Looks sweet! I like having weather while on the road. I wonder if it holds the channel when switched off and if it uses a regular mic.

It's a lot of work keeping it rolling. Well, keeping them rolling...

Been doin' something different. Less drivin' aint it...

I found Peachparts a few weeks ago and, yea, there is a lot of good info over there. I've seen the diesel kleen at truckstops so I'll give it a try.

Oh yea, no ECM, OBD, EGR or anything on mine....

That sucks about your paint. I looked into some later model diesel Mercs But I just know so little about them and the prospect of having some catastrophic ($$) failure freaked me out. Kind of the...

Cool pics! I was hoping to see an e39 M5.

I just put new tires and Bilstein shocks on it and had it aligned. The front suspension is solid.

It should have about a 1000 mile range when I get finished.
I actually think that's an honest...

I had 2 Cadillacs and a Mercedes.

Now I have 2 Mercedes and a Cadillac.

WTF???

Valve overlap, oil vapor from pcv system, and in Audi's case, add to that valve-guides that are designed to allow oil seepage on the valves. It all gets baked on and just accumulates.

Again, not...

Maybe on an I4. To get to the three aft spark plugs on my V6 requires removing the entire intake system up to the manifold.[/QUOTE]And what will it take to replace these "laser plugs"?[/QUOTE]

A...

Someone wanna explain why DI engines are prone to this? I understand it's because there is no fuel running over the back of the valves but WHERE is the carbon coming from. Diesels are DI and don't...

I got REALLY lucky when I got my '05. I'm never lucky... The guy was selling it for the payoff and he had put a big down payment on it when he got it.

Sturmmachine is in ze garage...

Got all my CMs and put some NMO caps on the trunk :p

Flying down to Miami in the AM to pick up a new road warrior :eek:

Projekt sturmmachine

Diesel FTW :D

You OK after the bad weather X50?

^
You never said what year Benz you're looking at. I've been test driving some MB diesels. The newer ones (140 I think, 90's models anyway) haven't really impressed me. Nice, but the $$ and skills...

I left her in the trunk...

I've been driving the '06 STS and the '80 Benz. Still have the '05 SRT4 which I may turn into a flat black hyper stealth mobile one day... Love or hate the SRT4 it's a...

I hated to see it go and I'm still in mourning...

Anyway, a guy offered me $2000 more than I paid for it in Oct '09. I've put 90,000 miles on it at 52 cents/mile so it's earned its keep. Awesome...

I think some of the reason behind leaving them running may be related to early diesels having "pony motors" for starting. They actually had small gas motors that were started by hand and then used...

When you click on "reply" there's a little film icon you click on above the text box. I had to ask too...

So you getting a diesel Benz? What body, motor etc. You looking at? I think the 126...

I'm thinking about one of these. I've been researching what to look for with them.

I could see passing the miles in one :cool: I must have little...

I guess so. I've been leaving the Caddy at home more and more lately. I've put a couple thousand miles on the benz since I got it and it hasn't gotten old yet.

Go figure... Thing gets AMAZING...

Yep, just check everything out UNDERNEATH the trunk lid before you drill. That's gonna dictate where the mount can go. I'd also make sure you can open your trunk without the antenna getting in the...

I thought you had a CTS-V?[/QUOTE]

I still have the V but I picked up the old Merc to fool around with. I'm thinking about getting a mid 80's diesel Merc. for a dedicated road car.

That's the one. And yea, I barely trust it out on the road. I really put myself out on a limb by taking those assignments AND by driving that old car. Sometimes I just do stupid stuff...
