Jim, I was mistaken... posting on others' thread about the 1992 300D 2.5, I was talking about a 1992 300SD (140). So, my mistake, it's not a 2.5 but an SD, apparently with the 3.5L engine.
Nice clean vehicle, though. It's in Asheville, NC. on 4/21/08 2:10 Uhr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > NOTE:? The engine in your subject line is NOT the problem engine.?
