1981 300SD Speedometer Question
My son's 1981 300SD speedometer markings indicate a maximum of 85 mph. Some other 300SD vehicles show a top speed of 120 mph.
Does anyone know why? Thanks in advance! Larry 1981 300SD 1979 300SD 1982 Chevy P/U 6.2L diesel |
if i remember correctly 81-82 merc diesels had 85mph top speeds, and 83-85 had 120mph. Most people buy the 120mph and upgrade.
