Got it home. I think it’s going to need a new chain and tensioner as it has a
loud rattle for about a second when first started cold. I checked down the oil
hole looking at the tensioner and didn’t see any holes visible. Supposedly the
holes showing indicate the tensioner is extended too far. Ha

summer months, because of reduced demand for heating oil. The price doesn't
drop anymore because a lot of refined diesel gets exported. Gotta love the

Ssshhh. Don't tell anyone, but there are pipelines that crisscross the country,

I just got back into town from picking up the bluetec. I’m down to 1/4 tank of
diesel on the truck, I wonder if I should go ahead and fill up, or wait and see
if it drops. It seems to have dropped a little bit, but have seen that before
then suddenly shoots back up.

Completely nanny free hotrod that you can buy parts for at any local FLAPS
and that requires no interface with long and NLA supply of Mercedes parts
for 3 to 10 times the price.
In a twisted way, it makes some sense unless you know and understand
