[MBZ] 2nd lift for the shop

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

In my shop I have 3 drive in doors, a large door on one end which is the 
main door, and 2 smaller doors on opposite ends from each other.  The 
door on the back side of the shop has always been stuck and will not 
open.  I had a guy come out and fix it best he could to where it now 
will open but does not stay up.  It will need a new spring etc for 
that.  I figure I can just stick a clamp on the track when its raised to 
hold the door up.  Anyway, now that this door opens it would sure be 
great to have a lift between the 2 doors so when I have a dead car, I 
can pull it straight in with the tractor or whatever and pull straight 
thru out the other side.  I have always said if I get another lift I was 
going to get a 4 post.  Can you drive onto a 4 post from one side and 
off the other side, or do they usually have stops at the end?  If so, 
then I probably need to get another 2 post.  The prices of these things 
have gone up a significant amount since I bought mine a year ago.  This 
was up quite a bit from when I first started looking at them.  For 
example the Chinese lift I have (that works quite well and I have no 
concerns with) used to be $1299 or something like that about 3 or 4 
years ago.  When I started looking at them again they were less than $2k 
and when I bought mine I think I paid $2300 for it.  Now they are right 
at $3k.  The alternative is to move the lift I have over but I sure do 
not want to do that.  Besides, I have had this 450SEL taking up the lift 
space for the last 2 months as I have pulled the tank and been working 
on cleaning it out.  Hopefully next weekend I will have it done and the 
damn car will start and run so I can move it out.  In the meantime I 
have had several other projects I have needed the lift for.  A 2nd lift 
would be great in the cases of these long term project.  But jeez, does 
one guy need 2 (actually 3 as I have the alignment rack too) lifts?  I 
would still like to find a good used lift but so far no luck.

Re: [MBZ] Cleaning out fuel tank

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Using the shop vac I stuck the hose down into the fuel sender hole and sucked 
up a lot of it. I rocked it back and forth moving more chunks into position and 
got those too. Was able to get everything out and now nothing is rattling 
around in there. I’m sure the tank is not perfectly clean to poos standards but 
it’s close enough for government work.

[MBZ] W211 cabin temp sensor removal

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

On this former poos car that he ripped me off on, the cabin temp sensor is 
throwing an error. I order a new one. It is located right next to that ignition 
switch. Per the the manual you have to remove the cluster, under dash panel, 
and the upper dash board to get to it. Reading the forums did not offer up much 
beyond links to the shop manual. I decided to tackle it today. I figured I 
could get to it from the top so I removed the cluster. No way to get to it. I 
then removed the under dash panel and could not really get my hand up there. I 
then removed the plastic spin on deal for the ignition switch and was able to 
push it back into the dash. The sensor is literally right there. I was able to 
reach a couple of fingers in and twist it to unlock it from the dash and it 
then pushed away. Using an instrument cluster removal hook, I hooked onto it 
and was able to pull the sensor out of the ignition switch hole. Old one was 
full of lint. Removed wiring harness and installed new one. Pushed 
 it back thru the hole and was able to use 2 fingers to get it into position 
and turn it to lock it into place. This is the easy way. Not sure why the 
manual basically has you pull the entire dash out.

Re: [MBZ] Cleaning fuel sender

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

I highly endorse MBoC based on several transactions. While I get a good 
(wholesale) discount from my local dealer, and exemplary service, there are 
times when it just doesn’t make sense to pay their price when I can get it for 
much less fro Covington. Even with shipping I come out ahead, even more so 
because I don’t pay sales tax.

My dealer said they would meet MBoC’s prices, but the one time I gave them the 
opportunity they balked and said they couldn’t do it because it was below 
wholesale. If it’s a relatively inexpensive part, fine, I’ll pay the extra coin 
to my dealer because they give me fantastic service and can get me stuff 
overnight if necessary. However, if the difference is substantial, I’ll go to 
MBoC.

Case in point:

I needed the “guts” for my driver’s side exterior rear view mirror because the 
mechanism that makes it fold was borked. List was around $300, my local price 
was around $240, MBoC was under $200 including shipping. No brainer.

