The bracket is not up to the task, at least the ones I have replaced on
the SD. The most recent one I got from our esteemed lister/supplier was
cheap chinee crap but can probably be fixed with some stout metal. I
think the problem is sort of a design issue along with a marginal part
(per the design) The air cleaner is pretty heavy and sits cantilevered
out quite a ways on the bracket, and the engine, and hence AC shakes
quite a bit, and that bending moment/flexing with that weight hanging
out there just destroys a poorly-designed/manufactured part and general
arrangement.

300SD Air Cleaner "Fix". Does this require bracing welded to the factory
bracket, or a rubber donut mounted to the side of the air cleaner in gap between
air cleaner and valve cover?

My 300SD tends to do it own thing also, but is amazingly quieter with a
piece of high density foam zip tied to the hose on the top of the air
breather. I have to get that air filter brace repaired about once a year.
Dragon does a good job of verbal commands, and 'go to sleep' will stop it
cold - unless I am in the dead zone awaiting it to start processing again.
I've made a few changes to the system and program, but it will be tomorrow
before I am ready to give it a try.

So, it sounds like Dragon is trying to "listen" while you are away? It
sounds like performance isn't a bottleneck until Dragon eats all your RAM,
so maybe it's just recording dead air. If that's so, you will never be able
to beat it.
I've not used Dragon, is there a way to pass it commands like "pause"? Or a
setting for max record time before going idle?
Best,
Tim
Who tried telling his 300D what to do, but it is stubborn
