Well the bottom hose is not supposed to get hot, the radiator is supposed to cool off the coolant, so maybe it will be warmish. Really hot or stays cold would be problems. Used radiator from a car that had the head off, hmmm, maybe a bad radiator blew the headgasket or cracked the head on that

Bad fan clutch for starters. If you had a cracked head or blown head gasket you would probably have oil in the reservoir by now. Easy to test the visco clutch -- when it's hot, have someone shut the engine off while you watch the fan. If it doesn't stop within a rotation or two, it's out of

[MBZ] I think I blew up a 601 today

I spent quite a bit of time moving cars from the front of the barn to the back of the barn.  One car was this 85 190D that has been sitting for about 4 years.  Basically all that is involved is driving around the side of the bard to the back.  Of course the car was stuck a little bit from not

Re: [MBZ] I think I should

I've got one of those on the back of the ASV. It throws a helluva lot of light. On the front I've got 4 of the smaller 6 LED units which are nice because they can be individually aimed allowing a wide path of light. Curt Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Mon, Nov 5, 2018 at 10:18 AM,

[MBZ] I think I should

get a couple of these and mount one on the front and one on the back of the $500E300, just to light up the brodozers that like to drive around with their 100W off-road lights blinding everyone. The "guest workers" seem to be particularly fond of these ultrabright LED light plates too.

Re: [MBZ] I think I found the source: rear axle knock

Yes it's a choice between swapping in new seals and bearings for the long haul confidence or swap a used one in and hope for better results than the one you had. On Wed, Oct 10, 2018, 2:09 PM Max Dillon via Mercedes wrote: > Can the side bearings and seals be replaced without a special jig or

Re: [MBZ] I think I found the source: rear axle knock

Can the side bearings and seals be replaced without a special jig or other special tools? I will have to check the FSM. I've got a nice differential that I can swap in, probably less hassle. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300 On October 10, 2018 1:17:50 PM EDT, Karl Wittnebel

Re: [MBZ] I think I found the source: rear axle knock

Yes they are both 2.65. I will also have an extra 185mm 2.65 diff shortly, as I am swapping to the 210mm stuff with LSD. Worn clips wont cause the knock. Changing those bearings and seals is easy. You can also do the pinion seal. On Mon, Oct 8, 2018, 9:20 PM Craig via Mercedes wrote: >

Re: [MBZ] I think I found the source: rear axle knock

Well according to the technical data book, ratio is 2.65 for both 124.133 (300D Turbo) and the 124.193 (300TD) so looks like I won't have to trouble you with shipping that diff Fred. Thanks for the offer though! If you are interested in boxing up and shipping that cargo roller / net, I'd be very

Re: [MBZ] I think I found the source: rear axle knock

Fred, [assuming the 300D differential is wrong] I'd be happy to pay whatever grey hound charges for both the diff and the cargo net. Their online quote tool is rather unfriendly, but the price is much nicer if you set up the shipment that way. I'm going to dig into the technical data book and

Re: [MBZ] I think I found the source: rear axle knock

Max. I wish you lived closer, (or VV) so that you could have the leftover diff. from my 1987 300TD. Replaced it, convinced that it was whining. turned out to be the center bearing assy in the drive shaft. Only good thing was that the mounts were replaced. Know anyone in transit between here and

Re: [MBZ] I think I found the source: rear axle knock

Oops. I watched the video again. I thought you were moving it in and out. Off hand I'd say bearing is bad, and I'd suppose it's not an easy fix. I really don't like swapping known parts for unknown used parts. it's a bit of a crap shoot. Rick ___

Re: [MBZ] I think I found the source: rear axle knock

Does anyone have a copy of Dave M.'s spreadsheet of differentials? I'm thinking that an '87 300D diff is different ratio than an '87 300TD, but I'd like to be sure. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Oct 8, 2018 at 3:37 PM Max Dillon wrote: > https://youtu.be/7ZEMTHaHEeE > > Pushing
