No, only the rubber ring is necessary.
You should run about 175 to 195 F -- cooling is NOT better, as engine

Nope. A little Hi-Tack on the mating surfaces (and on the o-ring) can make

The problem with a single cab is theres nowhere to put your luggage.
What about putting a cap on it?
That's fine, unless you're planning on hauling a 5th wheel.
And it'll cost him more to get the car than he pays for it. If he only
ran BioD, then it'd be cheap to get.

Ever have one? Try riding a lawnmower or snowmobile into a truck that has a
cap... Plus if you haul brush or such you really need to take the cap off.
Then if its winter and this is a snowmobiling trip the snowmobile in the back
will have snow on it, which will get on your luggage, that and
Hello Curt,
The problem with the starters is somewhat troubling but as of yet, no real
conclusions. The failure mode for the first was a slowly degenerating
condition in which it would just click when you turn the key to start. I
would turn the key back and try again and it would start. My

He thinks it's a 600 Pullman, I think. 30K if mint? Sure it's a limo,
but it's mechanically a W123, right? It isn't like the 600's with

A bit confusing here, but did the compressor actually start turning or not?
If not, the low side would read high when not running, if low side is

Sorry, the belt is turning on the compressor. However, the clutch is not
engaged so the compressor is NOT actually turning. So it IS normal for the
low side to be high pressure when th compressor is NOT running.
So the question is where to look for other reasons that the clutch isn't
engaging?
Is power (12 Volts) getting to the clutch?

Hey dieselers,
Just wanted to provide a quick trip report from my 'mastadon hunting'

retrieve a 1979 240D that had been sitting for the better part of a year
since it was last started. Although the car had been well taken
