Are all of you other '87 SDL owners aware of the evil trap oxidizers? Killers of turbines??? Mine, mercifully, had an '86 exhaust manifold installed w/o the TO. It was done too late, however. Crap from the TO built up and sent crud into the turbine. The car drove like an old 200D. Now she is awesome.

Good luck enjoying your road-going diesel locomotive.
