There is a guy valled austincarnut on superturbodiesel. Not sure if he would do it. Works at a dealer I think. I was going to buy a wagon head from him but the machinist junked it. On Sun, May 20, 2018, 11:10 AM Dan Penoff via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Anyone in or around Austin

Yes that thing will run a vnt turbo also I think. The most full featured one is the powertrain control solutions tcm 2300 (i think thats the latest one) fromSound German Automotive in seattle, but it is trickier to set up. Most diy types seem to prefer ole fejer's ofgear box. On Sun, May 20,

Re: [MBZ] Spare tires

The touareg had the collapsible spare and an air pump. Seemed like a good compromise. Land Rovers apparently get better mileage with the spare on the hood. So perhaps that is a model to follow in this weight-and/or-fuel-saving age. On Sun, May 13, 2018, 9:30 AM fmiser via Mercedes

All the lighting for permitted construction is already required to be LED in CA, which probably has more associated cost than this solar thing. One wonders which will create/save more energy over time. On Thu, May 10, 2018, 9:20 AM Karl Wittnebel <atypical...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ga

Cool. Ehat I would have given for it yesterday evening. 3/32 welding wire does not work, and 1/16" is too small. Apparently per youtube, coat hanger wire is the ticket. Need to get the new tumbler ordered. Running on a temp replacement tumbler and key right now that my local mechanic had sitting

I dont know a whole lot about it except to say that it is financially challenging fir utilities who must revamp grids to deal with distributed suppliers at the same time that they face declining revenue from reduced consumption. California already pays Arizona to take its surplus solar

Thanks for all the input. Lots of good info there. Went with some fancy front loading LG stuff from Home Depot. They will deliver and install on Thursday for like $20. It is a gas dryer so they need to install fresh flex line etc. These LGs have all the gimmicks including steam sterilize and
