Were the Cruise Amps Different?
I was just snooping through fastlane, and I saw that under a 1982 300DT-wagon AND under 300D they sell a remanufactured Cruise Amp (14 pin) for $246, but under the 1982 300SD (what I have) they sell "Cruise Amp" for $456, but it doesn't say remanufactured. Are these interchangeable? I'd imagine they would be.....so why the price/parts difference? Would I be able to use the $256 remanufactured one in my car? I can't see why they'd be different....

At first glance I would guess that there could be a difference. The 123 car has a mechanical speedo with a speed signal generator on the back. The 126 car has an electronic speedo with an electronically prepared signal. I would guess the signals could be different.

GDL rebuilds
The chances are that a rebuild by GDL would be as good as or better than a new unit. They rebuilt mine (on the 85 300TD) and it is working fine after two years and around 20K miles.

On the W123 chassis (240D, 300D, 300CD), I know the early versions up to 1981 were different than 1982 and later. The early cruises used a vacuum actuator, and the later an electric actuator, thus different amplifier modules.
I have had GDL repair two amplifiers with great success, at $200 each. Great place to deal with and I highly recommend them. The rebuilds even carry, I think, a 2 year warranty now. |

Thanks for the tip about GDL, I think I may send mine in if the used one I am buying doesn't work, when I activate cruise it simply....drops the pedal to the floor and attempts to set a speed record.
