it up to 60 and seems smooth. I sure
as hell do not get why they changed to these star type bolts, thru just
seem cheap to me plus I had to get a new set of sockets for these.  Now on
to the next project.  I have a good feeling this was what was wrong with
Wilts sons car.

This would be the one on the driver's side that controls the driver's window,

[MBZ] OT - Sondy Tale

2014-05-04 Thread WILTON

Yep, another silly Sondy Tale:

THE RUN TEST
By Wilton Strickland

The day after I returned to Sondy from a two-week leave in June, '78, the 
non-commissioned officer in charge (NCOIC) of  overseeing our Air 
Force-required annual physical performance test told me that a staff 
sergeant (E5) who worked for me and I were the only military members on base 
who had not completed the test, everybody else having done so while I was 
away.  The test required us to walk and/or run two miles (I think it was 2 
miles, may have been 1½ miles) in eleven minutes or less depending on our 
age.  We arranged to do the test the following morning.


Meanwhile, for much of the afternoon and next morning, the sergeant, who 
would be doing the test with me, taunted me (good-naturedly at first, but it 
quickly got old) about how he was going to make me eat his dust, or I 
would see only his back, and I'm gonna leave you way behind.   At 44, I 
was six or seven years older than the sergeant, but I soon decided that it 
would be a cold day Hell when he passes me, but I never said a word - just 
let him continue to have his fun, though it did begin to be a little 
annoying and bordering on insolence, and I could easily have told him to 
shut the Hell up, but I would have instantly regretted it.


Immediately as we began the test, we were both walking at a somewhat brisk 
pace as I led the way.  As we progressed along the route, though, the 
sergeant was constantly picking up the pace in an effort to pass me.  As I 
heard his footsteps and breathing getting a little closer behind me, though, 
I continued to accelerate, until, finally, we were both running at full 
gallop, but I held the lead and completed the test in front of him - never 
saw him anywhere in front of me.  I must say, of course, that I was not 
really physically able to have done it normally; I did it on shear 
determination and will alone.  If he had not taunted me so about it before 
the test and turned it into a race and a test of wills, I would have 
finished the test way behind him, and it would not have mattered at all. 
Before his taunts, I had nothing to prove and nobody to impress, but after 
his mouthy taunting, I sure as Hell wasn't gonna let 'im pass me.  Rather 
than tell 'im to shut the Hell up, and embarrass myself, I never said a 
word - I shut 'im up the best way I knew and saved my honor and reputation 
in the process.  Neither of us ever mentioned it to the other again, and I've 
never mentioned to anybody else until now.

Hi All -
I started this project this morning and after approx 5 hours I have 
the dash and console out.  Actually I started yesterday evening but I am 
counting those hours.No big surprises except the air passages on each 
side of the evap were difficult to break loose. Also, it took a while to 
become comfortable working with stuff I have never worked on before.  I 
found the directions from Wilton and PeachParts forum to be very helpful 
but a few things have changed since the 87 they used as an example.  Not 
hugely different from my 91 W124, but enough to make it interesting.


I came in to take a rest and research the details of pulling the HVAC 
box from the dash to minimize the problems.


Thanks again to those who took the time and effort to put their 
experience in writing - it was/is _*very *_helpful!


I think I broke a couple of the clips that hold parts into the dash 
but those are minor problems. For a job that has a flat rate of 14-17 
hours I believe I am pretty close to schedule considering I have ni 
experience doing this.


Thanks again -

Yeah I was wondering about that, thought it was thunderbirds are go 
being cranky and thinking because Curt mentioned VW Diesels being better 
than MB Diesels once he should now be delegated to the spam folder. Fair 
enough I suppose and me thinks if he says it again, Thunderbird will put 
him in the deleted part.

Now to work out why some of the others have joined Curt in the sin bin?
I see Freddy, Karl and Scotty in there, perhaps they too have secret 
fantasies about the peoples car or maybe lust after compression ignition 
baby Chevies, like Kaleb?

How very unAmerican of you Wilton, this is not what we see in the 
movies, usually the winner makes references to female dogs and owning 
the non winner.
However between the desire to be better than someone else and women 
nagging, we managed to drag ourselves out of dark and cold caves into 
warm and lit above ground caves.
Thurg has fire in cave, why we not have fire? You want fun later, you

Bloody politicians, those insert lots of bad words here want us to 
work till where 70 before we can access the pension or super but they 
can retire after a few years sitting on their behinds, running the 
country into the ground and get lots of nice perks and money.
What's that old saying I just made up: If I make a bad decision I pay 
for it, if a politician makes a bad decision I pay for it.

If it lists for $125, the OKC dealer will quote you $270 for it. They
double list price as a matter of policy.
