I would answer along the lines of "it's a 17 year old truck in [excellent | 
good | average | fair] (whatever applies) condition. You're welcome to come and 
check it out for yourself, or here's the VIN and you can run whatever reports 
you want.

No, this is a scammy sort of sales thing where they try to get you to buy a 
“report” sort of like a CarFax on your vehicle from them.

Dump them, they’re not looking to buy your truck.

No you don't. Block him and forget he ever contacted you, or point out that 
he's trying a well worn scam and you're not falling for it.

Anybody doesn't want to come and actually look at the truck you invite them to 
kindly stuff it up their jumper.

The website is almost certainly a scam. They'll either fill your computer with 
bunk or charge you for a "trusted rating" or some other hoo-ha.

Re: [MBZ] Wonder What's Wrong With It?

2023-12-09 Thread Buggered Benzmail via Mercedes
You can pull one at the knackers or find one on eBay for probably not too much. 
Then it needs to be flashed to match the car. Those who do it can charge a fair 
amount, $300 or $400 maybe?

This 06E350 I got on trade had a buggered ECU, somehow it got set to be for a 
V8. My buddy Todd had one sitting on a shelf so flashed it to match the car. 
I’ve still got to get the starter swapped to get it started. 

That car looks like putting a few $100 into it would not be unreasonable. Maybe 
even some negotiation would make it a better deal

Re: [MBZ] Wonder What's Wrong With It?

I’ll defer to Floyd, but I know on a couple of engines, like the M156, and the 
M127 it’s around $500 for a rebuilt one. Used ECUs can be found for less on 
venues such as eBay.

I do believe they have to be version-coded, but again, I would defer to others' 
knowledge on this, as it’s an area I haven’t done much work in.

[MBZ] W211 Rear Brakes

2023-12-09 Thread dan penoff.com via Mercedes
Mrs. Dan’s 2003 E320 needed rear brakes, probably for the first time (119k on 
the clock). I went to the dealer and picked up a set of rotors and pads for a 
whopping $160 total. Nice!

Started on the left rear a couple of weeks ago. The rotor was not going to come 
loose. I soaked the area around the flange and rotor as best I could with the 
proverbial 50/50 mix of ATF and acetone and put everything back together.

Today I took another swing at it, and before doing so, I stopped by my nearby 
HF store and picked up a 5-ton hydraulic three-jaw puller.

Got the left rear in the air, the wheel off, and soaked it some more for about 
30 minutes. Then, using an 18” pry bar, I put pressure on the back of the rotor 
and tapped it repeatedly using a 1 lb. ball peen hammer around the hub and on 
the face of the hub, after which about a minute, it popped loose at one side 
and then came off. Huzzah! I took care of replacing the pads, pressing the 
piston back, using MB brake paste on all friction points, etc., etc.

Moved over to the right rear. I had not prepped it previously, so it was more 
or less the same as the other side two weeks ago. I soaked everything with the 
“majik oyl” and let it sit for maybe 30 minutes if that. Again, with the pry 
bar and tapping. Maybe 40 seconds and it yielded! Swapped all the bits out, 
pressed in the piston, greased all the new stuff up and installed.

Put the car down and torqued the wheel bolts.

I need to take a look at the fronts tomorrow…after which I’ll return the HF 
hydraulic puller...

[MBZ] Started on the GL oil cooler job

2023-12-09 Thread Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes
Going fine till I got to the turbo removal. All that crap is back up under the 
firewall and I am working by feel. That and the GL sits up much higher than the 
211 making this part of the job a swine. I removed the firewall heat shield 
panels back there to gain access. At this point i am attempting to remove the 6 
bolts for the turbo exhaust Y pipe. This car appears to have had somebody in 
here working on it before because I have a few bolt missing on little items and 
some bolts are hex bolts instead of the torx bolts. Anyway, the y pipe, on the 
211 these came off without a problem. On this car, using a long ratchet no go. 
I put a cheater pipe on and cranked in it to the point I was no longer 
comfortable. Last thing I want is for the bolt to round off or snap off. I 
think I’m going to soak them in PB blaster and come back at it tomorrow with 
the impact. It is looking like I’m going to have to remove the wiper motor 
assembly to gain even more access to the area.
