Re: Advancing Alvar

I wonder how long it will be before campgrounds will have to also restrict excessive engine idling, for the same reasons that they ban excessive generator use?
You should have no problem with most...

Re: Advancing Alvar

Re: Advancing Alvar

Re: Advancing Alvar

As usual, government "good will" decrees to fix one thing, have unintended negative consequences for other things. It's part of the cause and effect cycle of big government. Keeps the bureaucrats...

Re: Advancing Alvar

The chassis is warranted by MB, and they have recommended limits for things that might fail if exceeded. They set the rules based on their engineering experience and field testing, I would think.

Re: Advancing Alvar

I would think accidentally or otherwise, if the EGR is clogged, the first thing MB would do is check the service records, and the OBD computer for data that might indicate the cause. Big brother...

Davydd,
You can't take it with you. Might as well enjoy it while you can. :thumbup:

Re: Advancing Alvar

Good luck with it, then. You've obviously thought this one out, and have a plan and a lot of confidence. That has to count in your favor. 120,000 miles of experience should help in the planning and...
