Wilton,

We always carried two large zip lock bags with dry sponges in them in our

yourself and the sponges kept the liquid from sloshing. Do not however,
stow them in your helmet bag after use... don't ask why I know this..

These stories need to be put up at a blogsite - anyone?  Someone take
these WILTON stories and put them up at a blogsite for us.  Also, keep

Re: [MBZ] Lost Titles

I go through lost bill of sale issues with snowmobiles a lot. I'm a klutz with 
them I guess. My dad has "sold" me every snowmobile I've ever registered. 
Interestingly this year the bill of sale didn't magically reappear just after I 
registered the machine, the other two did and immediately got corralled in the

Ouch is right!  I shoulda got my 240D title right away when I bought

Re: [MBZ] Poos lazy miracle ac sealer

[Kaleb C. Striplin]

Yes that's what I got except I got the next one up that has dye and a drying 
agent in it. After I replace the compressor this should seal it up as I 
recovered about half a lb from the system and that was after last charge being 
a year or 2 ago. It also did not appear to lose any vacuum after about 20-30 
minutes so the leak must be small.

Re: [MBZ] The Hoax of Global Warming Revealed

[Curt Raymond]

You know, I was thinking just last week as I sat in a 90,000 ton cruise ship, 
"I wonder if all the giant ships running around all the oceans of the world 
contribute to the "rise in sea level". I mean they'd have to right? A 90,000 
ton ship displaces 90,000 tons of water. If my grandmother was right with "A 
pint is a pound the world around" then that ship displaces 180,000,000 pints of 
water doesn't it? I might have missed a zero there but you get the idea. 

Royal Caribbean has 22 ships and the one we were on was one of the smaller 
Panamax (can travel through the Panama canal) models. The last cruise we were 
on the ship was 150,000 tons and big oil tankers go well over 500,000 tons. To 
my mind theres an awful lot of water being displaced around the world. Of 
course theres an awful lot of water too...

Global warming discussions can be dangerous. Two fishermen in a bar got into an 
argument about it that resulted in a near riot.
One said the sea had risen 2 inches because the high water mark on a post in 
Crystal River had risen exactly 2 inches above the usual high water mark, and 
therefore he believed in global warming. The other fisherman said the new high 
water mark was due to all the boats from the marina making waves and that 
global warming and rising seas was a lot of hooey.
After the riot was broken up someone called the government meteorologist in 
Tampa and ask him about the 2 inch rise in water level. He called Washington, 
the experts looked at the global warming program on their supercomputer, and 
said the 2 inch rise in Crystal River was correct even though no one from the 
government had ever actually measured it in Crystal River.
By then the fishermen had sobered up, so they shook hands, became friends 
again, and their argument was never settled; just like the global warming 
argument will never be settled.

Re: [MBZ] Thug driving Benz with pimp rims gets ventilated at FLAPS

[G Mann]

Actually, one of the most effective placements of a projectile to take the
fight out of the fight is a solid hit into the pelvis, ie center of mass,
low. The pelvis bone is the foundation of the body. If it is shattered, the
perp can not run and you regain control of the situation. However, in the
seconds you have in a real confrontation, a tightly aimed discharge is
simply not possible. Anyone who states, you should just shoot them in the
leg, has never been in a life threatening confrontation.

I challenge them to do a full on training scenario with it being video
recorded and watch themselves after the fight. In todays real world
scenarios, it's often more than one bad guy that is willing to do you harm
also.. so how do you pick, how do you deploy the force available, and how
do you survive, decisions must be made without hesitation..

Rich,

Yes, the W166’s (Current version) have the latest designed Command system.   
The MBUSA site says mine is  only comparable with a iPhone 5, but I’ve read 
with updated SW, it should work.   Hope I’m not out of luck.

BTW I currently work for the stealer.  I pickup and deliver cars for service 
from customers, do dealer swaps, etc, etc.  Been driving everything from 
Maybachs to Sprinters.  Sometimes, I drive the parts truck.  I’ve got a good 
relationship there, but I’d like to know what I’m talking about before I open 
my mouth.

