Supposed to say hello, so i'll say hello.
Long time Mercedes and GM diesel owner/wrench. 6.2 and OM617 experience.
Still got several of each. After all, i ain't got the $$$$ to get any of these sweet rigs of today.
Everything else i do and say probably stands as irrelevant in the diesel world.
Aerospace Engineer. Okay, if you wanna talk physics, loads, systems, fatigue, turbines, and yes, dealing in Federal Court with the government, then okay.
Pilot. I'd kinda like to do some pioneering work in compressive ignition aircraft engines. I gotta 4 cyl Mercedes out of a Ssangyong Actyon that might work. Trouble is, i don't have the ignition key, column lock, and OBD port to activate the ECU, so it ain't gonna run.
Oh, and I got a Detroit Diesel 6-71 in my motor home. Thinking about updating that old iron. Yes, it sounds cool, but i'm up at the front so i don't get to enjoy any sound except the filling of the 150gal tank. If i could find the right engine to go in there, I'd make that a project.
Anyway, been looking at the pages. Looks interesting.
