1983 300SD.... I was driving and noticed that when I reached the end of my 150 mile one way trip my odometer read 83 miles. I kept track with the mile markers on the way back and found out that the mileage counter is also not accurate. After traveling a mile it only measures around 6/10 or 7/10 of a mile. Anyone ever hear of this happening? Speedometer works fine.
