I have had lots of positive results w/ ITUs. Except once I drove my 76 300d good and hard all the way from san diego to orange county and when I tried to start it later I discovered that I had buned up one of my glowplugs. Those old loop style plugs are a pain in the a$$.

I dont think that would burn up a glow plug, bit I havent owned my 300d long enough to know that yet...

I have had exelent luck with ITUs... one more acrynym (got that one all boogered up) to add to the list...

WVO
SVO
UMO
RUG
ITU

I also find that its fun to just hammer it when someone gets behind me... Not too much smoke (did a diesel purge recently) but still enough to be intereasting

What I like to do is go on old HW 12, and continue down twords fairchild... Big enough hills to run WOT up without gaining much. Turns sharp enough to scare you if you dont know your cars suspention (FORTIONATLY I do... very good shape)... And to top it off, fairchild has about 3 cops, who ALL take sunday off (I love small towns)

The plugs in that car were ancient and worn really thin.

There is a nice on ramp I like to to ITU's on. I enjoy the look on peoples faces when you have to brake hard to merge on the highway. But on nice days when their is room you can shoot right into the left lane and goose it to 100 or so. I run her to the stops in all the gears...

The SD seems to like them as well but I can't get her much over 4k rpm unless I hold the gear with the shifter.

Yeah I don't do that often, I usually like to camp behind a runner.

Two weeks ago right before I put my SDL away for the winter I took her out for one last ride to warm up the oil before I changed it and to test my driveshaft/trans leak repair. So I am driving it around town and it is so smooth and running so well I think well maybe I will take her up on the highway for a nice run. (pop a Metallica CD in ) I get to the bottom of the on ramp which is a slight up hill but straight and long. All my windows are down and the Sand Man is cranking. I thought hmm she hasn't been out in two weeks lets clear the pipes, foot down. I poped the shifter in 3rd and ran her to the stops all the way to 3rd then slid it in 4th and kept my foot planted. With the new Mobil 1 ATF the shifts were like butter and she popped into 4th and kept going. Even with the windows down I didn't realize the speed I was going but I scared the crap out of a Camry as I passed him at 110 and climbing. Then I decided to slow down and hit the brakes and brought her down to a crawl (70) just in time for me to pass a state cop doing radar! Good thing I would have been pushing 120+ if I didn't.

The moral of the story is I have no self restraint and need to drive diesel car. If I had a 500E I would have gotten nailed for well over 150 probably.

In the used construction equipment business an "italian tune up" is a PAINT JOB! I kid you not.

you get an italian tune up every day on the way to the office!
