[MBZ] 09S550 update

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

I had ordered stuff to fix the $2500 09S550 -- headlight bulb, brake 
pads (break pats), AC blower, front axles, and a lower control arm (ball 
joint on one was shot).


Rear brake pads were fairly simple, I did have to remove the calipers 
but not a big deal, just required a bit of persuasion.  Rotors were 
good.  Front break pads were fine, looked nearly new.


Headlight bulb required removal of wheel and fender liner but then was 
easy to swap over.  I had the wheel off anyway to check the brakes.


The AC blower was pretty crapped up and somewhat corroded on the 
squirrel cage shafts so I cleaned all that up.  The diagnostic said the 
regulator was bad so I ordered another of those along with another fan.  
After putting all that in, still no joy, so I checked the 40A fan fuse, 
which tested OK for continuity.  I swapped another one in anyway, and 
presto! JOY was had as the fan started working.  I kept the new fan in 
but put the old regulator back in and kept the new one for a spare, was 
only like $35.  I kept the old fan, even with cleaning it all and lubing 
it well, it was still a little slow.


The axles were a real pain.  I made up the tool I shared to use with the 
slide hammer kit I borrowed from the auto parts store.  Finally worked. 
Putting in the new ones required a lot of finessing due to how much room 
there was along next to the LCA to slide the spline into the hub.  Not 
fun.  I also had a huge problem with the nut on the end of the air 
strut, there is a torx hole in the end to hold the bolt end of the 
fitting to keep the whole thing from turning, and of course that 
stripped out.  Took forever to get it sorted, had to order new bolts 
(which were the wrong size), a tap and die set (14mx1.50 should you 
care) to chase the bolt and nut.  Lots of torching etc to get it all 
loosened up and on and off.  I finally got it all back together.  The 
new LCA fit in pretty easily.


Did a quick shakedown drive and all seemed great, axles were good, no 
rattles or looseness.  I did have no ABS/ESP due to wheel speed sensor 
fault and an airmatic fault for RF wheel.  I had a wheel speed sensor so 
put that in right quick.  Both sensors plug into a socket together, I 
messed with them some but still had the fault.  Not sure what that is 
about, seems like some sort of connectivity issue but I couldn't see 
anything.  I could drive the car but no cruise control, and the airmatic 
seemed fine.


Next day I drove it to Missisippi, about 500mi the first day, then the 
rest of the distance the second day.  I made a stop in Augusta to pick 
up 3 wheels, I found 2 others wider for rear, so now I have a staggered 
set plus a spare.  Nice AMG design wheels. I hope they fit the rear 
without rubbing on the fenders.  I was a bit concerned about the 
difference in circumference of front/back due to tire sizes to fit the 
different width rims and how it might affect the 4matic but reading up 
on it it seems like it should be OK.  Not going to put them on any time 
soon anyway but they do look nice. The tires that came with the car are 
only like 1.5yo now, good BFGs.


Had no cruise control which was a bit of a pain, watching my speed 
constantly because 90 felt like sitting in an easy chair and it was easy 
to creep up on that if not paying attention.  Traffic was moving 80-85 
most of the way so I kinda just went with the flow.  (I did have a 
couple of ohshit moments when I passed a cop hiding in the median)  AC 
BLEW ICE COLD which was good because it was 90s-100F most of the time.  
No issues whatsoever with the car other than those sensor problems.


I got like 21-24+mpg running at 80+/- the whole way plus some other 
highway driving 60-70.  That is pretty damn good for a big car with a 
big engine.


Miles. Gal. MPG
458.9 19.2 23.9
312.2 15.1 20.7
170.3 8.1 21.0
129.3 6.1 21.2
233.1 10.4 22.4
342.0 14.0 24.4
192.7 9.3 20.7

Roads in MS were really good, AL almost as good, GA OK, SC sux big time. 
You would think "poorer" states would be worse but I was really surprised.


So anyway that was 1800mi or so of driving, the car was amazing.  I am 
totally in love with it.  Big, fast, comfortable, quiet, everything you 
want a Sonder-Klasse to be.  Huge amount of trunk space, huge back seat 
space.  And the black/black W221 looks amazing too, lots of "presence."  
I am tall so have my seat all the way back so I can stretch my legs out, 
there is still ample room in the back I could probably fit behind driver 
seat.  AC kept temps 70-72F the whole time, and cooled down fast. Engine 
temp never went above like 85-90C even when sitting with AC running. 
Sound system is great (I had to get some adapters to plug my iFōn into 
the DVD sound jacks but it works). And for maybe $3200 all in now with 
the parts and acquisition cost it is an amazing deal.


So, the story of the cheap S550...

