Phillip,
Its a 400watt blockheater, my 400watt inverter handles it with no worries. I
use a 110ah marine battery and 20 minutes is plenty to start my car down to
-15F out in the driveway. Cars don't suffer from windchill anyway.
At -20F an hour on the heater gets everything going just fine.

Only the 1985-1987 cars had trap oxidizers, so no, you don't have an
open recall. You probably also have a different exhaust manifold,
minus the long "return pipe" the 86-87 603 and 602 had.

here are the rules:
1. If you drive slow stay to the right.
2. When coming into an onramp be at the same speed as the freeway before
the onramp ends.
3. SUV's, mini vans and high profile vehicles aren't allowed in the fast
lane...PERIOD
4. Don't slow down or look at accidents...accelerate past

Chris,
I think Marshall's comments are long gone. Richard didn't read my

And he had no backup to pull from. So unless they're saved on

I agree - the pressure symptom is NOT conclusive that the head is
cracked. But IMO it creates a strong possibility. Marshall's two
190D's are about the only ones I know of that had this with no
apparent ill effects, but remember neither of them were OM603's.

I don't have a problem with this unless you are poking along a freeway
onramp. The onramp near me feeds into an interstate with a 75mph speed
limit. If you're saving fuel with a light foot, and are only up to
45mph by the time you reach the freeway, and I'm stuck behind you

The MPG vs. MPH curve varies a lot by model. The non-turbo cars with
low (high numerical) gears will probably get best MPG in the 50-65mph
range, I'd guess. Turbo cars will bump that up a tad, partially
because they usually have taller (lower numerical) gears. However all
