DOT 3 brake fluid or DOT 4
Hello,
I recently replaced my booster and master-cylander, I noticed you reccomend using DOT 4, of course , after I put in DOT 3. Is there anything I should be concerned about?

E300D intermittent hesitation/power loss
'98 300 E TD. Engine hesitation occurs intermittently. Can be very frustrating, leading to total loss of power. Happens at any speed and any RPM, but only happens under load. Burns perfectly clean & smooth, but hesitation is a big problem. Comes & goes w/o reason - might hesitate badly for 5 miles or for 1,000. Might happen every drive & repeatedly for 2 or 3 weeks, and then might run perfectly for next 2,000 miles. WTF?! Have checked for codes, good fuel flow, mass air, etc. Is confounding to all mechanics I've brought it to.

560 Engine in 420SEL?
Hey Kent, Are the 420 block and the 560 block about the same size? I found a valve cover thats off a 560 that will fit my 420. Are the block and heads the same, just the stroke is different.I am going to pick and pull tomorrow for the valve cover and safety belts. Should I just grab the engine and use some parts for my 420 or even put the 560 inplace of the 420?

differential removal
Kent,
Can you give a short summation on how to remove the differential on my 82 sd? I recently purchased one that howls very loud, and the previous owner supplied one with the car. I do have a car lift, tranny jack, tall jack stands. Just looking at it, I would unbolt it from the body, lower it, drain out lube, take rear cover off, remove axle clips (Pin), remove rear wheels, loosen axle nuts on hub, and go from there. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Bill
