NM Diesel Heads...

All you diesel heads who know the official state question and know your red from green... lets see how many of us there are... maybe plan a GTG. All this warm weather makes me want to break out a keg and make some fajitas...
at least let's let each other know where we are and maybe offer assistance or comiseration with our troubles.

Robert,
I ended up betting the 74. What really clinched it for me was that the little quartz clock was still working.. I called Dans and took it down there. He kinda made fun of me cause by the time I got down there, it wasn't smoking anymore. I just probobly didnt get it warm enough before. Plus I had trouble getting it in reverse. Thats the first manual mercedes Ive driven!
I just tried to start it in the cold and I couldnt get it started. Hopefully just the glow plugs. I should probobly invest in a block heater.
I tried emailing you but it just bounced back...

Jason

congrats on the car.. it really hasn't been that cold last two nights, it shoulda started. does the glow plug system seem ok? i have a lower rad hose heater for a 1 1/2 inch hose you can have.. it's used one that a guy was gonna throw away and i took it.
