Hi my name is Blake. Im sure y'all get these treads all the time. I am new to MB diesels but i work on Semi's for a living and also have built high horsepower diesels in the past. really looking sell what i have and get a 300d. any typical things i should look for? any parts on these cars rust worse than other cars? Performance wise how much can these motors handle? A manual trans swaps a hard thing as far as parts? Are there aftermarket performance retailers for these car? I know its a lot of question, any input is greatly appreciated. Glad to be a part of the forum and if i can lend a hand at any diesel advise i will try my best to help.
