[diesel_mercedes] Cruise Control

 

Some weeks ago I saw an OM617 with NO cruise control hardware. I tucked it away as "interesting" but not critical to my way of life as I never use cruise control and mine doesn't work anyway. But, I did notice that my accelerator linkage on Mary was stiffer than the accelerator linkage on Martha. So while doing my weekly maintenance and looking at the cruise control linkage I decided to remove the rod that connects to the cruise control (which I don't use, need, or want anyway).

And, presto! My foot pedal and accelerator are my friend again. I may have to get some better linkage (straighter & at right angles) but for now, I think I did something good.
