    Found a new puddle under the front today... at first I thought it was powersteering fluid because it was oily and clear... then I realized it was oil (bright and clear because I had just changed it)... being parked nose down hill had shown me a few leaks between the oil pan and the block...

    I change the secondary (spin on) in my mercedes atleast once a year... it also has a primary see through that gets changed when it starts to clog... If the primary starts to clog repeatedly quickly (like more often than every oil chainge) I'll change the primary spin on as well... and its...

    Record heat here on Saturday (103 deg F... probably about 80-90% humidity too), and I just relaxed on Sunday... I did pick at a few things while it was cool in the mornings and evenings. Found another coolant leak when I parked nose down hill instead of up hill. Was where the hose meets...

    Got up early and replaced the belts, serviced the power steering... and started to ponder the mech pump bypass... see this electric fuel pump thread for more on that. While I was down there I noticed I didn't like the starter wire rubbing on so much stuff and figured I'd put some more black...

    Electric fuel Pump install?

    Shade_Tree came over today and did alot of the work again [thumbzup]... today we got the mech pump out, fashioned a blank off plate, and rtv'd them in place. Remember to remove the pin that engages the arm of the mech pump... mine stayed in place and fell out later or we would have forgot it...

    Electric fuel Pump install?

    I'll probably run it through the fire wall and into the back of the fuse box like you suggested, if I start to blow fuses. I didn't think of that... I'm a shade tree amature afterall! The relay is an interesting idea that I didn't consider: could pull power right off the 12V hot bus and...

    Electric fuel Pump install?

    I was hoping to find a wire in the engine compartment to save going through the fire wall... i think I'd have to pull the fuse box off, run the wire through the firewall, and tap it in the back of the fuse box to do what you are suggesting... or could I just add it to the connector? Please let...
