So drive it in 3rd gear. Go on, it really won't hurt it. :) I drive mine in
3rd at 70 once a week. Keeps the tailgaters off with occasional puffs
of black
smoke.

'83 300SD (236 kmi)
'82 300CD (160 kmi)
'82 300D (74 kmi) needs MAJOR work
Quoting carbucks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
If all was doing was freeway or autobahn driving, I'd keep the 85 with
its lower rpm at speed. However my trip to work is over a mountain range
at a 50 mph speed limit and it's just not happy. Now take it up to 90
mph and it's very happy.

Just curious, why are you keeping the 84 and selling the 85? 85 was the
last and best year of those.
