My friend who is a diesel mechanic told me that most likely the injectors need to be rebuilt bc the fuel doesn't get atomized? like it should at cold startup?? I don't know much about diesels, but it makes sence since it only does sputter at startup and not when the engine is warmmed up.
Any comments???
I'm planning on changing the tranny fluid soon also, and other tune up should I do before winter???

thx a lot

Pull the injectors have them poptested and rebuilt if needed. Inspect your prechambers. Get an FSM from MBUSA for $20. 85 is the only year a 2.88 diff was installed. Great for highway miles, not bad around town either. There are a few other 85 only goodies in this model. You may want to take a look at your EGR, you may find a quarter there!
