I love going up to Berkeley and seeing all the diesel Benzes driving around. I used to live across from Fat Apples...uhm 30 years ago.

Good luck with the search. I was amazed at getting my 300d back to making power. It wasn’t any one thing that was robbing power. It was half a dozen things each eating a few HP and once I went through it all it finally ran properly.

Putting a boost gauge (just a T, some hose and a cheap air gauge) on my ALDL line gave me an idea just how much boost I was getting. I had a lot of goo on the inlet side of my turbo.
