    Ebay Starter

    I ordered the one from db also...... it was delivered today. I hope to install it this weekend if I get back in town. I was also planning to make up new battery cables this weekend too. I have some new 2/0 welding cable (it is even blue) and all the necessary ends.

    hot motor hard start and no power

    Sounds like my company truck when I lost 4 injectors, intake gasket, egr valve, egr cooler,and oil cooler.......all about a month after having the head gaskets done. Then 2 more injectors a couple of weeks later. Feels like it runs on 5 or maybe 6 cylinders when accelerating until engine is...

    Good news and bad news...

    lost 2 trans in my 79 300sd in the past 2 years, both because of reverse. I haven't gotten around to rebuilding either of them yet.

    Another problem on a different car

    On 116 and 126 cars the gauges and brake lights share the same fuse. Maybe it is the same for a 123. Have you upgraded to the copper/brass fuses. Got them on ebay from a seller named gabe something. I used to have a lot of intermittent electrical problems when I was using the aluminum fuses.

    Stainless Steel Freeze Plugs

    Cool link! I had a city inspector try to give me a hard time on a multi-million dollar job because he thought, after performing a magnet test, that we didn't provide stainless as specified. He doesn't use the magnet test anymore. C&P from the link: All austenitic grades have very low...

    Got some money to put in the old girl.

    Timing chain guides. I had one break last year while driving at 80 mph and it broke the chain, cam, cam towers, valve cover, and ruined a couple of the timing gears. The guide by the cam gear is pretty easy to change. The tensioner rail/guide is harder to change, and is the one that broke (at...