[MBZ] OT Hey y'all ho mah beer n watchiss

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

 A good neighbor's bad decision. Summerville man dies after placing
 firework atop his head.

James Paul and Jennifer Bent jp...@postandcourier.com; 
jb...@postandcourier.com

10–12 minutes


SUMMERVILLE — Wearing an Uncle Sam star-spangled suit and a top hat to 
match, Allen Ray McGrew danced around in the front yard as he smoked a 
cigarette on July 4th — his favorite holiday of the year. A line of 
smoldering firework mortars lined the edge of the street behind him.


Hours later, a firework exploded on top of his head, killing him instantly.

Dorchester County sheriff's deputies found the 41-year-old HVAC worker 
lying dead in the road after rushing to the 100 block of Cottonwood 
Drive, where an Independence Day Block party had come to an abrupt end 
around 10:30 p.m.



Paige McGrew told deputies that her husband had placed the large 
firework on his head to "show off" after drinking for several hours, 
according to an incident report.


“He was holding this firework over his top hat,” Paige later told The 
Post and Courier. “I thought he was just showboating before he set it on 
the ground. I didn’t realize he had already lit it.”


His wife was telling McGrew to stop when the firework suddenly erupted 
and he collapsed, the report stated.


Coroner Paul Brouthers said the exploding device caused massive head 
injuries that would have killed McGrew immediately. He was officially 
pronounced dead at the scene at 11:10 p.m.


In her Crestwood subdivision living room on July 5, Paige McGrew sat 
surrounded by her dogs, her son Hunter and Hunter’s fiancée, laughing 
and crying over her late husband’s antics. Paige said Allen worked hard, 
played hard and ultimately died doing what he loved. His death came less 
than a month before his 42nd birthday.


“Allen loved this holiday," she said. "He was a patriot; he was proud of 
his son and he was excited to have a new daughter-in-law. He was living 
his best life last night.


Allen had been looking forward to adding a daughter to the family and to 
celebrating his son’s engagement. Getting fully into the holiday spirit, 
McGrew had gone all out, Paige said, recalling how he slid into her 
office like a showman, wearing his brand-new Uncle Sam costume — 
overalls with red and white striped bottoms with a blue field and white 
stars up top, along with a fake white goat strapped beneath his chin and 
the top hat. He also wore a T-shirt with a patriotic red, white and blue 
design.


“I was on the phone with a client and I just lost it, I was laughing so 
hard. I had to tell her what was going on. The client said, ‘Oh, I have 
to see this,’ so Allen came around in front of the camera to show off 
his costume,” Paige recalled. “That was Allen. He was a genuine, good 
person and he loved life. He worked hard and he played hard.”


She showed The Post and Courier a video of her late husband dancing a 
jig in his red-white-and-blue outfit on the front lawn. Neighbors up and 
down the street gathered to enjoy McGrew’s delight in the hours before 
the tragedy fell.


According to Paige, Allen told his son on the night of the incident that 
this Independence Day celebration would be their official father-son 
blowout to celebrate Hunter’s wedding day and his engagement. Then he 
planned to stop drinking for a while.


“Alan was not a drinker,” said Paige. “Everyone was drinking a little 
last night, but he didn’t drink regularly.”


In Dorchester County, fireworks are permitted on July 4 from 10 a.m. to 
1 a.m. on July 5, according to local ordinance. Dorchester County 
Sheriff's Lt. Chaz Easterlin said the firework involved in McGrew's 
death was legal.


The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 2023 received eight 
reports of fireworks related death and 9,700 injuries. Out of the eight 
deaths, five were associated with firework misuse, two with a device 
malfunction and one with unknown circumstances, according to the commission.


Those around Allen McGrew described him as a kind father and generous 
neighbor who was always willing to lend a hand.


A man who lives across the street, and who wished to remain anonymous, 
said July 3 was the first time this year he’s mowed his lawn because 
McGrew would just come over and cut it every time he trimmed his own grass.


Paige said he actually cut the grass for about five neighbors.

“He was the nicest guy. He was the kind of guy you want for a neighbor,” 
said the neighbor, an Army military intelligence veteran, who came out 
early July 5th to clean up signs of the accident left in the asphalt.


“He didn’t suffer; it was quick.”

Swiss army knife of Unimogs, for sure. Just needs a brush cutter on an 
articulated arm and you’re good.

I would pass on this myself, since one of the defroster switches doesn’t work.

Jeans are not dungarees because they're not dun.  They're indigo.
My grandmother used Davenport.  Chesterfields are cigarettes,
and it's "Chaise Longue".  Always was.

Family Guy usually uses "couch".  As in: totally taking this.

Maybe a wash and a vac and a general cleanup wouldn't be asking too 
much. Could be fairly decent but hard to tell.  Not $5k decent though.
