I agree that personal humor, whether directed at self or another, is in general not a wise or good thing to do. Particularly so on a forum such as this where people are learning and doing thing's mechanical or trouble-shooting these very complex German automobiles they have never dealt with before; the latter, especially, as the author or replyer to a question find's him or herself in an often temporary state of frustration.

Given that, when I replace my wobble bearing, does the muffler belt need to be changed at the same time? I had a dream that my 220d suffered harmonic imbalances if the wobble bearing wiring harness was too tight and/or the savoy clips were improperly cast. My 1950's 60's MOPAR knowledge is island-stranded regarding these types of problems. I'm toying with the idea of replacing my L-4 diesel in this car with a 528 cubic inch Chrysler crate-Hemi. Should I stick with the MB 4-speed, or am I better off mating a semi-tractor Allison automatic with the Hemi? Last question: How much concrete do I need to put in the trunk to keep the rear wheels on the ground?
