Scotty, I bought one of these new 2006. That one you have is a base model, I had the up-model. It's an SLK320 with a Crossfire body. I also had a 2006 SLK320. It's all the same engine and trans. Also has MBZ logos. The Crossfire had 2 different wheel sizes front back. Better suspension, better dash but very similar. It was a much better looking car and had custom luggage that was made for it with Crossfire wheels and the top of the luggage looked like the hood of the car. Best luggage ever! I still use it and still have a brand new set. Chrysler offered a few options I had all. Lighted door sills, cargo cover, Borla exhaust (very cool) and turn signal outside mirrors. I still have some new parts and the window sticker. Sadly in 2008 my neighbor smashed into it backing out of his driveway got the door, fender and hood and headlight. It was totaled. Best thing that ever came out of the Daimler/Chrysler deal. Thanks for the video!

The least rusty and even the least aged cars I've ever seen are those that lived their whole lives on the northern Pacific coast. It rains there so much, even cars parked outside get a lot of pure, fresh-water washing. Plus, the lack of direct sunlight prevents the aging of paint, headlights, etc. But you do have to watch our for mold and fungus.

Mr. Kilmer I have inherited a 97 Toyota T100 SR5 from a dear friend who passed away from 4 stage cancer. The truck is a one time owner who kept it up. However, it sat for some time 8 months to a year. The truck has 230k plus miles automatic 1/2 ton. The only issue so far is it will shift into overdrive after it sits from start up for 1/2 hour then driven for about 45min. to an hour. When it shifts its smooth no jerking or slipping etc.. Now if I drive it in the summer weather it will shift sooner as long as i drive it at least once a day and have it shift it will start to shift in half the time or a little less. I thought it may need to be driven for awhile everyday to loosen up anything that may have the gears gummed up and driving it will help break it all out and loosen the gears up. So before I did that I went ahead and replaced the gasket, solenoids and fluid. I also did a transmission coolant flush. The fluid looked great when I changed the fluid not dirty just real clear. I didn't expect that. After all that it won't change. Now I use the OBD on it there are no codes pending or existing. the trans. temp is at 182. So i start checking all the plugs and wiring to the sensors and to the ECM. I did not find any issues with the wiring. So I went ahead and replaced the O2 sensors upper and lower. The Mass air flow sensor. The transmission temp sensor. The drive shaft Position sensor. The thermostat. All new custom exhaust. I do all my own work with all new Toyota parts. I do all my welds etc.. I have all new brakes, rotors, calipers, shocks, plugs and coils. I installed a complete new ac system and piping. i installed a new radiator, alternator water pump with all new gaskets. I cleaned the throttle body I flushed the motor out twice once with a kerosene followed with diesel with an oil engine cleaner and 5 quarts of 5w30 ran it for a week drained it all out put new filter and fluids back in. I put a new air filter system in it. All seals are good no leaks of any kind. No engine check lights, it would run like a champ if it only shifted. No codes on the OBDII, but still won't shift into overdrive until it's been running for 45 min everyday and in the summer. When it's colder out it can take longer, which says to me it's a temperature or electrical issue but I haven't found it. I reset the modules and ECM. Maybe I have a bad ECM. I have asked and taken it to a few people locally and they say it needs a new transmission but I'm not sure. I tried googling it I found some people have had similar problems but were able to get them fixed I replaced what was causing there issues. I did come across one person who had the same issue. he went through the exact thing i did replacing everything possible. Then on an unrelated issue he had to deal with something up under the steering wheel. So he said he was moving wires around to get to the problem took care of it. When he went to work the truck after 2 years shifted right away and said it's been shifting since over a year ago. the only difference between his and mine is mine shifted after awhile his didn't at all. If you read this and have any idea, I would so much be indebted to you. No matter what, thank you for the years of knowledge and entertainment you have shared with us God bless you and your family Jeff Cooper

On my echo which was made in Japan, the coolant must reach exactly 137°F before lockup is allowed. Many others report the same in other Toyotas. I believe it's to minimize lugging a cold engine. Did you use OEM Toyota or denso sensors? Is there a coolant temp gauge?

It sounds like a bad thermostat. Some people try to run a 180 stat and it won't get warm enough. You need a 195. Years ago I helped someone get a Corolla with 250k on it for cheap. It had 3 trans issues. A leak on the cooler line. A delayed overdrive engagement. And an intermittent speedometer error and not shifting out of second when the speedometer acted up. I fixed the leak, Soldered up the connections on the back of the speedometer and still had the overdrive issue along with a low coolant temp guage reading. I replaced the thermostat and a bad hose while it was apart. In the first 4 minutes of operation it always went into overdrive.

Loved my ‘03 Crossfire Roadster. Put 100K, mostly hiway miles, with the top down in Houston. Two major headaches: 1). No spare tire! They give you what amounted to a can of Inflate-a-flat. 2). The rear wheels were 19”. Tires lasted about 20 thousand miles @ about $800 each! At 100K miles, the car was mechanically superior. Eventually, the “peripheral” stuff started literally falling off the car. Stuff like rear trim…interior trim too.

We have this issue in the UK. Some Mercedes dealers don't even recognise that the car is basically an SLK320 with a different body style. Most regular mechanics don't mind working on them, and many of the problems are solveable as long as you can source replacement parts at a reasonable price.

Look up "Toyota electric water pump." This is a trouble part. There's a beeper that needs a switch or volume control. We're talking about 2018+ Camrys. 2019+ ravs. On many new Toyotas including the Corolla, the heater bypass valve sticks
