Oil at 75F is thinner than oil at -10F, but I guess you are referring to
when oil gets very thin, lets say at 220F?
210-220deg is just fine. And I'm not talking synthetic, either.

I was wondering if someone with a working EPC could look up the datacard
for my 300D and check the tranny number. The chassis # is
12313312011366. The installed trans # is 722.315 02 218843. I suspect
it has been rebuilt at some point; just curious if it is the original
'box or an exchange.

Hey, it'd be worth making yourself two years older (virtually) just
to avoid that nasty Chrysler ACC that a '78 would have.
We have 10 MB's, plus three parts hulks and one sold off, and not a one
of them has (or had) that system. Luck? I think

This is a good tip from Trampas. If the alternator light doesn't come on
befire you crank the engine, the light is unreliable. In other words, it may
not light when the alternator stops charging. Don't ask how I know.

I am with Kaleb on this one, you should try tow starting. The other option
which I have done is use 24V on the starter. I do not recommend this unless
you know how to disconnect all the electrical system except the starter.
Basically the rings have taken a set in the pistons and the engine does

down below carpet and carpet pad behind the seats to make sure no rust - it

I think someone on the list was looking for a 300CD. There's been one

Well, the odometer in the 300SDL has quit. I had a 560SEL that did the same
thing. Both stopped right around 200K miles. Is this a common problem, and
any info on what to look for and how to repair it? If not, I guess I'm in
the market for a new instrument cluster. There's one on ebay for a

to one of the 2 hard rubber drive gears crumbling. They are a double gears,
small gear should be 12 teeth, large gear is 60. When replaced, all is well
again.
Just make sure to remove all the tiny particles. VDO was taken
My suggestion is as follows, pull vehicle to top of large hill ending
in abrupt cliff.
While inside vehicle have helper give vehicle solid shove to start down hill.
At speed attempt to engage engine.
Should that fail, attempt to engage brakes.
Should both fail you will not need to worry about

I push started cars before, using an old tire tied off in the trunk so it
hangs over the rear bumper. As long as the bumper height of the vehicles is
within a few inches, this works good. If you don't trust the brakes at all,
tie a sling or rope from the pusher to the pushee.

Has anyone suggested a squirt of oil in each cylinder to help seal the rings
and putting 24 volts to the starter? Briefly, of course, so you don't burn
up the starter but that will surely make it spin faster. I've never tried
it on a diesel but it works wonders for old worn out Chebby
