Thanks for information about the "pedal cure"
I will get one this week!!! I too hope
my 84 SD will get 348,000 miles. Seriously,
this car is the best I have ever owned. The
only repair I have done this vehicle is to
replace the vaccum pump at 190,000. It has
the same air conditioning compressor, no
problems with the brakes (same master cylinder), no climate control problems, no
cruise control problems...Besides the vaccum
pump and the current accelerator pedal breaking, there have been no other needed
repairs. It has to happen soon...I really
have been waiting for several years now for
everything to "give up"...Maybe not. Those
who own the 300SDL and 350SD/SDL, if you not
owned a 85 or earlier diesel, you do not
know what a drastic difference there is in
the dependability of the earlier diesels
compared to the 86+ models...Again, thanks
for everyones response!!!
