Tom:
Overheating of the PMD module is universal to the 6.5 engine and
unrelated to fuel choice. The injector pump is heat soaked because it
lives in the valley between the heads, the fuel going through it is
intended to cool it and the PMD. This is Stanadyne's design theory, but
it is busted. The operating temp. rating of the transistors in the PMD
is 65C, lower than the ambient temp under the hood!
I am enjoying the most satisfactory solution to it: I made an extension
cable, remote-mounted the PMD in the front bumper hole, and bolted/wired
on a powered-fan cpu heatsink. My PMD never gets beyond barely warm to
the touch. I can help you do the cable and have a cache of suitable cpu
fan/heatsinks.
The other issue on the 6.5 is that biodiesel causes the fuel filter
o-ring to swell and degrades/waxes the bottom, so that when you pull off
the filter to inspect your stalled out vehicle, you can't put it back
on. Ask me how I know. I'm installing a big Racor filter and may bypass
the stock filter entirely.

Pulled the glow plug, its broken off at about half way. Not a good sign. Check compression, its right at 100lbs. The guy who had it did say it started doing this right after he had the glow plugs changed.

Luthor, Now that you have opposing opinions, I hope Dave Mienman will chime in as he has done this. And his photo website is open to the public. My recollection is that the later heads have an inclined pre chamber which CAN be machined and shimmed to use the older vertical pre chambers and injectors. What I don't know is if there is any corresponding change in the tops of the pistons which would preclude using the later head, with the later pre chambers and injectors on the 87 engine. You should ask the seller for a photo of the top of his pistons. Keep us informed, $10 is not your top bid is it!!!? Jim Friesen Phoenix AZ 79 300SD, 262 K miles 98 ML 320, 146 K miles

[MBZ] 300CD oil usage
Since everyone has a high amount of time invested in this, I thought I'd give you the latest update. I let the engine sit with Marvel Mystery Oil sitting in each cylinder for nearly 2 weeks before finally starting it up. Once the initial smoking was done, it settled into it's normal amount of visible smoke at idle. Rats, no change. So I drove it to the fuel station, filled up with a tank of B10 and drove it for a few days. After a day or so of driving like I stole it, I ran some full throttle starts onto the interstate with people behind me at night. I could notice a definate reduction in the amount of smoke/particulate in the headlights behind me. It was more like cruising throttle at 70-75mph was before and the smoke/particulate while cruising at 70-75 was not visible. This is a definate change. So, I took the car to KS/NE and back last weekend, over 1000 miles of mostly 65-80. When I parked it for the first time in KS after about 450 miles, it left a 6-8" spot of oil on the ground. This is odd...this car never left more than 2 or 3 nickle or quarter sized drops under it in multiple days here at work...the puddle only took 2-3 hours... So, when I arrived back home, I put some cardboard under the car and it puddled up again, right under the front edge of the oil pan. I looked a little closer, and it appears to be draining down from the crank shaft and front main seal. Finally, something visible that I can repair. -- Luther KB5QHU Alma, Ark '83 300SD (236 kmi) '82 300CD (160 kmi) '82 300D (74 kmi) needs MAJOR work

I've played with my SD's adjustment enough so that it has even shifts all the way up and will down shift when under no throttle and I move the gear shift from D-S. Does anyone have factory documentation showing that these transmissions are suppose to start in 2nd unless the kickdown switch is activated? -- Luther KB5QHU Alma, Ark '87 300SDL (270,491 mi) head case?

His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in," says the man. "Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity." "Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the senator. "I'm sorry, but we have our rules." And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises... The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. "Now it's time to visit heaven." So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns. "Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity." The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell." So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder. "I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?" The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning.. Today you voted."

I attribute this to good fuel, perfectly set injection timing, no stretch on a new chain, excellent compression from the valve job and a fairly low mileage bottom end (~110k), no carbon in the prechambers, excellent injectors (inc 3 rebuilts with very tight pop pressures) good air flow from a clean head and intake, properly adjusted valves, maintaining high tire pressures, not riding around with much more in the car except my then 175lb self, and, being 17 and paying for my own insurance and gas, driving within the speed limit. In the last 40k miles and 4+ years, thats slowly dropped down to about 28 on mostly highway driving (now usually closer to 80 than 65 or 70) and 26-27 around town.

Re: [MBZ] overheating SDL
Ok, so I drained and flushed all the Prestone and red crap out tonight then put in the citric acid and water and drove it again. It seemed to be running ok and like it had before, nothing higher than 95 on the interstate, so I decided to drive it a bit farther on the interstatethat was a mistake. On one hill, it got up to 105, but I was able to get it back down under 100 from there. The next hill on the way back, it hit 105, but wouldn't come back down and shortly there after hit 110 and then shot up to 120...gr. I stoped and let it cool back down, but that wasn't enough. So I babied it back to the house and let it idle while I misted some water over the areas of the radiator that were hot. It eventually cooled back under 100, but I was fairly short on coolant. I'm letting it cool off right now and then I'm going to flush and drain the system completely and pull the radiator. I'm going to try flushing it by itself, and then taking it to a radiator shop.

Re: [MBZ] SDL radiator flush
I was flushing the radiator alone, removed from the car. Once I ran the hot water through the radaitor for about 20 minutes and had verified that the radiator was evenly warm on both sides (remember-it use to be stone cold in the center while in the car) I emptied the citric acid out and flushed the radiator with clean water-both reverse flow and normal flow. No more red flakes. Tomorrow, I will hook up to the radiator hoses (already have a modified open thermostat installed) and flush/air agitate the block for several hours. Then I'll install the radiator and see if it cools any better.

Re: [MBZ] Noisy 300D engine
The best way to check the problem is to grab your 17 mm open end wrench and crack #1 injector line, if the sound goes away-that's your problem. If not, tighten the injector line and wait for the engine idle to smooth out, then repeat on #2, #3, etc. until you find the source. If none of them quiet the sound, the problem is deep in the engine. -- Luther KB5QHUAlma, Ark '87 300SDL (270,491 mi) head case?

[MBZ] '82 300CD excessive oil useage
Ok, so it's an old subject, but Kaleb's posted the question to me several times about the cold starting on this car. This morning it was 13 degrees when I left for work. Glowed for 15 seconds (counted by the ticking of the dash clock) and turned the starter right after the glow light went out for 1-1.5 seconds, and it fired up and began to idle at 600 rpm (without any throttle assistance), nearly as smooth as glass. It only missed once after about 3 seconds of idling. This car has Delo 400 in the crank and NOT Mobile 1 like my SD which can be a tad more rough to start when it's that cold. Sounds to me like the compression is ok. I am seeing a small amount of oil in the vacuum lines and have parts from Rusty to rebuild the vacuum pump.

I can't see how it goes from the vacuum pump to the engine on this car. There is no vent hose to the air cleaner, the IP shutoff valve is new, and the EGR is blocked off. Where else is there to loose oil? Could it be an IP seal sucking oil in and mixing it with the fuel??? -- Luther KB5QHUAlma, Ark '87 300SDL (270,491 mi) head case?

Re: [MBZ] Okie Benz trip
When's the last time you drove I-540 from Alma to Fayetteville? There's the one hill leading to the tunnel. 3 miles at a solid 80% full throttle to maintain 70mph. Slows nearly all semis to 50mph or less. Full throttle will generally gain about 1mph per 5 seconds or so with my SD, slightly better with the CD. The very next hill (north bound) is just as steep, if not more so, but shorter...only 1.5 miles. That's about the best you can findunless you run the gorgeous Highway 71 between Alma and Fay...
