Thanks a zillion for taking time to make this video for beginners like me to follow. God bless.
You're a long way away from the Netherlands. Guess you gave up truck driving.
1983 300SD...385, 370, 340, 385, 355.
Where can I find that service manual ?
@@dinamitasquad2885 they’re no longer printed but occasionally pop up on eBay. Or there’s also PDF versions available online if you do some searching.
Do you still have that awesome single axle freightliner?
@@theidahomegarage8090 yes I do. I sold the big semi and am no longer running the business but keeping that one for hauling a car trailer for personal use.
Do you still have this truck?
@@theidahomegarage8090 yes I do!
What an amazing journey!!! Amazing machine does amazing things!😎
@@VITOSGARAGE thanks Vito!
sounds strong
Great video
Thank you very much for this video! Amazing car. I have a W123 240D of 1983 here in Italy and I drive it like you in every condition! These cars are the BEST!
@@matteobruzzone827 thank you, it sounds like you’re getting some good use out of your 240D as well. These cars are meant to be driven.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing that drive!
@@ironmule5200 thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Do you have to have a dealer license to buy from copart?
@@duridersa each State is different, in some States you do and in others you don’t. If you check their website for your State it will tell you.
How much did you sell this for? I have a 95 12v 4x4 same size motorhome I’m looking to sell soon.
Sell it to me! What city are you in?
Location? Im in the market in CA
cool vids man good job informative content. I wish there where 400 dollar mercedes left in europe it doesnt happen period 900 and completely parts cars yes but all the rest is in or africa and still running with no doors seats and dinged to crap or marocco or such. build to last and will run for ever if taken care of.
We have a 1978 300D W123 and it has an engine stop part number: 123 240 03 65 which is just behind the oil pan. This means the chassis is lifted with the engine until that engine stop bracket is unbolted.
11+ mpg is pretty good. What motor does this truck have?
Just subscribe to your Channel I have a 1970 220 diesel body is pretty Rusty remove the motor and transmission trying to get it running👍
Very good info. If you could work on that camera angle and turn up the audio instructions I think you would have the perfect brake/ bearing video. Thanks for what you posted.
Amazing like your motor mount video. Nice work!!!
Thanks Grant!
I’ve owned these 300’s for years. I changed my engine mounts 5 years ago & sure wish I’d seen this first. I’m afraid I need to change them again - I did not use the original equipment - I’ve done that on a few jobs and regretted it. Thanks for your good advice.
Thank you. I’d definitely recommend getting Lemforder engine mounts as they were the OEM supplier for MB. A lot of the other brands unfortunately don’t last nearly as long.
U done hard work
Thanks for taking the time to make this video for us ! Liked/Subscribed ! *FJB !*
Someone did a number on that car Is splacing wires Cool you got it Running
Need new glow plugs
The glow plugs were actually ok, but the glow plug relay was bad.
This good car very cheap
Love these old reliable machines! My own 1983 W123 300D 4-speed needed some serious work all around, but i love that as project too. These with diesel engines are so simple to work on, and W123's only real threat is rust. My own has some of it, but in future i am gonna fix it through and through. Gonna restore it properly and take care it well, so it will take care of me in return! I actually have couple projects that have to wait to this one to be complete, i maybe sell those ones if someone who have interest in them.
Thanks for the comment! I’m glad to hear you’re working on fixing yours and taking good care of them. These are such amazing cars! I have a few others I’m working on fixing up as well.
keep vids coming! Nice
Это будет супер!!!
Great video and diagnosis!
Another one saved!!!!😍
Thanks. Looks like you have been busy as well! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Good to see you posting again. Are you doing this work as a full time job nowadays?
I get to work on these during the “off season” in the winter but I have a full time job during the summer.
Boko...how's the new wife, the new house, newtown...and trucking business?
thanks for this, wish i watched it before doing it. which offset reversible ratcheting wrench is that? and how did you mount a socket to it? with a hex to 1/4" square adapter?
so we should think is true right?ahahahahahahahahaha crackpot
Amazing video!!!!!
Amazing! Please keep uploading on the w123 content, I'm all the way here for it
Great job thank you
thanks! great video. dont think either of these are my issue but great to know how to diagnose. My issue on the same car is that i have air out the middle two vents but very little out the bottom towards the feet! gets chilly driving in colder temperatures :/
This video answers so many questions about my 240d. Thank you.
Really nice video, I needed those informations thanks a lot ! Where may I find the factory service manual ?
What Mercedes part #s did you use for those mounts?
Welcome back. Nice job.
Valves sound tight. Did it run and sound better after a valve adjustment? Any updates on the car's progress?
I did a couple more videos on it, I tested the compression and injectors and unfortunately the engine needs to be rebuild. If you check out my channel you’ll find the other videos I did on this car.
Great video! What socket size is the motor mount?
8mm hex socket for the bigger one, usually 6mm hex for the 2 smaller ones
Score! Nice video. Almost looks like you are in walla walla...
Prepared trucking really makes his mouth water I guess🤔
What is the shield for? Can I leave it off for better acces sto the bolts?
This is the best video that i have seen sofar for changing the engine mounts. I am changing mine and i had all sorts of questions, like where to the cover arrow point, how to remove the mini shocks as mine was turning. You have covered everything in detail and so well explained. Thank you for making such DIY inspirational videos. Regards, Sujit
Thank you so much for the kind words Sujit. I’m glad it was helpful. Good luck with your car.
new (to me) shop looks great, wish I could be there to learn working on these! I now own an old(er) German car myself, a 23 year old BMW 320ci, not quite as vintage though 😉
Yes it’s a little bigger shop, so lots of room. That’s cool, you should send me some pictures of it! I bet it’s a lot faster than any of my cars.
Great Video Boko, very informative. Glad to see you back.
Thank you!
