Cool little truck. Good save, and good luck. I dont think the MB auto diesel is quite the way to go though. Wasnt meant for that type of service. May I ask you to considder a Cummins 4bt, parts are common, fairly(for a diesel) inexpensive, and quite durable.

Speedometers in North America are calibrated to read 60 MPH at 1000 rpm on the speedo cable. They are driven by magnets, and controlled with springs, the older analog ones anyway. We wont get into digital today. There is a tiny screw on it somewhere with which it can be calibrated. First...
