[MBZ] ATF

I was told by a Texaco technical person several years ago that ATF is a 10 weight non-detergent oil with an antifoam additive, which is probably a silicone oil. The silicone oil, possibly DC 200, would not burn or ignite. It would take a long time to accumulate silicon deposits. I visited a

[MBZ] trans fluid level

I have been told by several good transmission mechanics that it does not hurt to over fill an auto transmission. If it is too full, it will just overflow thru the dipstick tube and not damage the trans. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go

[MBZ] Adsit

I have never heard a good word for Adsit. George Murphy does not like them either. I purchased a heater fan motor new from them several years ago; it came without the squirrel cage fan. It is almost impossible to transfer that fan blade. -- next part -- An HTML

[MBZ] dealers

Reminds me of a time when I lived near a small town in central Illinois and the Chevrolet dealer was Ralph Long. The bankers wife taught English somewhere . The banker drove Buicks, but he would buy his wife a new Chevrolet every two years with a signed blank check. I purchased several cars

[MBZ] Toyota vs GM

It has been published several times that last year, both Toyota and GM produced the same number of vehicles, something like seventeen million, but Toyota's profit was 17 billion, and GM had a loss of 39 billion. Several people are going to have make some kind of sacrifice to achieve equity.

[MBZ] 83 6.2 van

If the van is not rusted out, in my opinion, it would be a good purchase. The early Roosamaster/Stanadyne injection pumps had a plastic disc in the drive that would break in the first 50k miles. During rebuild, a stainless disc was used, and rebuilt pumps would usually last at least 150k miles.

[MBZ] 2wd vs 4wd

some time ago I saw the statement that two wheel drive will take one to 90% of the places to go; four wheel drive will get you stuck tighter and deeper. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

[MBZ] 5.7 diesels

The 5.7 and the 6.2 diesels used the Roosa Master, now labeled Stanadyne, injection pumps. They had a plastic disc in the drive that would break. It was replaced with a SS disc and the pumps were then durable. GM changed from nitrided camshafts to heat/quench camshafts around 1975. I had a

[MBZ] ATF

I was told by a Texaco technical person that automatic transmission fluid is a 10 weight non detergent oil with an antifoam agent; and that it is identical to powersteering fluid and hydraulic jack fluid. That was about 20 years ago; specs may have changed since then. I have a case of Mercedes

[MBZ] diesel suburban

I have 95 diesel suburban and drive it at 60 miles per hour on trips. I get 22 mpg at that speed but it would drop 20% at 65. With the 40 gallon tank, it will easily go more than 800 miles. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor:

[MBZ] ethanol

When I worked at an ethanol plant, ethanol came off the rectifier at 192.7 proof; therefore it would have about 7% water. Anhydrous ethanol was achieved by distilling an azeotrope of ethanol and benzene. Ethanol is a very good solvent; it appears to me that it dissolves residue in old tanks

[MBZ] fuel consumption

Concerning the 240D running all nite--my old GMC 6.2 engine manual stated that the 6.2 burned 0.3 gallon per hour at idle. Therefore, a 4 cylinder diesel should use about 0.15 gallons per hour, or 1.5 gallons per 10 hours. ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For
