After dark, heavy pre-Christmas traffic. I had to leave it running another minute or so to get safely off the highway.It ran for another 4 months or so before it really manifested a problem.

Re: [MBZ] How bad would you have to overhear at 617 that would cause it not to start?
Kaleb, Just some xtra info. My mechanic once told me that if a diesel doesn't start and you continue trying to crank it that you will "wash down the cylinder walls" and lose compression and it will never start. He said the fix is to remove the glow plugs, pour oil into each cylinder, replace the glow plugs and let it sit overnight. He said it will now regain enough compression to start, assuming the glow plugs and fuel are ok and battery can spin fast enough. It would seem a simple try before doing a lot of work to include replacing the engine. Just a suggestion. Best Wishes and hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving, Roger Roger Hale Dinnerware Classics, Inc.
