Definitely an 88. I bought it the year I moved to WI, which was 88. October or November, as I got it shortly before Thanksgiving.

It’s a purely subjective thing. I knew people in WI that swore by them, because they had never hit a deer. However, I’m not really sure that’s a valid assumption.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill (Mitch Haley)
My carbed version wasn't bad on the highway either. However, as the transmission got old it required effort to keep it in overdrive. When it dropped into 3rd the rpm rose and the mileage dropped. Also noisy and rougher at 3K plus rpm. In 4th around 2K rpm. Had to be very light on the gas pedal or it would shift down and proved difficult to get it back into 4th at higher speeds.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill (Mitch Haley)
I had an 87 Blazer I loved but it rusted out in the rear after I moved to Houston from Boston area and the rear tailgate would no longer open. I had put a new engine in it, which I pulled along with the tranny and have in the garage, and gave the hulk to some guy I knew who was into cars. Engine had the TBI which was somewhat problematic toward the end. I found some app a guy in Finland or somewhere had made to run on XP, along with a little circuit he designed you could tap into the ALDI (I think that is what it was called) and read engine data in real time on a laptop. I did that a few times, it was kinda interesting, but reprogramming the computer was a very involved thing. A newer 4bbl or a controllable throttle body injection system would probably be the thing to do if I ever do something with the engine. As I recall it would get about 17 on the highway, about what the 96 Silverado and 2000 Suburban get. Not a lot of progress in that aspect. --FT On 12/9/18 10:58 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes wrote: The 88 had throttle body injection, so it was actually pretty good on fuel, especially on the highway. -D On Dec 9, 2018, at 10:46 AM, tyee165 via Mercedes wrote: I drove an 86 Silverado Suburban for almost 10 years.

Beats me. Just a base model 1988 Suburban. You couldn’t get much more basic than this one. They thought I was nuts because I didn’t care that it didn’t have a radio.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill (Mitch Haley)
It has been crazy season around here lately with the boy deers chasing the girl deers and other boy deers to get them away from the girl deers they lust after, and paying NO attention to anything else, esp cars on the roads. I drive the 2-lane country roads on this island and at night one has to be especially careful as there will be multiples running across chasing or being chased. So far so good for me but there are plenty around to keep the clean-up crews well-fed. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Dec 8, 2018, at 10:31 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes > wrote: > > deer ___ 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
Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill (Mitch Haley)
The one I hit with the Suburban I didn’t kill. I was going down I-43 just south of Sheboygan, WI when it started to run into the road. I was driving at highway speed and my youngster was in the cargo area unsecured, so I slowed down as quickly as I could in order to not make him become airborne. The deer lost it’s footing on the hard surfaced road, and instead of ending up directly in front of me, got hit in the head by my passenger side mirror. That spun it around so that it slammed into the passenger side (front) door parallel to the truck, after which it bounced into the road behind me. An elderly couple in a Buick then hit it head on, causing it to fly over their car and land on the shoulder of the road. I pulled over immediately, saw Old People were OK but stunned, then noticed the two kids in the Chrysler K-car pull over, get out, grab the deer carcass by the legs and toss it into their trunk, then drive off. At that point I was calling the sheriff to get an accident report filed so I had something to turn into my insurance company. Ironically, this was an area where there were cornfields on both sides of the interstate, and deer were quite common in the area as they were out in the fields eating the corn stubble.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill
Yes, I definitely agree about the horn. I use it when necessary.

Then, the most effective reaction is to sound the horn. And not a polite "toot, toot" but push the button and keep pushing until the risk is over. At the same time, slow down.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill (Mitch Haley)
Roger, I thought your 300SD was pretty much a daily driver? Is that not the case? I’m a little curious about something, as I was thinking about you the other day. There’s a high end resale furniture shop that I frequent here, since I used to build custom furniture when I had the space and equipment to do so. I like to go in and look over the pieces they take in, which are sometimes very unusual and unique pieces from estates and other such sources. I deeply appreciate the fine work that went into creating these sorts of things, and I really enjoy looking at them in detail to see how the builder made certain joints or applied marquetry to enhance a part of the design. While I was speaking with one of the owners as I walked through the store with them, they were bemoaning the fact that furniture such as china cabinets and sideboards were falling by the wayside and starting to disappear from a lot of furniture builder’s catalogs. They seem to think that the current generations no longer place any value on such legacy possessions such as the family silver or china, or have any desire to own furniture such as this. They say that more often than not, younger clients are coming in and buying dining room furniture and leaving the china cabinets behind. Since you deal in china, I was wondering if you are seeing a similar decrease in interest in such things? On a related note, I was just looking at our family silver that was handed down to me. We use it when we have family gatherings or guests, but I can see why others might not place a lot of value on such things. For that matter, I was also looking at the tea service I gave the wife for an anniversary gift many, many years ago. It has almost no value on the market these days - not that we would ever sell it. -D > On Dec 8, 2018, at 4:07 PM, ROGER HALE via Mercedes > wrote: > > Sorry Mitch, but I didn't tag you to this thread.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill (Mitch Haley)
Well, since Roger tagged me to this thread... I have a W163 that had been sitting for a few weeks. The previous owner sold it to State Farm after pasting a deer with the left front corner. I have no idea what happened to the venison. I replaced the radiator, headlight, hood/grille, and fender. Still need to replace the fog light, and the front bumper cover has cracks in it, but the cracks are no longer stuffed with deer hair. This weekend's projects include replacing 12 spark plugs and changing the oil.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill
In WI if you hit a deer you have to buy a tag if you want to keep it. I hit a deer years ago with my brand new Chevy Suburban. The deer didn’t survive, and while I was surveying the damage to my truck two kids in a K car pull over, grab the carcass, toss it in their trunk and take off. I’m up thinking that, “That was nice of them, saves the highway guys the hassle of cleaning up.” When I call the sheriff’s office to report the damage they were more worried about who took the deer. The sheriff wanted a description of the two guys and their car rather than filling out an accident report for me. -D > On Dec 7, 2018, at 8:26 PM, Dwight Giles via Mercedes > wrote: > > What a waste of good road kill.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Compost from road kill
10,000 bambis a year hit, x what? $3500 damage to each vehicle on average? That is $35,000,000 a year in damages to vehicles just in MD, a state not known for deer hunting or big deer. If there are 20 states at that rate, the damage would be $700 million a year. I sispect there are more than 200,000 bambi hits a year, plus this does not include the ones where bambi didn't die, or wandered off the right of way before croaking. Safe to say that over a billion a year damage done to vehicles. Eat more Bambi! Save on insurance! Lobby your legislature for open season anytime the temp is below 40º at night.
