Re: [MBZ] Broken Balusters [was: Re: Merry Christmas}

[Kevin Kraly via Mercedes]

35F and cloudy today. We had a little bit of snow/sleet yesterday, just enough 
to race around and do some donuts with the 1/5 scale 2-stroke RC car. It was a 
wonderful Christmas though, great food (home grilled filet mignon steaks and 
Maine lobstah tails), great gifts and awesome company!

Re: [MBZ] Owners Manual

I tried download ing the 2000 manual for grins, it sez E320, E420 and 
Ewhaterver it is AMG.  NO DISSEL!


I looked at 2001 through 2006, and no R models.  I thought there were AT 
LEAST R Dissels somewhere in those model years.

We got 5" of snow this morning. Light powdery stuff so easy to clean the

I’m going to check with my tax guy. My wife will not be working, but now she’s 
not entirely certain that she’s going to go with me. I’ll likely be there 
anywhere from 3 to 5 years. I’m just waiting to find out what they’re going to 
offer me. Will probably know something in about two weeks.

Hi Bob, been meaning to give you the news since I checked on it a couple of 
weeks ago. 
No material changes to the foreign earned income exclusion are currently 
proposed for 2018.
You can exclude $104,100, your wife can exclude the same. 

This is a long term assignment, right?
You'll want to look at the residency requirements. 330 day rule and all that. 
Email me if you have questions. 
https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion

Probably want to check your state residency requirements and make sure you 
aren't considered a resident of a state that charges income tax while you're 
away.

14°F here, been snowing since dawn at least. 
About 6" today, sometimes whiteout visibility, sometimes the sun shows up for 
5-10 minutes then the blizzard comes back. 
Got home from the parents' house about an hour ago, still have a roaster oven 
with half a turkey breast in the trunk of the car to deal with.

What's funny is my Chebby LE2 1.4L (gas) makes a bit more than an early OM606:

153hp @ 5600rpm, 177 ft-lb @ 2000-4000rpm
http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/le2/

With a computer flashed tune, it's more like: 
210hp @ 4500-5500, 260-270ft-lb @ 2000-4000rpm (handily stronger than the 606 
turbo above 2000 rpm)

You can also splice a piece of hook-up wire onto one lead, lay the cap
down, and run the extended lead parallel to the cap to the other end.

If the leads have to spread very much, you might want to tack down the
radial capacitor with a glob of RTV so the vehicular vibrations won't

Re: [MBZ] 603 V 606

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

From my experience the 602 in the 124 gets the best mileage of any of 
the 60x diesels, including the 606.

My guess is that the MPG is tied more to the C_d of the chassis than 
to the OM version.


My U100 bronco got 10 MPG with a 170 CI engine.  I put in a 283 that I 
knew got 17 MPG in a galaxie.   Guess what?  The 283 got exactly the

Its much more useful to see how it develops torque (and horsepower) over a
range of engine speeds, and how long it holds near the peak as speed
increases.

As you know, the 3.5 already feels quite a bit faster than the 3.0, thanks
to the peak torque and horsepower coming in at lower speeds.  Its much more
useful on the actual road (but is statistically less when compared on the

Re: [MBZ] 603 V 606

[Jim Cathey via Mercedes]

The dissolved 200D Frankenheap (W115) is quite pleasantly drivable, even
with only 55 or so HP.  Plenty of torque is what makes it work.  The 12V
Cummins, even with its very low RPM range (750-2500), is a good driver.
Mucho torque.  What do they say?  HP==top speed, torque==acceleration.

[MBZ] Christmas

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

Merry Christmas all you knuckleheads. I trust you are all warm and happy 
gathered with your families. This is the first Christmas I haven’t been making 
electricity at the old nuke plant in many years. And, as luck would have it, 
all my family somewhere else. SWMBO is in Donna, TX with her pop in hospice, 
Oldest girl child is in Hollywood having to work the next three days, boy child 
is probably hungover at someone’s house, and youngest girl child is in Tucson 
getting ready to work tonight. So it’s just me and the dogs. 
I hope Herr Claus brought you exactly what you wanted.

[MBZ] 603 V 606

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

The HP and torque figures for the 603 got me to thinking about how it 
compares to the 606.  I find it interesting that the 603, even the 3.0 
has more torque than the 606 turbo.  I was also curious about the 617 v 
602 figures but could not locate 602 torque figures with a quick google 
search.


603:

86-87 3.0 148hp @ 4600rpm,  273lb @ 2400rpm

90-91 3.5 136hp @ 4000rpm, 310lb @ 2000rpm

92-95 3.5 150hp @ 4000rpm, 310lb @ 2000rpm

606:

non turbo 134hp @ 5000rpm, 155lb @ 2200rpm

turbo 174hp @ 4400rpm, 243lb @ 1600 rpm

If you put the IP from the 3.5 on the 3.0, you'll need to adjust the 
pump governor for the higher RPM, and maybe turn down the fuel amount 
a bit to reduce smoking. I've still got to make those adjustments on 
mine, probably going to start with just increasing the maximum RPM. 
Now that I've got the boost turned up and the bad delivery valve 
fixed, my car is running pretty good but still has worse fuel 
consumption than before.


Keep the 3.0 turbo, it has a simple pressure operated waste gate. The 
3.5 has the vacuum operated, more complex.
