Diesel RVs: Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: MORE Thursday Fuel Funnies

I need to do a few repairs this week on my MB, as well as tires and front end work, yet now I also need to replace the master cylinder on my Toyota pickup, as just crawled out of the middle of the Mojave without much in the way of brakes. Glad it has a manual tranny. We were camping out, yet decided to leave when the gale force, frigid winds picked up today.

Thanx ! .

That's about what I had from Chevron ;

I ran it out and refilled the tank with Mobil brand and it's clear again now .

Still having some issues with slow idle and occasional stalling .

I got up and out before daybreak this morning and drove to San Bernardino where LKQ LIED and said they had TWO W-123 Coupes , of course not one W-123 in the yard but I did find a couple bits and bobs ($8.95) .

Then I headed West stopping at various LKQ yards on my way , only the Rialto yard had the same two picked over W-123's I hit Friday , as my HVAC fan still isn't working I bought the " TEMPOMAT " fan control box , I don't know if it's any good but i have to get some air flowing through this car soon as Summer is coming up fast .

When I left this , last yard , I started the engine and heard a terrible squealing racket from under the hood ~ popped it and wasn't able to discern what's making the noise , prolly the water pump (replaced not long ago) or the alternator (ditto) . I had where to be so I hit the road and after a few miles the racket stopped .

I hope I can get the time to remove the V-Belts and hand twirl tings to see which one is rough indicating a bad bearing .

Or maybe it's just old dried out V-Belts clamoring for replacement....

It rained to - day =8-( not fun when you're Junk Yarding .

I need to find a W-116 300SD / SDL A.S.A.P. if anyone has one for parts....I need some non wearing engine parts .

Is Ben from Detroit still out there ? .

no it's diesel.
