Re: [MBZ] (SPAM?) Balky 300TD wiper, then it worked, and then nothing

Is there a wiper relay? There is. But if it's anything like the 107, it's only involved in the intermittent function, and parking. And not with the rear wiper. Start simple, check the fuses. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

Re: [MBZ] (SPAM?) Re: Fwd: Cheap preglow relay fix

You can restore dash light function with a wire into the cabin, remove the current bulb and use your wire to hook up another. Thats how my '78 240D works. There's already a wire and a bulb there. Just tap into the right wire in the GP relay's small plug. -- Jim

So I could run a network over the power lines in my house instead of having to run cat5? Wireless is a _shared_ medium. CAT5, using the (now-common) switch is _parallel_. Wherever possible I recommend wired installations, for maximum reliability and speed. A can converse with B, without

Re: [MBZ] (SPAM?) Re: Ancient hard drives on USB

SSD's are excellent, wherever modest size, lots of seeking, and nearly read-only usage patterns are the rule. Perfect, in other words, for software and OS storage. Unless all of these are true, though, they are the _wrong_ choice. Make it your boot drive, if you can, but make sure that _all_

Re: [MBZ] (SPAM?) Re: Local diesel news

If they can get a solid trans behind that 5L Cummins, that might be a damn good truck. But will it bear any resemblance to the 4B/6B of old, or will it be a much lighter V8 thing like the Isuzu? Still could be interesting, but probably not the 300-400kmi engine that the 6BT is. (Or was, since

Re: [MBZ] (SPAM?) Re: Local diesel news

IMHO, Cummins is the leader in medium and large diesel engines. I'd expect a new engine to be as good or better than ones that it replaces. Luther KB5QHUForest Park, IL '98 ML320 Max (169,xxx mi) On 8/20/2013 8:21 PM, Jim Cathey wrote: If they can get a solid trans behind that 5L

Maybe. IMO, new technology added more threads to the tire making 700x28s are as comfortable as the old 1-1/4 tire. Also, the tire rubber is thinner and stronger than older tech. Luther KB5QHUForest Park, IL '98 ML320 Max (169,xxx mi) On 8/15/2013 5:04 AM, Mitch Haley wrote: 700x32 is