Re: [MBZ] Thug driving Benz with pimp rims gets ventilated at FLAPS

[Scott Ritchey]

One common saying in the firearms community goes like this:  
Q: What does a person do after being shot with a handgun?
A:  The same thing they were doing before they were shot.

The point is that (unlike TV and the movies) being shot  by a handgun rarely
has immediate effect unless certain parts of the  central nervous system
(spine/lower brain) are destroyed or the pelvis is broken.  Even fatal shots
to the heart/lung area require significant blood loss to disable a person.
In a real struggle it's hard enough to shoot a perp at all without hitting a
bystander.  So in the real world (to the extant you can) you aim center of
mass, or a bit higher, and continue shooting until the threat is stopped.
The idea of shooting to wound is a Hollywood fiction.

Ventilation is good for climate change and global warming.  Hasn't

I'm not certain of the definition - but my 123s sure don't have
what _I_ think of as a "McPherson strut".  

I happen to have a wheel off on a parts car, so I took a picture.
It is a 1978 W123.

Re: [MBZ] Thug driving Benz with pimp rims gets ventilated at FLAPS

[Greg Fiorentino]

LE officers are trained to shoot to "stop an attack", which is most reliably
done by firing at center mass.  This may result in the death of the
attacker, but stopping the fight is the goal, not the death of the attacker.
If the attacker can readily be stopped by less lethal means, such as OC
spray or a baton, then that is the preferred method.

If he's grabbing for the taser, and likely to get it from you because of
superior strength or position, then use of a firearm is justified.  Doing

I want to know why these cops shoot to kill. Why not shoot the guy in the
arm or leg? If he's grabbing for a taser then he's probably not armed.

Re: [MBZ] Command System in 2011 ML and iPhone 6 Bluetooth

[Curly McLain]

Hi all,

Happy Easter!

Got a problem on my newer diesel benz (SWMBO's 
2011 ML)ŠŠ.after I pair a iPhone 6 to the 
Command System, I cannot get the BT option to 
stream music thru the radio.  I see the option 
on the newer command systems, but not on the one 
I've got.


Is the a TSB, software upgrade or fix for this?  


Thanks,

Hi Angelo!  Good to hear from you again!

I have no answer to your question, but Jaime, or Rich or somebody else might.

[MBZ] 350 SDL Tranny Issues

[michaelangelo54]

Hi all,

Trans in my 350SDL with 289K started acting funny this winter……

If it’s cold out, < 20F,  If i drive off without a 5-10 minute warmup, the 
trans goes back and forth on the 3-4 shift.  If I drop it down into 3 for a 
mile or two and then put it back into D, it’s shifts OK.   Also, If have to 
stop in that 1’st mile or so when cold,  the trans slips. (3K revs and the car 
barely moves)

Once it warms up, it shifts fine….hard acceleration from stop gives smooth 
shifts;  kick down works fine, too.

A few days ago, it was close to 60 out, and dead cold, it shifted fine.

Don’t know if it’s a B2 modulator (?), a vacuum issue or the trans is just on 
it’s way out.  Trans fluid and filter changed religiously every 45K.  A Benz 
mechanic told me that if it shifts fine when hot, it’s something external and 
not the trans.

Any suggestions?  Other than the usual “wait for the engine to self-destruct? 


Thanks

So if a cop attacks someone and that person is in imminent danger of being 
incapacitated by the cop, then does the victim have re right to use deadly

In response to Andrews speculation. Yesterday, in excess of 280,000,000 gun
owners in America committed no illegal acts, shot no one, and went
peacefully about their business, many of those with their personal gun on
their person.

I do realize you live in the District of Corruption where the
Constitutional Right to Keep and Bear Arms is violated with impunity,
however, the 50 States [a majority of them] do not violate that Right.

I speculate you could benefit greatly from attending a firearms training
class where you would be schooled in the responsible ownership and carry of
a firearm.  I invite you respectfully to do that.

If an armed LE officer is attacked by someone, and is in imminent danger of
being incapacitated by the attacker (as with a taser or OC spray,) his
training is to use deadly force in that situation.