If it’s large or heavy it likely won’t be a deal because of the shipping cost, 
but otherwise, they’re the rock bottom on prices from what I’ve found.

Covington had a much lower shipping cost and apparently does not collect

Retail $240, their price $168.48 (29.8% discount). You'd avoid sales tax

Re: [MBZ] Tornadoes

Yes, they tend to come up my direction now. In fact a few years ago a possible 
tornado was headed right at Okie acres. The wife and kid went to the center 
hallway, I watch as it passed. It went right over and shook the house. After it 
passed us it did touch down a few miles later.

Re: [MBZ] Tornadoes

[Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes]

Basements are not common around here due the the high water table and the soil 
is too moist. It also goes from one extreme to the other in that it can be real 
dry then real wet. This causes foundations to move slightly. Both of our houses 
are in crawls but depending on how wet or dry it is, I can detect slight 
variations in how various doors open and close. I might have a door that 
slightly drags the frame when opening or closing and other times does not. Most 
houses around here these days are built on slabs. These often crack and require 
major repair involving piers.

Re: [MBZ] Tornadoes

I used to send the wife and kids to the central bathroom when the sirens
blew, then I'd go outside to watch. Never was one, though they did hit a
few miles from us several times. We can just barely hear the sirens from
the closest town now, and don't worry about it since the kids are all grown
and gone. After you hit geezer status, it just doesn't seem that big a
worry. Besides, the tornadoes seem to have moved north and east from us now.

Re: [MBZ] 560 sel differential? 1988

[OK Don via Mercedes]

In the one diff that I had to rebuild back when I was a paid wrench, the
noise was coming from the pinion gear - it was visibly worn. We replaced
the gears and bearings, after waiting months for the special order Volvo
parts, and sent it on its way, happy and quiet.

I'd vote for getting a used diff, inspect/repair it, then do the swap.

Re: [MBZ] Tornadoes

[Bob Rentfro via Mercedes]

My dad bought a new house in the area of Washington, IL that was obliterated in 
the 11/17/13. He has a “tornado room” in his basement that is outfitted quite 
comfortably. My sister simply has a basement. 
I’m sure a legit midwest thunderstorm will wake up this desert dweller, but my 
sister assured us she’s wake us up to go to the basement if necessary.

Re: [MBZ] Tornadoes

[dan penoff.com via Mercedes]

The house we had in Indiana was like this. While a portion of the basement was 
exposed, the part that wasn’t had a constant flow of water under/next to it. 
You could hear it running in the drains and sumps (there were two) and you 
could set your watch by the pump running, even in the driest parts of the year.

To compound the problem, the idiot that built the place took 1-1/2” PVC from 
each pump and ran it into a “Y” right before they exited the foundation to the 
run to a catch basin in the back yard. Some serious design flaws here:

1.) If both pumps were running at the same time (and they could) you would far 
exceed the volume of water that a 1-1/2” PVC pipe could handle.

2.) The 1-1/2” PVC ran nearly 125 feet to the catch basin it drained into. Do 
the math - that made it even more difficult to move an adequate volume of water.

Had we stayed there I would have completely replaced the drain pipe and sized 
it to 4”, at least. I would have bumped the output pipes on the pumps to 2” and 
run them separately into the drain line and eliminated the “Y”.

This setup was why the basement had flooded in the past. Sure, two pumps had 
more than enough capacity to move the volume of water out of the sumps, but the 
inadequately sized lines out of the pumps (and putting a “Y” to combine them!) 
and the drain line made it impossible to move that water out.

Yeah, in coastal Florida, even if your sump pumps were adequate, what 
would the hydraulic pressure do in a flood?

In Michigan, a home where the sump pump runs constantly is troublesome.
If the pump fails, you get a flooded basement within hours.

In OK you don't need a deep foundation to get below the frostline, but 
it seems like a basement would be a good way to get temperature stable 
space as well as storm shelter.


I understand that in most of Florida the water table is probably too 
high, but I'm surprised that basements aren't a thing in Oklahoma.
