Re: [MBZ] OT - Inkjet Printers for Home Use

[Russ Williams via Mercedes]

Stay away from HP inkjet printers. They eat expensive cartage's. Brother 
and Epson make better inkjets in my opinion.

I have a Brother Color Laser printer that prints good
quality prints.
Printing from smart phone or tablet works Ok.

Subject: [MBZ] OT - Inkjet Printers for Home Use

Mother-in-law asked me to get her an inkjet printer. I see this as a major 
concern, as we probably all know how poorly inkjet printers are when not used 
regularly. But, being that I’m a good son-in-law, I’ll see what I can do.

I’m partial to Epson and HP in that order. Epson has been doing inkjet on a big 
scale for decades, as has HP, but I have used professional Epson products for a 
while and as a result, I prefer them.

If you’ve got any direct experience with something that might do the trick, 
please share. I’m looking at sub-$100 stuff to give you some idea.

Thanks!

Re: [MBZ] O.T. Rotors Kaput?

[Russ Williams via Mercedes]

Bob,
The pulsation is part of the Anti-Lock braking system.
It only kicks in during extreme braking.

On 12/6/2023 10:25, Bob Rentfro via Mercedes wrote:

A couple of weeks ago I drove the 2000 CRV that boy child drives (I took it for 
a spin before I parked it at the side of the house to languish while he is in 
rehab). This is a 2000, two wheel drive, 147K mile jewel of an example. I 
ventured out on I-10 to get it up to speed and when I had to do a couple “avoid 
an idiot” braking, I felt a strong pulsing. I assumed it was warped rotors. 
Now, mind you, I’ve never had anything that had warped rotors…I just imagine 
that this is what it would feel like. Additionally, driving around town, I 
never felt that pulsing sensation when braking. To be clear, the pulsing 
diminished with a reduction of speed and when speed got below around 50mph, it 
stopped.
Do you reckon it’s rotors or something to do with ABS maybe? I guess I should 
ask the Google Machine if a 2000 CRV has ABS.

On a side note, sending a loved one to a legit, non-insurance driven rehab 
facility is costly. I may have to become a contract teaching whore out at the 
old nuke plant to repair the hole I made in my savings account. All potential 
vehicle purchase have gone from the back burner to off of the stove entirely.

'07 & '08 Bluetec doesn't use cat pee. DPF that will clog up if you just
putter around town. Need to run 55 mph + for at least 30 min every
2 fill-ups to keep it cleaned out.
With 195k on the clock I would make sure the O ring seals on the
inter cooler have been changed within the last 1k. The new seals that
MB came out with superior to the 2nd rev. Did mine 2 mts ago. It's a 2

Thanks for the offer but I managed to score a variety of PS2 mice at

Amazingly the first one I tried worked perfectly. It's an HP brand 
optical mouse, I didn't give it much hope, I'd read that the serial 
(joystick) ports on the Atari ST were low power and couldn't run USB 
mice so I'd assumed that really meant they wouldn't run optical mice. 
I was pleasantly surprised.


Lit up mouse:

It only works in the high res, monochrome, mode, otherwise the sync

those to one pin. The sync signals were easy by comparison.

Both me and SWMBO got ours. Got the Mederna first shot in Jan and the second

for two days on both shots.

yesterday and it said I was approved and only appointment I could find was 5 
hours away. Last night before bed a bunch of spots appears at a place 2 hours 
away. I did not book. This morning that place 2 hours away only had a few spots 
left for Saturday so I booked.

A few minutes later I was able to convince SWMBO to register, so I did hers and 
she was approved also. No appointments anywhere. A little while later I 
searched again and a place a hour away said it had appointments. By the time I 
clicked in it says not available anymore. Searched again and a place about 1.5 
hours away had a bunch of spots suddenly so tried a couple of the time slots 
and it said not available, tried a 3rd and it took. So hers is on Friday, and 
closer.

Moral of the story is you have to book these quick. Hope I don’t grow a 3rd eye

Re: [MBZ] Batteries, was: Daimler cheated too? (I'm sure VW feels better now)

[Russ Williams via Mercedes]

I have a Boltpower NO2 jump pack. I've used it 6x's in the last few 
months. Works
great. 800CCA 1200Peak Amps. The first time I used it was to boost off a 
Froad Power
choke 2500. His battery was down to 3 Volts on my multi meter. Hook up 
the bolt to it
waited 30 seconds and it fired up the Power Choke on 3 rev. The guy was 
impressed with
it. Said he had a hard time jumping the truck off with a regular car 
battery. Truck has had
a problem since new with a parasitic draw problem that the dealer hasn't 
been able to find.
He's has it in the shop 3x's each time they say they fixed it but it 
keeps rearing up it's ugly

head and coming back. The last time they "fixed" it was the week before.
I bought the Bolt because of a article I read that the reporter had 
tested 10 different jump
packs that were rated to start ditzels and this was the only that did 
what it was advertised
to do. Tester was starting a 124 300D with the test units and a battery 
that was at 2 volts.

