G'mornin',

Mr. Carleton, As I said, I located my problem, and learned what all the various devices did.

The meat of my previous post here, and several others is.....

I see a need for a "Vacuum" thread in the DIY Links by Parts Category section of this website.....I had some vacuum problems, I managed to resolve them with some excellent help from the folks here in Diesel Forum. However, this topic keeps popping up, and the answers keep getting repeated...over and over....

IF the moderators would take a bit of time, and begin a "Vacuum Problems" section someplace then it would make life a bit easier for the next person to have one of the problems like....
Engine Won't Shut Off
Transmission Shifts Hard/Oddly
I Hear a Hissing Noise
Climate Control Has Lost Its Mind
and so forth.......

I apologize if I am out of line here......just think a "Vacuum Thread" in DIY would make life easier for those working all around a complex MB system.

If I had read tis thread, a month ago....it would have made life a bit easier....

Also, I take this opportunity to thank all who helped me at that time, again!!

Thanx,
Shorebilly
