What happened?

I have a pinhole leak on the passenger side transmission cooler line, so I'm wondering what you ended up doing. I don't see the transmission cooler lines for sale anywhere. Are they strictly pick...

Yes!

I would definitely do it, because 70-80 is THE zone, you know? It will quiet things, and provide a little protection for your hood paint. Just get the 3M high heat spray glue, I've seen posts about...

Hotrod 300D!

Well, it's all relative of course, but since I replaced my broken accelerator link mount (see picture), I come off the line like a dragon! Thanks to Randy L, who showed me the problem.
Very simple...

Well, you know...

not as much of a difference as I would have thought, after three days now of driving. The old ones were definitely squished, but they weren't quite the "jelly" that I had earnestly posted...

By wearing my "dedicated" diesel work clothes, I can just stand them in the corner so when the alarm rings on saturday morning, I can jump outta bed, bounce into my funky togs and be swinging a...

Smile The dreaded oil cooler line club!

I did it! 1983 300D Turbo with A/C. The lower line was seeping, so I got both lines and two motor mounts. It took me most of saturday and half of sunday, but Garner is up and running. Indeed,...

I have no experience with your type chassis, but I had a vibration in the driveshaft that was remedied by replacing my diff mount (I also have that driveshaft center bearing support on hand, for when...

Phoenix Rises...

Hey Justin, how ya doing? I don't have much experience with them, but when I bought Garner, I had them do one of those pre-buy once overs, and it was right on, in retrospect. Just talk up the guy...

Thanks!

Yeah, I finally got my head around the design of the new(er) actuator! It was just that every DIY article concerning this made it seem that you had to disconnect the safety clip at the top of the...

1983 300D front passenger door lock actuator

how does the vertical shift rod disconnect from the front passenger door vacuum element? I've tried unscrewing it but it seems to spin within the element's clear plastic sleeve. Also, the old (and...

vacuum valve levers

maybe I'm imagining it, but Garner's 1-2 and 2-3 shifts seem smoother now than before installing the two little levers I got from diesel giant. For 10 bucks, it was worth it, as my old ones were...

Hello and Thanks!

Hello all-
I now have my first MB! "Garner" is a tan, 1983 300D turbo with 220K (well, okay, that's what the stuck odometer reads).
I want to say thank you to everybody for this wonderful and...

Thanks to all!

Wow, I appreciate all of the info...guess I just need to keep on looking for a suitable specimen!

Thanks! I'm new to the forum and appreciate your info. I thought it was all vacuum. So hypothetically, then, a 300D turbo 82-85 may exist that has manual windows and sunroof, but only if it were...

Options for 1982-85 300D

I suspect there was never an option in the '82-'85 300D's to have manual windows and/or manual sunroofs, am I right? I've only seen the 240D's with all manual windows, door locks, sunroof...
