I got the 86-2865-C from CV man 301 - 498-4326 www.thecvman.com Ordered it Friday. Got it Monday. Putting it on today. Instructions say to clean the joint...
I've asked this before with mixed results - so lets try again. Outside temp is lower than 60F and I get 10 or 15 seconds of dieseling before shut off. Temp...
NO ~ you cannot clean out the '85 cat as it's a particulate filter and stays plugged no matter what you do . I'd bet if you took yours in for the _FREE_ recall...
Brian ; Get the vacuum pump tool , I forget it's name right now but it'll help you track down the leak ~ under the passenger side mats are several joints as...
I think you may be using the term "dieseling" wrong........ that usually refers to the run-on, usually backwards, of a gas engine, mostly due to carbon build...
Dear Random Thinker You are correct in assuming that it is just a problem of vacuum shut off - usually no longer than 15 - 20 seconds after ignition is off. If...
you could just declare it a "feature" and be done. My 1984 F250 with a 6.9 diesel has an aftermarket engine shut down delay to prevent hot turbo shutdown....
sounds like you're on the right track to me........ I guess that's one of the good things about my 220D. Cable shutoff. I like that car for it's simplicity,...
Brian ; The vacuum resivoir is in the (unheated) trunk , up below the backlight . You could try capping off the yellow pipe with the brown tracer as that's the...
No heat in my 84 300 TD wagon. We usually don't drive it in the winter so were unaware of this problem. As long as vehicle is sitting still heater/defroster...
Looks like this boot is too big on the large side. The large side is 2.690 across. I might try building up with neoprene tape. It does however cover the whole...
Check the auxiliary water pump. Also check the monovalve. Does the rest of the vacuum systems work OK?? Locks and engine shutoff. Jeff ... From: "bhdexterfarm"...
mine has had a regular clunk for a long time. Left front clunks when braking in reverse. Then clunks again the first time braking after going forward. Well,...
You will probably read about various "press" mechanisms ("C" clamp shaped things and other similar devices) which I suspect are fine and dandy, and used by...
possible, for removing the ball joint from the knuckle, however, I am still stuck on getting the cone shaped bit out of the lower control arm. ... shaped...
There is a PROPER tool for both these items. The 'C' clamp IS the proper tool for pressing the ball joint out of the control arm. Hammering is NOT the proper...
FWIW ; I was hunting on E-bay Deutshland under ' Unimog ' parts and ran across several different split CV joint boots , all new . might be worth a look . NO...
I have always been told, when removing the 'hubs' to separate the ball joints by delivering a 'mighty blow' with a four pound sledge to the end of the...
I just did ball joints in my 84 300D, and I had a clunk. I had a pulling problem when turning, and found my power steering pump was acting up. I flushed the...
Hello folks! I have a 1984 300D Turbo, and I have been bringing it back from a very sad existence. I have my car running well, except for a "knock" at either...
Most likely, your "knock" is caused by a dirty or defective injector. If so, you're losing some power and fuel mileage, but, no, it's not a death knell. You...
One thing you can always try is your local auto parts supply store. Auto Zone, for instance, will "rent" for free many of the most commonly used tools, such...
Well, that is informative! I didn't think it could be an injector, but considering what came out of the fuel filter first time (rusty water), this is a...
Just so ~ this is the original way , long beore there were fancy $350.00 Baum tools to do the same job . Older mechanics here will recall in the olden days ,...
James ; If it's a rod knock it's dead simple to diagnose : engine warmed up and in neutral , grasp the throttle linkage and rev. the engine a bit , the...
OOPS ~ not clear there : what I _meant_ to write was , as you loosen each injector pipe in turn , the cylinder will begin to miss and when the knocking stops...
