Re: W221 S550 hunt
Rolling right up on next 5k oil change interval. I have been mulling over what PM I want to do in addition to the oil change. It is also due for a brake fluid flush. So here is the list: - Oil change. I seem to be out of M1 0W-40 so I will switch to something else. Probably either Castrol Edge 0W-40...

Re: Mercedes GL/GLS test drives
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...

Re: Mercedes GL/GLS test drives
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...

Re: Take that, Cox!!
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. I moved it to the second floor from where it was in the basement ...

Re: Install ductless mini-split
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...

Re: Install ductless mini-split
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...

Re: Mercedes E63S thread
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.
