Re: [MBZ] 2 post lift?

[G Mann via Mercedes]

Decades ago, the first shop of any size I bought had an in floor lift...
It worked, then it had a problem... Repair costs included demolition of the
floor, digging out the in ground hydraulics, and one hell of a costly and
disruptive expense.
I had them jackhammered out [the underground hydraulics are set in concrete
and go down 10 ft... removed the mess, compacted the hole and replaced them
with 2 post above ground surface mount lifts.

Since that incident, I have only owned above ground lifts.. any issues were
quickly repairable, and economical, when compared with my costly experience
with cast in place in floor mounted lifts.

My late uncle worked for Stenhoj in Denmark, he was a machinist. When I
occasionally entertain the idea of getting a lift I always think of
those. Don't know if they have distribution in the USA, and guessing
if they do they are pricey.

 For the same money you can get a Wildfire lift with an air over hydraulic

Re: [MBZ] OT Home and auto insurance

[Clay via Mercedes]

Liberty is in the class of company (Family) I will avoid like plague.  Mostly 
because their drivers have impacted my cars, causing expensive damage and their 
adjusters and whole method is to screw over the aggrieved party by holding out 
for as long as possible, creating all manner of inconveniences, such that after 
five weeks of getting nowhere, you just cave and have your own policy cover the 
damage.  You end up out your deductible, have the car off the road for months, 
and feel poorly about the whole mess.  Whichever umbrella company liberty falls 
under, their insureds have taken out the w124, caused mass damage to the w220, 
and caused the w126 SD to be totaled, tried to have it hauled away after hours 
from the body shop, and I ended up footing the bill out of pocket to get them 
to back off, contacted personal injury lawyer to get after them, and ratted 
them out to state insurance commissioner, who penalized them over multiple 
illegal actions. I had to use my own coverage for the extensive medial claims, 
and their adjusters hounded me to close out the claim, even though there is a 
three year window for addressing the bodily harm.

If you do not mind having criminals insuring your belongings, get liberty.  I 
am sticking with USAA

Mount it correctly to required specs, and use it at every opportunity, you
will never regret owning it.
At the end of the work day, you can actually see where you have finished
the work and it is so much easier to do at standing height.. or whatever
height the work needs...
Transmission R&R... easy engine / transmission pull... easy.. brake
jobs.. easy... weld repair to exhaust.. easy... all because you have quick
access..

[MBZ] OT a good friend recently passed

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

Phil was the first foreign-born astronaut in the US space program as an Apollo 
astronaut. He gave me my first “real” job and was a great funny extremely smart 
crazy totally amazing guy (pure Aussie!). He just missed flying on an Apollo 
Mission to the Moon when the program was cancelled. I think he might have been 
a backup crew for Apollo 13 and would have flown had they disclosed the 
illness.

Re: [MBZ] I bought this to keep the roads clear of downed trees, but it is is too much machine for me 1987 Mercedes-Benz unimog, $19, 000

 Probably with a bunch of other things. In this case it goes on a truck all by 
its lonesome.
That price is the worst case scenario if I have to hire a truck to drive 16 
hours and spend an hour loading/unloading at each end. Best case would be 
finding somebody who is deadheading north to pickup a load...

Re: [MBZ] VMI Dealer code list

[Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes]

The guy told me last week the $900E500 had no dealer service since 2007 but I 
see on the VMI it was sold and serviced awhile in ATL the came here thence to 
Ohio then back here and was serviced at this same dealer up to 2015. So that is 
a fair amount of dealer stuff.

Re: [MBZ] PHISHING??? Fwd: Buying a Classic Mercedes-Benz

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

You know what’s really weird? My brother got this email. He has nothing to do 
with Mercedes’ and never has. He emailed me a few hours ago about this and was 
wondering what the deal was.

Must be a phish or spam.

Re: [MBZ] MELLOW YELLOW! 2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK 230 Roadster 2D, $8, 500

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

The situation is compounded by a long-standing housing shortage in Flagstaff 
and the fact that it’s a popular vacation area, so there are a lot of second 
homes there.

I have a search running on RedFin (real estate) for properties that come on the 
market in the area. I’ll bet easily a third of what I’ve seen come on the 
market in single family homes over the last couple of months have been 
privately owned investment properties that are vacation rentals. The average 
3-4 bedroom 2-1/2 bath suburban home there is between $500k-$900k. Those go 
under contract within a couple of days, and there are aggressive bidding wars 
for them. A lot of listings state that they’ll accept offers for a week then 
make a decision at that time. No contingencies, no inspections, no nothing. 
Step up with cash in hand or you won’t be considered.

