    Mercede Benz engine MBE260

    My MBE 900 is an '07, pre-DPF, 250hp. It's got 317k on it and has been very dependable so far. The only repair was an EGR cooler when it was still under warranty. Fuel mileage is good, about 10.5 most of the time. It ain't got tons of power, but I did pass a Hino going up Fancy Gap a couple of...

    Motors, MPG, and Reliability

    I'm with Greg. The Series 60 has earned an awesome reputation. Fuel mileage, reasonable price on parts, and from what I've heard I think they don't leak oil more often than any of the others. Detroits were terrible for oil leaks back in the 2-stroke days and that reputation seems to hang on.

    frame mounted batteries

    I don't have a photo, but you can see that on a Ford van with the Powerstroke. Mine has one of the batteries on the frame. When they went to the 6.0 they put both of them on the frame. A metal fab shop should be able to fix you up.

    Worst roads in America?

    Michigan may deserve a "most improved" award. Anyone remember what it was like on 75 between Taylor and the Matty Maroon bridge about 10 years ago?

    Owner playing with my pay

    Calling it a crisis may be a bit strong, but how is anything other than your money being there on payday acceptable? That's how it works, you do your job as agreed and you get paid on payday. Why would it be O.K., with no advance warning or other arrangement agreed upon, for your money not to be...

    I have met him and I honestly believe that if someone had the patience to train him, he could be taught to set up a mic stand and say "check, check."

    Which GPS?

    I find that the route out is usually better than the one it gave me coming in when it's different. Why couldn't it give me the good route coming in? Have you gone into the menu to see what the settings are? You may be set up for shortest, not fastest.

    Help with scanning

    Thanks for the replies. My son came over and helped out. The procedure is a bit different than before, but no big deal. I'm saving into pictures, couldn't find my scans. It's sure nice to have a machine with a little bit of speed.

    Help with scanning

    I just got a new machine with 7 and I can't figure out how to scan into an e-mail. With XP, when I hit attach and browse I could get to "my scans" and it was no problem. I can't now. Little help?

    Ya gonna mow the snow? Made it home for a couple of days. I finally got a new 'puter and I'm getting used to 7. So far, scanning something into an e-mail doesn't seem as easy as it was on XP.

    Loading in Hope Mills, N.C. for the greater metropolitan dump known as Detroit. Looks like a couple days at the house.

    Edited Posts

    I would think that someone who takes the time to post their opinion about issues here would be concerned about their credibility. How could someone that frequently says that people should be summarily shot, and he wishes people that he didn't agree with would die, expect to have any credibility...

    Vans with boxes

    If the truck is over 10,000# GVWR you'll have to scale in many states, even if you're not loaded that heavy at that time.

    The Headline Typo We've All Been Waiting For

    Just remember, as I've pointed out before, you can't say Dick Cheney, but you can say Harry Wang. Whoa!! I stand corrected! It appears you can now say Dick Cheney.
