Diesel RVs: [diesel_mercedes] Road Eats

5.17

Hi Warren ;

There used to be a really good Pizza place in Frazier Park , back in the mid ~ late 1990's I was dating and drove through on dates bi weekly , was lots of good little hole in the wall eateries there then .

100 + MPH is a good thing to do occasionally as it heats up the combustion chambers really well and blows out the accumulated carbon ~ the car always runs better after that but , I'm skittish because I don't ever want to wreck again , I'm in constant pain now from the last event .

Good tires , shocks and no loose suspension bits is critical to doing this safely .

It's been cool and humid in L.A. so I rolled on some heat and Lo ! the HVAC quit entirely .

I wonder of the electric auxiliary water pump is too old and draws too much current or something ? .

I was told there's a fuse (or something) deep inside the P.B.U. that fries when the Aux. pump seizes or draws too much current .

Dammit ~ it's almost Summer and no fan makes these cars miserable in the heat we get .

Thanks for the greetings from Lebec. Great Mexican restaurant up the road in "downtown" Frazier Park.

Not by the truck stops. Drove through there late January this year and it was snowing and blowing.

Got through just before the CHP closed it down.

110 MPH, nice, kind of an Autobahn feeling
