When I looked I realized that the rear axle had slipped out and was almost leaning on the floor. The rest of the axles was allright. Profiting of the abscense of the wheels I made a photo shooting at the details of the suspension and drive train to made a sort of plan or schedule for the servicing a...

In these days of July last year, I had already begun to move to find the proper wheels for the Merkabah. I searched in the strange worlds and underworlds of the used wheels because no dealer had real off-road in the 22,5 inches measure. This was a priority because I knew that I would have to give ba...

I forgot.

The whole system, installed for instance on the Merkabah, would cost Euro 1.700.

Joe: Always nice to hear from you. The brake system itself will not be touched at all; the air filling circuit is secuentially charged, and the primary brake circuit is the one that gets charged first. Once this is accomplished the rest of the tanks begin to get filled at a higher pressure. At prese...

The diesel tank was terribly knocked but it should be replaced anyway for the planned autonomy should be at least of 1200 km. Every periferic component had suffered from the lack of love and hurt by rocks and every object of the road, forests or the mountains it had been working on the past 22 years...

Many thanks for the words of hope and best wishes. This is intended to share experiences in the understanding that many of us have a common and particular interest, and the pursuit of this vision may be very different depending on the place you live. You forgot to mention, apart from time, money and...

Hi Pairoa, good luck with the rebuilt! Seems really to be a lot of work. Hope you have a lot of time and money and / or good friends who will assist you. Cheers Hi Joe: Fortunately I have enough (I hope) of all of them, but I always privilege good friends. The end date for the project is December 2...

The driver, curiously after his past verborrhea, just said: “Let’s go”, as if he was thinking: “Let’s go…before this damn thing explodes.” I took the copilot seat (Alejandro died for the place, but he never said it so) and with a gigantic smile and a felling like: ”I am the king of the world!” we st...

The next week I prepared the logistics for the trip to get the truck and to take it to San Felipe. I borrowed from a friend the wheels to put on; they were previously and obviously used but he assured me that they would stand the trip without tearing apart. I only had to trust. I got a truck driver ...

Anyway… The truck was in Talca, a medium-sized city 230 km south from San Felipe. I made an appointment with the owner and the the first weekend of june 2010 I, my wife, Eduardo and his wife made a trip to see the truck. At first sight, impressive as it was for a non previously truck owner, it seeme...

Half the text disappeared, do not know why. I will upload the whole of it and from now on I will put the pictures at the end of the post for minimizing the risks of loses. I ask for your forgiveness and patience, translating is a very hard task and from the beggining I have had trouble with the site...

First of all, I introduce myself properly so people can know who and where am I. I am 44 years old, I live and work at San Felipe, a small 55.000 people town 54 kilometres north from Santiago, the capital of Chile. I am not mechanician but I love to get my hands dirty with oil and grease if needed (...

Hi: After many rounds I finally got the right EPC version. Had to get permision from a friend in Italy to use his adress and register the credit card in paypal-usa for the transaction. My 2626 is on line now. I feel a little dumb and like if someone had been playing tricks on me. Thanks everyone for...

Pirx!

What version of EPC is that! Nothing to do with mine or Kaufmann's as long as I know.
How can I get access to that data? No matter if written in german.

Surely there is nothing extraordinary to see for europeans, but in South America 6x6 trucks are incredibly rare. Needs lots of work (you can see the smoke!), and at present the engine is hanging from the c...

Pirx: Unfortunately I am not kidding at all. No 2626 AK 6x6 in the EPC, mine or theirs (Kaufmann). They have measures for everything for the OM 402 motor overhauling but no workshop manuals. I have got some information on torque measures for the 400 series engines and about lubricants service for th...

Thanks again, Manfred: Buchundbild has not the manuals. I have got the EPC for Mercedes, the same that Kaufmann uses, and I have the part numbers of every Unimog, sedan, sport car, jeep and tractor, but not for the 2626, as them. Anyway, I will proceed with the project and hope not to find many diff...

Manfred: Thanks a lot but I have already tried with the site you posted and id did not worked out. The chief of the Pieces and Parts department of Kaufmann in Santiago supported himself with information got from the argentinian armed forces because he has no manuals for these trucks himself, and thi...

Hello everyone: I have done a german sprachkurz many, many years ago, and so sorry aber Ich habe alles fergessen. I have got a 1988 Mercedes 2626 AK 6x6 for my all terrain motorhome. Unfortunately there are no manuals for this truck in Chile and no available manuals on-line in the internet, neither ...
