injector installation 86 300SDL
Hey Kent when installing injectors back into my 86 300SDL do you recommend a little anti seaze comound on the threads? They came out pretty hard and had a little corrosion on them.

1984 300D oil under rear end
Hi all, my 1984 with 179,000 miles clocked had a litte wet spot under her rear-end today after we went for a cruise. I got underneath her and there was evidence of oil being slung around on the underbody. It was concentrated on the passenger side of the differential but hard to pinpoint. It didn't look like either of rubber boots were cracked so I am leaning towards the axle seal on the differential. Does it sound like I am going in the right direction? Looks like one of those cheap-part-lotta-labor type jobs. Thanks, Mike

He's saying air is getting in lines...but we both have no idea...please help!!!

diesel won't start 1978 300cd
I'm a diesel novice, but have had lots of old gasoline fueled cars, from 1930's - 1960's. Have had my 300cd for about a year and driven about 7,000 miles. Adjusted 300cd's valves last week (all were a little tight, but ok and was last done about 9,000 miles ago according to records). Replaced glow plugs last year. Had in-tank fuel screen cleaned last year. Now about 1/2 way through a tank of fuel that's about a week old. Started this winter even at 20 degree temp all day. Car now in heated garage. Has been starting and running ok. Driven several times previous day without a glitch.

1978 300SD Oil Leaks
I've been running through a lot of oil lately so I had my engine cleaned thoroughly and ran it at idle for 30 mins. I noticed that oil was leaking from the grate at the bottom of the transmission, but nowhere else immediately noticeable. I suspect that this is the dreaded rear crank leak that requires engine removal, but would appreciate confirmation before I go out and solicit estimates. Am I correct?

93 300d 2.5l turbo rebuild kit
I have a 93 300d and am trying to find a rebuild kit for the turbo. I can't find anything not even who made the turbo and what model number it was. I found the oem part no. A0030969899 (new) and A003096989980 (reman) thats it.
Do you plan on offering a rebuild kit for the turbo? Or know where I could find one?
thanks matthew

1985 300T DT Valve cover cables purpose?
Exactly What does that cable mounted on the valve cover throttle assembly that goes to the transmission do? I guess it replaces the vacuum control in pre 1985 models, but what exactly does it do?
Thanks... G
