Re: [MBZ] replace plug wires?

I might have cut 1/2" off the wire first, but if it seems good, and doesn't misfire at idle, you're probably OK. You can always do a power balance test with a tachometer and a set of plastic "chicken pliers", or a tachometer and pain tolerance. On 2021-08-05 10:30, Allan Streib via Mercedes w

[MBZ] replace plug wires?

OT, but working on my Ghia and when I pulled the spark plug boots off of the plugs, one of the wires just fell out of the boot. The wires are probably 15 years old, but they are silicone wires and still look OK. The pin in the boot had a spiral shape so it looked like it screwed into the end of

Re: [MBZ] Roof replacement and USAA

3-tab is your standard tract house roof. Architectural are cut at different angles and overlaps to look a little more visually interesting. And they cost more. That is my understanding. I don't know if there's any real difference in longevity. I think that you can get 20 or 30 year shingles in

Re: [MBZ] Roof replacement and USAA

Mine is at 17, so I guess we shall see. I do know the policy states it’s paid on ACV rather than replacement value. The primary house is only about 8-9 year old roof and does not state the ACV deal in the policy. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 5, 2021, at 8:43 AM, dan penoff.com via Mercedes >

Re: [MBZ] Roof replacement and USAA

A fried of mine got a new roof, fully covered by insurance, due to hail damage. His roof was by no means new at the time, but I don't know how exactly old it was. I was pretty surprised because I thought they all paid the depreciated value on a roof claim, just like they do when they total a car

Re: [MBZ] Roof replacement and USAA

Not necessarily. If your roof is damaged by the elements, such as from hail or hurricane, they’ll pay to replace/repair it. I had a 20 year old roof that was clearly damaged by a hurricane and my insurer replaced the whole thing, almost $20k worth. A lot of insurers in Florida won’t underwrite

Quarry tile/spanish tile is pretty common in Florida. I see more metal roofs these days, and some cedar shingles (pretty rare) but it's still mostly asphalt in the midwest USA. On Thu, Aug 5, 2021, at 10:01 AM, Dimitri Seretakis via Mercedes wrote: > Is this the only continent that uses asphalt

Re: [MBZ] Roof replacement and USAA

Is this the only continent that uses asphalt garbage on roofs? I just don’t understand why a roof would be intentionally made to be temporary with all other options totally unaffordable. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 5, 2021, at 9:52 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > On 2021-08-05 09
