Re: [MBZ] runaway 300SDL, diesels CAN smoke the tires
Hate it when that happens. bill s So Regina calls and says that the SDL all the sudden started accelerating out of control. So I head back to check out the situation. Apparantly the linkage to the IP broke(looks like plastic) and stuck the IP to full open throttle. I mean FULL open. So I start it up, slam it into reverse as quick as I can before it revs up too high, BAMM, smoking tires, then to drive, smokes the tires for a block or 2 it seems. Anyways, got it home, shut off engine as I was turning into driveway. By the time I got back home(only a couple of miles) brakes sure were smoking from trying to bring the speed down. Next I will try some JB weld or something to fix that linkage. Hope I dont have to pull the manifold. -- Kaleb C.

Re: [MBZ] runaway 300SDL, diesels CAN smoke the tires
You CAN access every bit of the linkage with the manifold in situ, but patience is required. I've fiddled with these items far more times than I care to recall. I used epoxy to fix the plastic ball joints on the sliding linkage between the IP and CC servo bracket. On 9/27/05, Kaleb C.
