You are also due for a transmission service.

Finally decided to look into the cylinder liner fiasco. There is an active thread on this here: https://mbworld.org/forums/e-class-w212/881769-m278-silitec-cylinders-mid-cycle-switch-cast-iron-cylinders.html And right at the top (and can be verified with the PDF attachment), the engine breakpoint fo...

Yeah I agree it can't really be less integrated than stock. It might be a bit of a task to pull together the rest of the towing package though. Hopefully my list is accurate: https://forums.kevinallenmoore.com/viewtopic.php?p=23432#p23432 I guess I'm also wondering if a Curt hitch can really take th...

Update. I did the Verizon 300/300 upgrade a while back and did demote my G1100 to just wired duties. However I have decided that my single TP-link AC1900 (placed in the basement) is not providing me sufficient range in all the places.

After a ton of back and forth with Mr Cool support (as opposed to Ingrams), they agreed that I need another condenser. Sheesh. That said, and given the fact that I think I have leaks, I am going to see if I can get Ingrams to do more for me. My claim is that I was skeptical of the new condenser as a...

Performance seemed bad so I checked pressure. A hair under 400 though when cranked it was doing heat with the louvers pointed down, just not as good as it should have been. So I added 0.25 lb refrigerant assuming that would get it right back to 425. Nope. Ended up doing that two more times for a tot...

Regarding timing chain stuff. The summary is, I MAY need the updated tensioners if they have not already been done. My engine VIN is in the range of needing just the tensioners. It already has the updated check valves. https://mbworld.org/forums/w212-amg/858565-14-e63-s-startup-rattle-help.html http...

123.7 gal @ $3.39.

Exeter Fuel is $3.38 @ 500+ gallons. At this amount their price would have been $3.60. Saved $25.

The only other thing I can really do is just disconnect the battery entirely and see if there is any measurable decrease in resting voltage after sitting for a week. There is not. It's not the battery. I charged the battery and after a week of sitting in cold, the voltage is like 12.9. So there is ...
