Emission testing is only in and around St. Louis and Kansas City and last I checked for cars newer than 1969. The rest of the state has only safety inspections every two years. -- Philip ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

It is just an OBD-II flash so only a worry for the sort of folks who accept a check engine light as normal. In other words, it is the bare minimum required by the Clean Air Act as a nonattainment area.

Interesting idea, poor implementation. Besides in many places it'll never be legal to have that old an engine in that new a truck. Not here for sure. Actually now that I've crossed to the dark side I see everything in terms of a VW diesel. You can build one of the 90HP engines up to 150HP pretty easily with a chip, bigger injectors and a bigger IP and maybe intercooler. The engine is so small and light you don't face the issues there that you do with an MB diesel and you keep your power to weight ratio much more positive. Theres a guy thats done a CJ7 that came out real nice. I think after my Jetta rusts out thats my plan, find a CJ, put a kevlar tub (lighter than steel, stronger than fiberglass) on it and the VW diesel in with some minor power mods. 31" tires, 5spd trans, lockers front and rear. A moderately powerful 4wd with decent offroad capability that I can actually afford fuel for. Speaking of which I commuted with the Jetta this past week, 560 miles or so. I fueled up twice, once because I had to once because we're on vacation and I wanted it full. First tank was 48mpg, second was 52mpg. I think 55mpg should be achievable, that first tank I was flogging the car to see how it would hold up (well, in part because its a fun car to drive) the second I slowed down and tried not to go over 75mph. -Curt Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2013 20:04:28 -0500 From: "Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] I think curt or somebody needs this
Local crawlers are pretty stuck on the 617 NA. It has enough power to get them where they want, no turbo to mess things up, and easy to fit. The only guys using a VW diesel are in the suzuki Samurai. That is a really good match of HP to weight. clay On Oct 5, 2013, at 2:05 PM, Curt Raymond wrote: > Interesting idea, poor implementation.