He did my E320 2 years ago. These work like a charm cuts down on time

Also he suggest to mix the coolant and the distilled water before you

Re: [MBZ] I hate windows

[Russ Williams via Mercedes]

Max the link that was posted works.
Last night I did a Win 7 to 10 upgrade using a USB drive created with 
the M/S app.

This was the 15th I've done in the last 2 weeks.
If you run the setup from a running system it will keep all your 
programs and data in place.
If you wipe the drive and do a New install of 10 you will need the Win 7 
product key from

your system.
So far I've only had one system that the upgrade would not take. Kept 
giving me a "System

Security Issue" message.
Remember the up date will be lateral. Home to Home Pro to Pro.
Any questions send me an email.

It's unfortunate that some of you hate Windows. I've used it since it was a

Win 95 tried to be compatible with everyone. Win 98 was good. Win XP was really 
good. Rarely used Win 2000. Win 7 was extremely stable. But I like Win 10 best 
of all. I get periodic updates that load at night with no issues. I run it with 
Norton antivirus provided to me free by Comcast. Norton co-exits with Windows 
Defender both running together. I have never had a problem. I run Win 10 on two 
Dell Vostro business DTs (a 200 and 220) which I'll be converting over to Dell 
Vostro 470 business DTs. I don't expect any troubles. I don't run any odd

Re: [MBZ] Cord Cutting

[Russ Williams via Mercedes]

Is Comcast/Spectrum your internet provider too?
I have a client that has them. When he cut the cord and started using 
streaming services
Commiecast put a cap on data to 4 gigs a month. If you go over they 
"Offer" up grade data
service for a price ( and it ain't cheep). So they penalize you for 
dropping their tv service.

Our cable company (Comcast/Spectrum) is about to bend us over the back of a

a lot of research and found that between a Tablo OTA DVR and YouTube TV we can 
get nearly everything she enjoys watching for about $50/month compared to over 
$125/month when prices go up. Internet access costs me about $50/month.

I’m looking forward to stopping in at the local cable company store this week 
and handing them their boxes back.

Re: [MBZ] Good - Bad - Avoid?

[Russ Williams via Mercedes]

Same Year Same Color as mine.
Been well pleased with it.
Make sure the Turbo has had the gasket replaced. Turbo sits in the 
valley between the heads in the
rear of the engine. Seal will degrade over time and leak filling up the 
back part until it runs down

the bell housing.
Figure on getting 26~28 mpg mixed driving 33~34 on the road. The best I 
have gotten was this summer

got 38mpg between BHM and TYS and that was running 75~80 thru thru hills.
Check the motor mounts. If they haven't been changed they most probably 
will need changing.
I changed mine at 175k rt side was completed collapsed lft side was 
about half way.

Car drives like a dream handles well in traffic and on the road.
Would I buy another You Betcha.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Adjustable Beds

We have a Slect Comfort (Sleep Number) bed for 7 years. Got the basic

Don't expect it to be delivered tomorrow. Beds are shipped from their

there is no direct way to drain the TC. So I’m wondering if the best way to 
clean it out is to buy some cheap bulk fluid, dexron or whatever, then run a 
coupla drains and refills through before I put in the new filter then another 
dose of clean fluid. That would dilute the old stuff pretty well but unless I 
used “better” fluid to do the process it would get diluted quite a bit on just 
the last fill.

What do shops do when they flush and refill?  Some kind of machine that somehow

Re: [MBZ] Locked Computer

You won't find a Win Activation Code sticker on the bottom.
And you can't use a program to get it off the computer.
Win10 uses a digital ID that is stored on MS's servers.
Download the Win10 iso create a dvd or stick. Wipe the drive during
instillation. When asked for a product key chose I Don't Have One option.
After installing do all the updates. By this time 10 will talk to the 
servers

and activate with the digital license.
You can use Ultimate CD to get the version of Win 10 that's installed.
10 will ask what version you want during the install process.

Vehicle cooling systems are fairly simple, we have covered nearly every
aspect of them in various articles here over the years, whether it is
diagnostics, servicing, or even just general knowledge of how they
function, you can find it on the Know How Blog. When you learn about
something new, you feel the need to share it, and that is what brings us
here now – a new tool that helps you service your vehicle’s cooling
system. The AirLift Kit radiator vacuum tool from UView.

(continued on the web page)

-

Basically, it's hardware that attaches to the radiator cap's spot and
pulls a vacuum on the cooling system using a venturi vacuum pump. Once
you have a vacuum pulled on the cooling system, you connect a jug of
antifreeze and let the vacuum pull it into the cooling system.

The cost, $219.43, puts it in a category for professional mechanics, but
one could rig up something for less than that.

Re: [MBZ] Clay's tire issues could be resolved with this

[Russ Williams via Mercedes]

When I bought SWMBO's 240D it had steel rims on it. Along with a set of 
bunts

that someone had cut the tires off and left the bead on the rim.
Three of the steeles had dents along the bead lip. It had fairly new 
rubber on them.

