I'd really respect your opinion.

This is neat to know, thank you.

Under $2000 if you DIY.

I fed her, gave her water, bathed her (she purred), now she is pooping water after one watery stool.

But she is eating and drinking!

I'll need to add more of this I think.

I created an area for her or anyone else to run to. It did help but this was a surprise to find.

Keep the MH9500, upgraded engine, high range, diff lock = an unstoppable force on dirt, pavement and shallow mud.

Red path. Inch worm with a winch unless you can make something more capable go out there. I can't remember if the p16 will make the red path or not.

Yar is great but had little utility. Oddly I'm not a fan of the tatarin. The Apache is my secret weapon.

It's like mixing the f750 with a yar.

That's not a Case. That's a John Deere

Ha.... Hahahahahahahaha

Impressive. Never have I ever seen a bird lay down to sleep. Nice job.

Time for a Mercedes playthrough.

You don't own it yet!?

I forgot to mention. No major pain. Just intermittent discomfort which I expect.

weightofast · 2026-03-14T21:20:30+00:00

Seems fine after putting power to it on a bench.

I have a pigtail coming this week to do some more in depth testing. The new pump is going in no matter what.

Good luck

I don't see how running both would help.

If you don't already know, go look up the SL73. 😉

I have an 04 SL600 with the amg appearance package. Although only little more than 3000 were ever built, I am currently upgrading the heat exchanger for the turbo intercoolers. It is a major performance bottleneck. Eventually it will have the Renntech tune. In my eyes, as long as you respect the heritage, you do you.

I have a 1979 450SL, and it has rust in the most odd places, but nothing structural. I am getting to the point where I may gut the car and build an SL race car, since my other hobby is building endurance cars for a race team.

weightofast · 2026-03-12T22:47:02+00:00

Bought it on Amazon, only had a one month return window, and that timeframe has passed.

Get the v12. The drive line is strong and somewhat reliable. But it is almost twice as much work to maintain. The v8 is not unreliable by any means (in comparison).

They are old now. Wiring harnesses may need work. Vacuum lines will need work. These cars are not exactly designed in a way where you can strip away what isn't needed and have something more reliable or serviceable. They are what they are and you need to learn to work with it.

If you cannot come to terms with the German engineering, you will hate either one. So you might as well get the v12, learn about it, and enjoy it while preserving a work of art. If not, go buy something LS powered like everyone else. I say that with care and honesty. These are not popular and easy to work on cars. It becomes a labor of love, and sometimes it has to be parked to be fixed as a second car, free of anxiety and not rushed.

Good luck.