Re: [MBZ] Thug driving Benz with pimp rims gets ventilated at FLAPS

[WILTON]

I think I may have told y'all 'bout my being "profiled" at a traffic check 
point en route to my rental house coupla years ago.  As I eased up to the 
officer, I looked 'im in the eye and said, clearly and concisely, "Good 
afternoon, officer." and reached out to hand him my "license."  Just as he 
reached for it, I realized I was handing him my military ID, instead, and 
pulled it back, laughing and saying,  "Oh, I gave you the wrong card."  As I 
started to retrieve the proper license from my wallet, he was laughing and 
saying, "Aw, you're alright; go ahead."  (The military ID had come out by 
force of habit, 'cause I hafta show it EVERY time I enter the air base, but 
I hafta show my driving license VERY rarely.)

Atta Boy Wilton !

People who make bad choices reap the results. Fighting with a police
officer at a traffic stop is a bad choice... having drugs in your trunk is
a bad choice.. or dead body.. or running...
None of those choices are connected with your race, but your attitude.
Attacking a police officer, in the conduct of his duties, is a felony act
in, I believe, all 50 states. An officer may use deadly force, if 
required,

to stop a felony act in progress, as most all those laws read..

On the other hand, I can't think of anyone in jail that was put there for
making good choices...

[MBZ] OT - A COUNTRY BOY REMEMBERS; SUMMERS WITH RICHARD

[WILTON]

'Nother one already!  Some of you may have seen part of this one before - 
the "moonshine-dumping episode."


SUMMERS  WITH  RICHARD
By Wilton Strickland

   I spent most of the summers of 1946, '47 and '48 with my oldest brother, 
Richard, on a tobacco farm in Edgecombe County near Rocky Mount, NC.  I 
saved most of the money I earned helping him and his neighbors harvest 
tobacco to buy a bicycle and school clothes.  'Never had anybody go shopping 
for clothes with me after I turned 12.  As usual, I was the trucker, in 
charge of driving the mules pulling small trucks of tobacco from the fields 
to the curing barns where a crew of adult women and teenage girls would 
"loop" it onto sticks to facilitate hanging it in the barns for 
curing/drying.
   The women/girls seemed to take great pleasure in teasing me about how 
"handsome" I was and which girl should be the first to kiss me.  I have 
since somewhat regretted "disappointing" all of them.
The oil-fired furnaces in the barns produced pieces of soft, black 
carbon residue that was removed when the burners were cleaned.  The carbon 
was excellent for writing on the sides of the galvanized sheet steel-covered 
barns.  The girls and I, especially the girls, used the pieces of carbon to 
write silly poems and draw cartoons and caricatures on the barns.  Much of 
it was about who was "in love with whom" on that particular day, and my name 
was often involved.
   (More than fifty years later, about 1999, I was driving past this farm 
and noticed that one of the barns was still standing with the outer, 
galvanized sheet metal ("tin") still in place and still unpainted.  I 
wondered if our graffiti were still there.  I made my way to the barn, and 
sure enough - there was our silly "artwork" just as we teenagers had left 
it, including several caricatures of me that the girls had drawn!  I regret 
not having a camera with me that day; I went back with a camera several 
months later and was very disappointed to find that the barn had been 
demolished and the site cleared.)
On the mile or so path from the tobacco barns to the "back" fields, I 
had to cross (ford) a small stream with the tobacco trucks.  This was no 
problem at all going to the field with an empty truck - I simply rode inside 
the truck as the mule pulled it through the water.  Crossing the stream with 
a heavy truck full of tobacco, though, was quite another matter, indeed, 
especially as it got later in the season and ruts on the stream bed got 
deeper and more numerous.  The truck would jostle or tilt violently back and 
forth with me standing on the back of it trying to counter the truck's moves 
and keep it upright.  I sometimes was unable to keep the truck upright, 
though, and would have to call for help at the top of my lungs.  I always 
felt guilty and embarrassed that I had "allowed" the truck to turn over. 
The men in the field, however, never said a harsh word to me about it as we 
worked together to right the truck and get the tobacco out of the water and 
back into the truck.
Also, a part of my job as "trucker" was to deliver water and other 
"refreshments" to the men in the field.  I usually delivered water to them 
in a half gallon Mason jar filled en route to the field from a well near the 
house.  For a special treat, I would go to a nearby store and purchase cold 
soft drinks (usually Pepsi) and a snack (salted peanuts, nabs, moon pie, 
etc.) for each primer and me.  A favorite refreshment for me was to pour a 
small bag of salted peanuts into a bottle of cold Pepsi in the field and 
enjoy the drink and snack at the same time.  During this time I also enjoyed 
conversation with the men and listening as they tried to outdo each other 
with their "tall tales" and some jokes that they thought I did not 
understand.  I would wait until I got out of their earshot to laugh, 
sometimes, uncontrollably.  I still remember and laugh at some of them 
occasionally.
   One day in the summer of '47, at 13, I was driving a mule pulling an 
empty tobacco truck through a field of tobacco on a "shortcut" to the field 
nearby where the men, including Richard, were pulling ("priming") tobacco. 
Suddenly, the mule was startled by something between the rows of tobacco 
nearby.  I stopped the mule and left the truck to investigate.  I found 
several cardboard boxes filled with half-gallon jars of "moonshine" 
(illegal - non-tax-paid) whiskey, maybe, a total of 12 to 15 gallons.  I was 
already aware of the misery caused by alcohol and was, as I still am, 
adamantly opposed to its excessive consumption.  I opened every jar and 
poured the whiskey onto the ground.  After pouring out all the whiskey, I 
proceeded to the adjoining field, where I excitedly and proudly told the men 
what I had found and what I had done with it.  None of the four men showed 
any reaction at all.  If any of them knew about the whiskey, they exercised 
remarkable restraint, especially, if one of them was the owner

