    Possible salvage award, 2010 ML 350

    I was taking a look around Craigslist and spotted this 2007 ML 350 with 296,000 miles. Based on this one it looks like they hold up pretty good!

    Possible salvage award, 2010 ML 350

    GON, rocker covers There is a set of "rocker covers" for sale on Craigslist down in Florida for $100. They're from a 2015 so I don't know they'll fit your 2010.

    HVAC vacuum pump for Mini Split?

    Nitrogen is almost completely inert is not an explosion hazard. It will not burn or even support combustion except for with magnesium and some other very rare metals. The tanks that it usually comes in are rated for about 3000 PSI but can handle a LOT higher presure than that and also have...

    HVAC vacuum pump for Mini Split?

    You can buy or rent tanks from just about any welding supply company and they can sell you the gas and a regulator. AFIK the tank, regulator and the thread connection is the same as those used for other low pressure inert gasses (Not CO2) that are used for welding like Argon and Helium...

    The "Unabomber", Ted Kaczynski, dead at 81.

    I saw this on the news this morning. It's no loss IMO. I don't think anyone will miss him.

    Car tire inflators

    My vote too but you can fill it at many service stations (free at Wawa in my area) so you don't have to have a home compressor. But for a car, you might just want to get a can of Fix-a-Flat and keep one in the trunk. That's probably the quickest and easiest way to get something. But if she...

    HVAC vacuum pump for Mini Split?

    They didn't add a full charge of Freon the first time. I think that and the final vacuuming was just to flush most of the Nitrogen out of the system.

    HVAC vacuum pump for Mini Split?

    FWIW I had my Mitsubishi mini-split installed a few years ago by a couple of very good professional AC installers that worked for a Mitsubishi approved dealer. I watched and talked to them throughout he entire process and they were VERY emphatic that the mini-splits needed to be very well purged...

    The pool had to go. Wife in mourning.....

    An above ground pool? I had one years ago and we only used it about two years and then it sat unused for a couple of years so I tore it and we never missed it. I am so HAPPY that we opted for an above ground pool and not an in ground one, it was much easier to get rid of. My daughter came close...

    The pool had to go. Wife in mourning.....

    X2! A BIG liability now in Florida. And legally required (and enforced!) that they be fenced in or enclosed. Home buyers will no longer pay a premium to buy a house with a pool here and many buyers flat out refuse to buy any house with a pool.

    Canadian Smoke

    Central Florida. I went outside this morning and the haze is thick here and and it reeks of wood smoke. We had seen some smoke from the Canadian fires but I couldn't believe that it was this bad even after the winds changed and started blowing that smoke out into the Atlantic. I checked online...

    The shape of kitchen sponges

    Does anyone, besides me, remember when every fall Tide ran a bunch of TV ads for the "New and Improved Tide"? Seriously, it was an annual event. Right along with the price increase!

    Remove rivet nut ?

    You might be able to use two flat nose punches, one on each side of it, and hammer them together and re-rivet it. If the screw that goes into it isn't tightened too much you might also be able to use some epoxy to glue to nut to the chassis. But don't get any epoxy in the threads!

    China's producer prices plunge the most in seven years as deflation hangs over economy

    It's sounds like the economic "good times" are over in China. I wonder if maybe this is why they're suddenly getting so frisky militarily? Perhaps they're trying to keep the good times rolling by forcibly trying to acquire more territories, and more captive markets in newly developing countries...

    Towing with a U-haul

    We tried to ship a car to California a few years ago (four, I think) and checked with all of the shippers that we could find. It turned out that NONE of them are actually shippers, they're just brokers that want to charge a huge price for shipping but put the shipment out for bid to those...

    98 Expedition Shift Solenoid Issues After AC Service

    Yes, it sounds like there might be a vacuum leak but the generic code P0750 says that you have a bad solenoid "A". That is the generic meaning, I'm sure that a Ford manual will be more specific. I don't know about 2008 but my 2009 F150 5.4 does use a couple of electronically controlled solenoids...

    Canadian Smoke

    It's gotten much worse in DC in the past couple of hours. My daughter and her child are headed here for an unscheduled visit in an effort to escape. She just returned from a trip to Dallas last night and said that the air was so bad in DC that she didn't take her mask off after she got off of...

    Lets talk antivirus

    This exactly. IMO NAV has been THE worst virus out ever there since Symantec bought out Peter Norton. I have never seen a virus choke a computer as bad as NAV does. I remove it from EVERY computer that I own or that I have worked on. I use Trend Micro House's free online virus scanner and...

    Canadian Smoke

    They're even reporting abut it on the local news here (Fla) and are warning people about the health risks and are warning people with breathing trouble not to go outside and warning others not to do strenuous activities outside.