It’s nuckin’ futz.

Re: [MBZ] I bought this to keep the roads clear of downed trees, but it is is too much machine for me 1987 Mercedes-Benz unimog, $19, 000

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 After going to the gym 3 days a week for a year I've actually gained 
(regained?) an inch as confirmed at a Dr. visit last month. I suppose this 
would just put that inch back. ;)
I bet shipping that thing would be a big expense. I've priced moving a 14,000# 
backhoe the 450 miles to camp and it looks like its going to be somewhere just 
south of $3,000...

 *Raises hand*We bought in 2006, I guess we've mostly recovered at this point 
but you don't really know until you sell.
We've been getting those "I want to buy your house" letters pretty frequently 
lately. I usually just toss them out but Angie saw one the other day "I think 
we should do this." she sez to me 

"But where would we live?" I ask."We'd buy another house with the money."she 
replies."We'd buy another house for a bunch more money." I corrected.
Besides which we have another house...

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

We’re waiting, believe me. Target time is maybe 24 months out, and that’s just 
for land acquisition. It’s going to make a lot more sense to build than buy 
existing with where property values are up there. Even if the economy tanks 
they won’t drop significantly in that area.

Re: [MBZ] MELLOW YELLOW! 2003 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK 230 Roadster 2D, $8, 500

[Rick Knoble via Mercedes]

Housing prices and lumber prices being as they are, you may want to pretend 
it's 2007 again and wait 24 months. I know several people that bought at the 
peak in 2007-2008 and are still nearly upsidedown thirteen years later.

No indeed.  I drove mine from Tacoma to Spokane, and it was one of the longest
highway trips I've ever taken.  Slow, hot, and noisy.  Figure 45-50mph tops.  
Nowhere
near that going up mountain passes.

Re: [MBZ] Gotta hate MB -- $900E500

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I don't think they dig that far into them.  The guy who called yesterday 
said the tech figured it was the CP.  That is kinda the lowest level 
component if the TCM (called VGS on these units) is bad.  It is an 
intermittent issue so I think it must be a loose connection, or some 
intermittent system failure.  I did see one guy posted in some forum 
that when he "got on it" it dropped into limp mode, which is exactly 
what happened last time I drove it, was shifting fine until I stomped it 
and it revved up and I was accelerating.  That's why I thought it might 
be the SBC nanny telling the tranny nanny to slow down. I did clean the 
connector, which is only 4 pins.  It was kinda nasty but not too bad, 
did not change anything though I had hoped maybe it was that simple.


I might open it up and see what is going on.  If it is a solenoid issue 
(which does not seem to be the case) then the traces can be repaired on 
the conductor plate, but if the TCM is crapped then it is new conductor 
plate time as the TCM is integral to the CP. That's like $800-900 and it 
has to be reflashed to match the car.  I *think* I can do it with the 
DAS computer, I have seen something about that procedure but have not 
studied it.  But maybe there is something loose in there, maybe I can 
see it if I drop the CP.  If the brake controller solenoid on the CP is 
actually bad, which is a code it is throwing I thought might be related 
to the SBC, then either changing the solenoid or fixing the trace might 
fix it.  Fluid refill on these 722.9s are a PITA, there is no dip tube 
so you have to pump it up from the bottom with a special fitting on the 
drain bung.  "Lifetime" fluid doncha know... and that sh*t is not cheap, 
some Very Special Fluid.


I am still trying to get this ML320 limp issue sorted after a new CP and 
(used) TCM has not cured the issue, it might be the wiring from the TCM 
to the CP, everything else is new.


These nannies are making me crazy but it has now become an obsession so 
I will persevere.

Re: [MBZ] OT Home and auto insurance

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Has anybody had Liberty Mutual or State Farm?  So far it looks like it 
is coming down to those 2?  I need to verify if the Liberty numbers are 
real though as the home owners number almost seems to good to be true.  
I will still probably see if I can find an independent agent to work 
numbers for me and will see what USAA has to say before doing anything.  
I suppose I could also do a phased approach and keep my primary home and 
autos with USAA for now and just move the rental house somewhere else 
and see how it goes.  Most of these online quoting tools want you to 
call them about rental houses and wont do an online quote.

I'm with State Farm, they are not the cheapest but I've never had any

few non-trivial claims over the years.
