for some reason I picked up another 240

Happy Tuesday all!

Am driving a 1991 240 sedan, just about to break 200K miles; my wife used to have a '94 240 wagon, which we sold to my brother-in-law at about 240K miles (and he still has it, along with an '82 240 wagon approaching the 200K mark).

I'm catching the car up on maintenance; replaced the rotted transmission crossmember last weekend, narrowly avoiding gravity winning the battle against the tranny - as I work my way through the maintenance list I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions.

Should anyone have any sources (read: junkyards) for parts in Southwest Michigan, I'm all ears; we drove to the East side of the state last weekend to source the parts we needed.

This weekend I'll replace the overdrive solenoid (dead) with IPD's solenoid bypass; next up will be the timing belt, I think, and a complete exhaust overhaul.

Looking forward to talking with you!
