Actros / SK 1990s

[sprocket3]

Bitte entschuldige mein Schreiben. Ich benutze den Übersetzer .

Ich versuche einen 4x4-Lkw aus den 1990er Jahren zu finden und interessiere mich für den SK und den Actros.

Haben die Actros-Lastwagen wie Mercedes-Autos Probleme mit der Verkabelung?

Gibt es bei Actros-Lkw unterschiedliche Übersetzungsverhältnisse in den Naben oder Achsen? Ich brauche einen LKW, der mit 100 km/h auf der Autobahn fahren kann.



ENGLISH:
Please pardon my writing, i'm using google translator since we have very little information in English on these awesome trucks.

I'm trying to find a 4x4 truck from the 1990s and i'm interested in the SK and Actros.


Do the Actros trucks have any issue with wiring decay like Mercedes cars?

Do Actros trucks come with different gear ratios in hubs or axles? I need a truck that can drive highway at 100kph.

Hello und welcome here.
SK and Actros have normally no problems with the elektric wiring.
Mein SK from 1994 works without any problems.
In the truck You willfind many different ratios, so Youhsve to look careful for that. Maybe the firefighter trucks from switzerland has the long ones.

hello and thank you!

With Actros manual what things should I watch for on a used truck 1998-2000?

What should i estimate changing gearing to cost if I buy a truck with low speed gearing?


Hallo und dankeschön!

Worauf sollte ich anhand des Actros-Handbuchs bei einem gebrauchten Lkw von 1998 bis 2000 achten?

Wie hoch sollte ich die Kosten für den Wechsel des Getriebes schätzen, wenn ich einen Lkw mit Langsamgetriebe kaufe?

Hi, I recognice to look for an Actros MP1 or MP2 ( these trucks hast beendet build later with som Modifikation to better better) with auf manual gear with morgen than 10 gear and all axle ratio bigger than 1:5, for example 1:4,3

[sprocket3]

Thank you. I can only import 1998/1999 model now so i think that MP1 is good.

How can i get axle ration from VIN? is there a site to show build details?

[wrathchild053]

Thank you. I can only import 1998/1999 model now so i think that MP1 is good.

What's the problem with importing models from earlier 1998? No insurance??

There is a possibility, to find out with the VIN the technical Details of the truck.
Write the VIN here in this thread and the specialists ( not me) can find out, what happens with the truck.

[sprocket3]

VIN code : WDB9520731K329382

I tried https://www.mbdecoder.com/decode/WDB9520731K329382

The data is not very clear on this truck. Engine OM999 ? Can anyone verify build details for me. The seller is not giving many details. Thank you.

[wrathchild053]

This link below is much more precise regarding to your VIN

Hi,

All platforms are severely flawed.
For example, a heavy truck has 15-inch tires and an engine with 88 hp.
Only the Mercedes EPC, parts information and VEDOC systems provide the correct data.

Thank you very much for help. So with this axle ratio would truck be good for 100kph cruising speed using slightly larger tires?

AP6 axle ratio i = 4.143 (HL7)

[sprocket3]

Does anyone see any problems with the specifications of this truck in the use of an Expedition Truck with a 4.5 meter habitat? In North America we need to be able to drive freeway at 105kph at times. I think these trucks are only 85kph in Europe.

[lura]

I see a big problem: You will always smile driving the truck. With the wheels it runs 106 km/h at 180ü U/min.
With bigger wheels you can go 105 kn/h with lower beam.
With the MK1 Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzer elektronisch, 104 km/h You can not go the full speed. When mounting bigger wheels You have to compensate the tachometer or You can go faster.
4.5 m Habitat is no problem in my opinion.
Here can You read something about the projekt Actros MP1 by Roland

Thanks guys.

Do you know if these all came with differential lockers, cruise control, and Air Conditioning?

I don't see either listed on the build details.

Great truck. What wheelbase and habitat size?

[lura]

Thanks guys.

I don't see either listed on the build details.

Cruise Control is on board
MD9 Tempomat
Locker in minimum at rear axle and verteilergetriebe, front axle isn't known.

This 1998 truck has no air conditioning in cab. Are there simple ways to add AC using factory parts? I know they have aftermarket kits.

I assumed all the Actros would have it. We have very hot months.

[lura]

I think a air condition with only electric power ist the simpel possibilty
Something like this.

Hello,

I'm wanting to get an Actros truck inspected prior to purchase in Lithuania. Does anyone know a good mechanic near Vilnius that can look at a truck?

[SLUG]

Moin!

Well the seller refused to allow a mechanical inspection on that truck. Said that;

"Our company changes lubricants before selling, air, fuel, diesel filters, carries out a technical inspection.

Please let me know if you want to buy or not".


I can't really trust the inspection performed by the seller.

[lura]

Do the service Yourself, so You know, what You have done. What is the mileage of the truck?
A risk do You have always in live.
The amount You pay for the truck is small the lifetimecost with build a habitat amd travel around will be much higher.

It's a nice truck, but he wants a lot of money and it seems very strange that a seller would not agree to an inspection that I'm paying for.

I know very well the situation you are in .
I am permanently based in Uzbekistan and found “my” SK1824 from 1995 with low mileage on a selling platform at home in Germany .
The seller was very cooperative and provided me without hesitation with all information I asked for incl entire documentation for the truck .
I even asked him to make test drive and to video record speed vs rpm .
I bought this truck without seeing it and everything went well .
If you don’t have a good feeling keep your hands off and better look for another truck .

[lura]

I think also, if You don't have a good feeling, don't do it.

Yes.. I really like the truck, but seller is not interested in working with me at all. It was hard to get even the length of current box and basic details from him. When I told him I wanted inspection he did a refused to even work with me any longer. I think he just wants someone to come hand him the money and not ask a single question. Very strange.
