But, I just very happily picked up my new G-Wagen. it's a 1990, W461 250GD SWB. I'll update my profile later on  Anyway, a few observations...already. I'm in Montreal and just picked it up and drove from Laval to Montreal. If any of you that aren't from here, you should know, we have some of the shitties streets and highways, probably in the world. I've been to 3rd world countries with better highways. But, I digress. Anyhoo, I was in the slow lane, and going about a 100km/h and it's pouring rain out, I noticed the truck was going right and left from the truck ruts. Is that normal? Tires, suspension? Anyway, while driving on the highway, and going at about a 100km/h, I would guess she's revving at about 3500 to 4000rpm (no tach). Is that what I should be revving at? Initially, I was thinking of getting much taller tires, in the range of 33's. But, after realizing how high up she's sitting as it is, on stock tires, perhaps 31's would be more than adequate. I'm quite impressed with the wiper setting. I was expecting just 1 or 2 settings. I noticed that there's a leak, under the dash, passenger side. Any ideas where to start and looking for it? Anyhoo, I don't want to push my luck with too many questions. But, it's also fun when there's a lot of posts and peeps are sharing. Cheers Chris | |
