Re: [MBZ] O.T. Cummins Water Pump Soiled the Sleeping Slab

That’s generally my calculation. How many hours to change the part, how much do I save on the aftermarket part, and how much is my time worth if I have to do the job again if the cheaper part fails? “Lifetime” warranties are great, but they don’t pay for the labor. On Thu, Mar 23, 2023, at

Re: [MBZ] CL600 Update

Thanks! Yes, you apply it with a wax pad/applicator by hand, then let it flash off, which takes about 1-2 minutes. Then a microfiber towel to wipe/buff off. I’m skeptical of any of this “ceramic” stuff as when it all boils down to it, the thing that matters is how long it lasts. In this

Re: [MBZ] CL600 Update

So do you apply that by hand with a pad of some sort or do it with the buffer? I used some Meguiars wax with some sort of ceramic aspect and used the buffer after the clay bar, compound, polish steps. Just noticed today it needs it again as the water is not beading up. --FT Sent from iFōn >

Re: [MBZ] CL600 Update

The electronic keys have always been pricey. I don’t recall them ever being that cheap, but I could be wrong. Again, that’s the electronic key and the blade. Remember that they’re two different parts and have to be ordered as such. -D > On Mar 23, 2023, at 7:24 PM, Kaleb Striplin via

Re: [MBZ] CL600 Update

If you mean my local dealer, I paid around $260 for the electronic key and the blade that goes with it. Looks like retail is around $325 or thereabouts. The way keys are disappearing for these older cars, I’m making sure I’ve got at least two of them. I always do anyway, but the more the

Re: [MBZ] O.T. Cummins Water Pump Soiled the Sleeping Slab

It looks pretty easy and straight forward.The cheapest I have found the water pump kit is $252, but I’d have to ship it. I can drive to the ginormous Cummins dealer near my home and snag one for $282. What else should I consider changing out whilst I monkeying around in there? Of course I will

Been a quiet couple of days, as I have to work during the day, of course. Got to the dealer on Wednesday to pick up some things, primarily a new key, both electronic and hard/blade. Got a replacement lamp assembly for the LF clearance light, as the retaining tab had broken on it when I went to

How difficult is it to change the water pump on that engine? I would think the worst case scenario would be that the replacement does not last as long if you buy aftermarket. Have you tried looking online for an OEM with a discounted price? Randy On 23/03/2023 5:29 PM, Bob Rentfro via

It appears the water pump on the Cummins just crapped out. Best I can tell coolant is coming out of the weep hole and slinging all over. When I shut it off the last two times, an abrupt short squeal was heard (2005 Dodge 2500 SLT 4x4 Cummins 5.9, 132K miles for reference) Cummins water pumps are
