keep in mind the man just lost his father, and is struggling with that as well as other issues with sides...

Maybe if a few of us did this we would regain a very decent member.

In light of the recent changes, he may be happy to return.

I havent been there that recently apart from collecting messages, thanks for them!!
It is surprising a Peach Parts thread hasnt started there, maybe called "all things Peachy" . It could be quite amusing ~ good for a laugh.

Ask him to do the sanden compressor bracket/hoses kit.

I suspect you may read this thread Larry. Come on back I know you are missed by myself and other members. Who can forget the expression change your oil hot and change it often.

It would be great if he would reconsider his decision to leave. He helped a lot of people on the AC troubles. Maybe someone that knows him could tell him people are looking for his return. I am to new to the forum to voice an opinion on such things, but I thought this might be one time to say something. I really did not like it when Arthur Dalton left. Thanks

I have been "gone" for a few years..............
Larry Bible was ALWAYS a well respected member of this Mercedes Benz "diesel" community.....
I, too, look forward to his return.
Compression, FIRE!
See 'ya,

Where does Larry live? Which state?

I think this a good example of not engaging brain before submiiting a reply. Sorry for the mistake. For some reason I thought he wasn't still here. Thank You.

You can use a person's name to check their last activity... it is not hidden or secret information..

I do not go to the OD forum myself .. figured that out years ago....

Long before Larry's father died Larry was ' wound pretty tight' or ' wound differently' or something like that... He once accused me of ' following him around the internet' ... and upsetting him by posting on the same subjects... I knew then he was a bit off since this is the only forum I have ever seen him on. It happened that we are a similar age and had experience in overlapping areas... and if you look at the postings from that time there were way more supporting posts for his positions than any critiques... He was one of half a dozen with the knowledge and spirit to fight the good battle on R12/standard refrigerants against those who came on to promote junk.. Duracool,Freeze12,etc...
Strelnik, he lives at the top edge of Texas.. very close to the Red River or possibly on it...
