I have the electric fuel boost heater installed and ready to go, but where is a 20 amp fuse in the fuse box to tap into? Every fuse I see is less than 20 amp. The highest I see is 16 amp and the EFBH calls for a 20 amp.
Thanks,

I have been using my 1980 300sd to pull a small enclosed trailer (w/ nosecone, 1000 - 1500 lbs). I have had no problems with the transmission whatsoever doing this for the past 80 thousand (163,000-241,000) miles running on veg, but this vehicle was just totaled by an suv so I am looking for a replacement.
I would like to have a wagon for the extra space but I'm worried about putting too much strain on the transmission. I'm also wondering if the SLS will be a good or bad thing. I was hoping it would be good as the 300sd tended to sag a little with 100lbs on the hitch.
How do you remove the battery tray? I removed the two bolts, but it still seems to be attached to the inner fender.
I am having a meltdown here all the usual suspects are rounded up. My 1986 300SDL (that I have spent more time working on than driving no kidding) is a great car has me perplexed. It started and ran fine one day the next started and idled fine but gives me about 100RPM increase when I push the throttle with foot or under the hood so all the linkage is moving the way it should.
When reading across the two contacts on the 02 sensor with an ohm meter, should the reading show open or close contacts.(trying to determine if te sensor is shorted or not) please help. Thanks
diy ball joint replacement - 1985 300td Sedan
Currently squeeks like an old couch! Just embracing the diy arena after the local mechanic quoted 3.1 hours labor for each joint (it it true???) Have ordered replacement ball joints. Any helpful hints or how to is appreciated - have searched the site. Your input is valuable - is this doable for the novice, novice, first timer?
I have purchased new weather-stripping from my Mercedes dealer for my 1974 240D 115. I removed the old weather-stripping on the front passenger door and tried to install. After carefully pushing the new weather-stripping in the door channels. The weather-stripping didn’t quite fit. About 3” to long. Is there any way to “shrink” the weather-stripping before the install? Or should I just return and order another. Any tips would be helpful.
Thanks,
Eric
Is it possible and/or practical to swap my passenger seat with my drivers seat? I have a very good passenger seat and a poor drivers seat.
103 engine. Rough idle at cold start up. Smooths out after 30-45 seconds.
When starting warm, starts right away and stalls immediately – re starts right away OK and stays running. Recently hesitates when cold. Been unusually cold her in FL lately. Any thoughts??
Any tips or "how to" on how to reattach the front rubber bumper?