I've got a little can of "Rotunda" Ford branded penetrant that smells awful but 
eats rust like crazy.I use it very sparingly, it came with the house and I'm 
not sure I could ever get another bottle. It only comes out for the really 
tough cases.

Mopar rust penetrant.  It eats rust.  can also be sprayed in 
cylinders to remove rust, but stay with it.  as soon as the engine 
turns over, flush it out and oil the cylinders with non-detergent 
oil.  If you leave it soak cylinders overnight, check the engine the 
next morning, and flush as soon as it turns over freely.

Acetone/atf and PB also are good penetrants, but neither eats the rust.

Molykote BR2 gun grease for door checks, suspension on old cars with 
grease fittings, general rust proofing, and lubing.  It works for 
wheel bearings but weeks.  Molykote wheel bearing grease would work 
better.  I put up with the weeping and I've never had a a wheel 
bearing fail that I put  BR2 in.

It is very close to the special MB sunroof paste.  The official stuff 
may have a higher molybdenum content.  Molykote undoubtedly has a 
similar product, and I'd bet Molykote makes the official stuff.

BG additives for manual trans, diff, diesel fuel, Etc.  Maked the 
petro products more slippery.  (may not be as noticeable with M1)

Re: [MBZ] Thug driving Benz with pimp rims gets ventilated at FLAPS

[G Mann]

Atta Boy Wilton !

People who make bad choices reap the results. Fighting with a police
officer at a traffic stop is a bad choice... having drugs in your trunk is
a bad choice.. or dead body.. or running...
None of those choices are connected with your race, but your attitude.
Attacking a police officer, in the conduct of his duties, is a felony act
in, I believe, all 50 states. An officer may use deadly force, if required,
to stop a felony act in progress, as most all those laws read..

On the other hand, I can't think of anyone in jail that was put there for
making good choices...

Fred posted a link to a Boston Craigslist ad offering some MB stuff 
including a pop tester setup for injectors.
I contacted Fred and asked if he would be a middle man for me and 
hopefully buy  the pop tester offered and then ship to me since I was 
afraid the vendor might think it was some sort of scam if I tried to do 
it from here. It did not work out as the fellow had already agreed to 
sell what I wanted to someone local but I do want to publicly thank Fred 
for his willingness to participate.
He contacted the fellow on my behalf and was quite prepared to assist.
I do appreciate it.

