I picked up the truck today. Drives surprisingly well, but the overall experience is crude, Unimog-ish. At idle it's very noisy and vibratory. At freeway speeds it smooths right out. Boost gauge goes up to about 14 PSI before the overboost cutout drops it back to 10. Has very little low-end torque, feels like the 190D rather than the 200D, which has a very truck-like feel. You need to keep the RPM up on this to keep power on. It'll be fine, regardless.
The original conversion was a non-turbo engine. The next owner switched it out for a turbo motor. The next owner sold off the spare motor, and then eventually sold me the truck. Pix and stuff to follow, when time allows. -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