I decided to swap the rubber to the bunts.
A friend had  the HF tire machine we mounted it to a 1" T shaped piece 
of plywood.
Stand on the leg portion of the T put tire on machine pull handle pop of 
the bead

used a recp. saw to cut the bead.
Cleaned up the bunts and used a HF powder coating sprayer with the HF 
sliver power
coating. Bunts came out looking good. Thp HF paint is almost a match for 
the original

MB paint. To bad HF doesn't carry it any more.

The biggest issue then is where to install it. If need be, I
think it could be bolted to a 4X4 square of plywood so that it
could be used without permanent installation in one's garage.

Might work, but there is a _lot_ of force applied.  Something more
secure than a loose piece of wood may be required.

The wood isn't effectively loose if you're standing on it while you operate the 
machine. That way it's self contained with the tool and the power source on the 
same platform.
Then the only question is whether the wood is strong enough to transmit the 
force from the base of the stand to your feet. I'm thinking the plywood should 
be about an inch thick.

People started slotting the screws with dremel cutoff wheels, so the carb

It is just ask the Mustang V8 I trashed the other day .
4 lane as I pulled up next to him at the traffic signal he was in the 
right lane
with his left blinker on wanting to move over to my lane when the light 
changed.
While we sat there waiting for the light to cycle he kept looking over 
at me reving his
engine. Light changed we both floored it. Lets say he was astonished 
with the acceleration
the Old Fart in the MB showed. When I hit 60 I backed off and that's 
when he finally caught

up with me.

fired up the car and no check engine light came back on. So shifted 
to drive, and it shifted back to park without having to turn car 
off. Took it for a drive and it shifted thru all gears perfectly. So 
should I call they guy and tell him I stole the car and there was 
nothing wrong with it?


I'm still going to pull the plug and see it it's leaking into the

Re: [MBZ] OT: Cobalt Milk Shake??

[Russ Williams via Mercedes]

Flush the system with nothing but fresh water. Then replace with Dexcool 
only.
If the Dexcool has not been changed since it was built in '08 you have 
major damage
to the cooling system. Dex. tends to go to the acidic side after 3 years 
after 5 years
it's depleted and goes to the High side of the Ph scale and starts to 
eat pinholes
in the aluminum  cores of the radiator and heater. Try to get the 
Pre-mixed Dexcool.
If you can't then mix it with distilled H2O only. Dex doesn't play nice 
with city or

well water.
I was at a friends shop last week he had a 2010 Vette in that needed a 
new radiator
and heater core. Seems the Cheby stealership charged him to change out 
the Dex but
never did. Ph was 7 on the stuff that frends tech drained out of the 
system. Owner
now if fighting with the stealership and Cheby Regional Office for them 
to pay for the

repairs.

on the inside of the coolant overflow tank lid. The car runs well and the oil 
itself shows no problem. The car has about 100 kmi. and uses no oil between

Is this a concern? Is a coolant flush and replacement indicated?

  


Also, is there a decent aftermarket repair manual for this car? He says it's 
due for a brake job.

  


Is someone going to offer $500 for this POS?

On Sat,9/24/16 19:58, Jim Cathey via Mercedes wrote:

I don't know where to get a 'good' LED PS.  Most assemblies have them
built-in.  Consider that our lowly 48" fluorescent shop lights eat bulbs
like crazy.  They have cheap electronic ballasts in them.  The old-school
fixtures with magnetic ballasts in them have never needed a new bulb, and
they run on the same circuit and with the same bulbs.  (The ballast is the
bulb power supply.  Current-limited mid-voltage while running, with HV and
bulb-warming starting capabilities too.)

LED's also need power supplies, but radically different.  (Well, the
current-limiting is sort of the same.  But the rest is all different.)
  Except for incandescents, line power is NOT a good match for ANY lighting
technology.  (Well, maybe EL, but that's dim, and green...)  Even that,
maybe.  Seems like around 6-12V is optimum for incandescents, so a simple
transformer power supply is their PS.  (The longer thinner filaments for
higher voltages are kind of fragile.  But automotive headlights
successfully put up with a lot of crap.)

Rewiring them is a piece of cake. You just cut out the Ballast and wire 
the Hot & Neutral to the tombstones on one end.
i replaced the tubes from Home Despot 40 bucks for 2 the ballast that 
was in the fixture was bad and was going to be
over 40 to replace. Toggled is the brand they sell. I got Daylight 
(5000K) bulbs. You can find the LED bulb kits cheaper on the net.
It took me 30 min to change out mine that was from the time I went to

2 years ago I replaced he transformers in the four tube light assembly over 
the sink. The last few weeks sometimes one, sometimes two of the bulbs on the 
same shared transformer didn't come on until I twisted one of them in its 
sockets.
Yesterday I found that just touching the glass in the middle of the tube was 
all that was needed to make it come on. I've done that repeatedly and every 
time the tube(s) light up as bright as usual.
The only thing I can think of is some sort of capacitance effect that lets weak 
voltage/amperage from the dying transformer ionize enough of the gas to 
complete the circuit.
The primary cause is probably the Chinese transformer from Home Depot since 
neither of the new bulbs is affected.

It's an interesting website. For example, currently it shows

wind from several directions.
The website also shows other aspects of moving weather patterns which 
are easier to understand than the usual static weather bureau notation.