Re: [MBZ] Thug driving Benz with pimp rims gets ventilated at FLAPS

[G Mann]

In response to Andrews speculation. Yesterday, in excess of 280,000,000 gun
owners in America committed no illegal acts, shot no one, and went
peacefully about their business, many of those with their personal gun on
their person.

I do realize you live in the District of Corruption where the
Constitutional Right to Keep and Bear Arms is violated with impunity,
however, the 50 States [a majority of them] do not violate that Right.

I speculate you could benefit greatly from attending a firearms training
class where you would be schooled in the responsible ownership and carry of
a firearm.  I invite you respectfully to do that.

Re: [MBZ] The Search Continues....

[Curt Raymond]

I've been doing that for years but for it to really work you need to have a 
very cheap car and be able to do the work yourself. One major expense with a 
mechanic and all your savings are gone. My '83 240D was my best effort to date 
with about 25,000 miles for the cost of about $2,500 which includes oil 
changes. That car was a jalopy though and I didn't dare take it any farther 
than the 100 miles round trip to work and back. At the end it leaked/consumed 
oil so bad that I was using CarQuest 15w40 conventional which was the cheapest 
oil I could find and I was using the drain oil as makeup between oil changes. 
While it did suffer an oil related failure that finally ended its life it was 
failure of an oil cooler bypass hose not any problem with the oil itself.
In the end I'd bought the car for $400 (the second time I bought it) and sold 
it for $200, plus I'd sold a bunch of parts for around another $100 so I came 
out real good. 
The Jetta is doing pretty well, I've put I think 25,000 miles on it with maybe 
$4000 invested (which includes buying the car and both summer and winter tires 
plus buying the second set of rims) if nothing big goes wrong I should be 
approaching the '83 240D by the end of this year...

They stopped development on it recently as they are joining up with another

[MBZ] Maintenance spread sheet

[Kaleb C. Striplin]

Does anybody have a spread sheet setup they use to track their maintenance and 
fuel? If so would you mind sending it to me? I was going to set something up 
but figured if somebody already had something why reinvent the wheel.

Re: [MBZ] Thug driving Benz with pimp rims gets ventilated at FLAPS

[Rich Thomas]

He was a Gentle Giant who tried to get the cop's taser and use it on the 
cop.  Probably did not have his own piece or he would have just used 
that on the cop.  Plus, what he had done to that Benz was in itself 
worthy of a lightning strike.


Stay tuned though, the NAN and NAACP are meeting in 2 hours to determine 
their response.

Re: [MBZ] Ya Gotta Love It!

[Dan Penoff]

These have been around for a long time in industrial applications. They're 
nothing more than an instrument that measures the thickness of a coating, in 
this case, paint.

It just measures the thickness of the coating (paint) relative to the substrate 
(steel or aluminum body panel)   The consumer grade gauges don't work on 
plastic.  That's because they typically rely on using magnetism or eddy 
currents to sense the thickness of the coating.  To do this on plastic panels 
you need an ultrasonic gauge.

The consumer grade gauges aren't super accurate, but more importantly, they 
allow you to see the consistency of the paint thickness, which is really what 
you need to know to tell if there's been bodywork.

Re: [MBZ] Ya Gotta Love It!

[Dan Penoff]

Sure.  A must-have when looking at used cars:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pocket-Size-Digital-Paint-Coating-Thickness-Meter-0-1-Gauge-Sensor-Probe-80mil-/181429181260?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a3e059b4c

Or something like this.

It's a fantastic thing to have, as there is simply no way to dispute paint 
thickness when trying to determine if a car has had bodywork done on it.  
Magnets can't always reveal the thickness of Bondo, but a repaint or touch-up 
will always yield a measurable difference in paint thickness.  It also doesn't 
matter if the panels are steel or aluminum, either.

Even production paint jobs will have variations, but what you're looking for is 
a significant change in the fill or paint thickness in a given area.  Since 
shops will often blend or fill in, you can see the paint thickness get thinner 
as you move away from a repaired area.  On a production paint job the thickness 
should be pretty consistent across a given area, if not the whole car.

You also want to check paint thickness in areas like door jambs and around 
openings like the trunk as these areas will often have much less paint that 
outside areas around them if there have been repairs.
