tow dolly or another car?

[davidkerryedwards]

Can you describe the Remco decoupler? Are they hard to install? Cost?

So far, I concur on the turbo. Only one short steep hill driving it
home but the pyro did not reach 1000 degrees. Unless is starts
exceeding it regularly, I'm planning to leave it on. I have to get
another boost gauge and check the boost. Current gauge is either not
working correctly or boost is very low. Haven't been able to figure
out yet whether it has a wastegate and if it does, how it functions.
Emissions test showed 14% opacity at all speeds so it is running very
clean at the moment

the pyrometer under 1000 degrees and you will be all good, if temp
exceeds 1000, reduce throttle opening or down shift. Operate the
engine 1800 on the low side, 2650 on the high side and you will be
fine. As you have a after market turbo, it would be pretty easy to
install an air to air charge air cooler and that would be a real good
thing, particularly for reducing exhaust smoke. People that go by the
creed of "you can't hurt a diesel running on the governor", tend to
buy new engines.

1977 MB 300d and I drive an 85 MB 300td. Both have auto transmissions
so aren't towable 4 wheels down. Is a tow dolly a reasonable option
or are they just too much of a pain in the neck? Would it be better
to buy a cheap older stick shift car and tow it with a tow bar? Other
options?
