@krakhedd i no longer have this particular jeep, but do have another project coming up. It may be something I would consider in the future

@protecsafes6642 yes, upgraded bosch injectors and bosch fuel pump. I didn't do it to this particular one, but I have removed the rack limiter one one before. I don't recommend it as you can have catastrophic failure due to over revving .

Thank you Sir 😊

@normahalteman7253 to be honest, I haven't delt with the Rangers much. I do know if it's the m5r1 trans, they aren't very strong and i would recommend swapping something in its place to give better reliability

@jacobclarkson5306 i haven't actually put any of these om617 on a dino , so i couldn't give you a hp/torque number. I can tell you it is a major difference in felt power. Especially if you couple it with a built injection pump. That's where it really brings out potential

It's a chevy 241c transfer case. Come from a 92 chevy 2500 silverado

@flavio-p do it! It's a very fun build

@MrVictory13 thanks brother! Yes I believe the fuel pumps are different, the turbo version requires more fuel supply. You will likely have to upgrade

@drmachinewerke1 i usually make my own. I bought several from mercedes 4x4 back in the day but he went out of business. They were bad about breaking to ,so just started making my own

Yes, 1 in spacer with 2.5 in studs will be perfect if your running am intercooler

@@joselu953 Consideraría seriamente el om617 frente al 0m603. El om603 tiene fama de tener la cabeza rota. no son tan confiables.

@augustus5151 they are awesome engines.I sell one every once in a while, but I do not normally source them out for people. Shipping is a pain and expensive. The engines are getting more expensive and harder to come by with the popularity sky rocketing as well

Thanks brother. Yes definitely good advice. I successfully removed some studs this way with no heat

In my opinion, an xh30 is going to give you max power output. But something such as a holset HE221W will spool quickly and give better bottom end at the sacrifice of top end capability.

HX30!

I usually find genuine holset turbos if I can. They cost a little more but last way longer

@@Steel-Gunner OK, and thanks for you reply I am eager to give it a try.

I usually use an ax15 transmission, I used to get the motor mounts from koch enterprises, but they are out of business. Doomsday diesel has them

Thanks brother

It has averaged around 12mpg. I have trouble keeping my foot out of it so I haven't got to estimate full potential on mpg's yet lol

@@Steel-Gunner sounds pretty accurate to me. Keep up the good work, man! I love the channel and I will be following along.

@@redneck305xD thanks brother I appreciate it

I left the jeep ecu in to run the guages. I still don't have the tach hooked up, but the rest are easy. The factory Speedo runs off of wheel speed sensors. The fuel guage remains the same since it's the stock fuel tank. I run a mechanical oil guage, and the temp guage runs on a 3 wire temp sensor that sends signal to the factory temp guage and the gm ls computer as well. I will get around to the tach eventually

Nv3500 out of a 1992 chevy silverado 2500

@@Steel-GunnerDang all the things I’ve read about the NV3500 is that it’s not meant for performance, but seems like you’re having no issue rowing gears like it’s a T56 👍

@@bishop94z yeah it's doing well so far. We will see what the long-term is lol

Thanks brother

Thanks! Very doable. Several people have and made a good power jump

This is an engine I pulled from a 1983 mercedes 300sd. It's an om617 3.0 inline 5 cylinder turbo diesel

Its actually just a spacer, not an adapter per say. The openings on the spacer are the exact size as the flange on the turbo, so there are no air restrictions

I have put over 4k miles on this swap so far and there is zero noise from the trans or any of the hydraulic throwout bearing components . It actually is a much smoother and easier clutch to operate vs a standard slave cylinder style

Thanks for the info. My experience unfortunately was complete opposite. I did some pretty extensive research and people were either guessing or they were saying it won't hold up. I found very little useful info on bolting an nv3500 to an ls. Also I found very limited to almost no availability of an nv3500 anywhere near me. That being said I had to get what I could take, not try and find a certain year transmission that has zero availability. Pretty much any transmission that was bolted up to a sbc will bolt right up to an ls. This isn't my first rodeo on bolting an older trans to an ls, I have done it several times, but they were autos, and just required a spacer to place the torque converter correctly.

@@Steel-Gunner yeah all I've ever seen is people put a collar/spacer on the input shaft

Also, the nbs trucks had a different 3500 than the pre 99s did. Completely different slaves and cases

@RogueKnight33 Good information to know, I appreciate any extra knowledge I can get

I used to pay right around 1k from benzforce. They stopped doing them for a while, not sure if they started back up, but I'm sure it's over 2k now with everyone else. MBZ parts offers m pumps , I believe they are a little over 2k

Thanks for the kind words and the info. Good to know it should hold up. I have a little over 1,000 miles on the swap now and it's doing awesome. I will be making another video here soon

So far the nv3500 from a 92 3/4 chevy is holding up great. An nv4500 is a sure shot but, very large, very heavy, and pretty low geared. I think the nv3500 is a good fit as long as your not dumping the clutch or doing crazy stuff

@@Steel-Gunner thanks! I definitely want to build something that will withstand some abuse! Nice build!!

@@justyce1849 thanks!

It depends on what transmission you use and how much your sourced engine costs. I typically find om617's here in Ohio around $1200-$1500. Doomsday diesel usually costs around that for a transmission adapter kit. A safe assumption would probably be $3k - $4k

I have seen a couple people who have done it. The only issues are, it's not an easy nor cheap swap, and it will wear it out very quickly. The turbo model has oil squirters, sodium filled valves, nitrogen hardened crank, and a better injection pump, all which the non turbo lack. You would also have to swap the exhaust and intake manifold to accept a turbo. You then have to make an oil feed line for the turbo, then find a way to make an oil return to the pan. Your much better off getting a factory turbo model, but I always say go for it if it's what you want to do, it is possible.

Unfortunately, a 241j transfer case is a different bolt pattern, and input shafts are different lengths. I could have had an adapter made, which would cost me $600, plus having to switch out input shafts. The 241c transfer case come with the transmission and cost me nothing. If I choose to do a slip yoke eliminator kit, and i may in the future, you can purchase a slip yoke eliminator kit for just over $200 for the 241c.

I typically start to pick up descent boost at around 2200- 2400 rpm with an hx30

Thank you! I'm a big fan of 617 swaps and will continue to do them. However, this particular jeep I chose an ls for traveling with my family. Less diesel exhaust fumes, more top end power for pulling our large boat in the mountains of Tennessee, ect.. I will be swapping a 617 into another 4 door eventually.

To be honest you will be hard pressed to find an om606 for any where near a descent price here in the US. I have been looking for one for a future project for 4 years now. I have yet to find one less than $3800. The 617s, if you watch fb marketplace closely, I see them show up multiple times a year for $800-$1200. I actually traded a $500 item for a running driving 300d a few years back. They are becoming harder to find, but keep your eyes peeled

Thanks man I will keep my eyes open and try to find something I am wanting to swap out my jkur motor for a mechanical diesel Thanks again and enjoy the power of the LS 6.0

I purchased ict billet relocation brackets. I can go back and grab part numbers for you if you want that exact setup

Thanks brother!

Thanks brother

Awesome! Thanks for the encouraging words! I tried to find a link but can not find it online. I know I purchased them from bruiser conversions for around $450 in 2021. I'm assuming they still sell them. I do need to do a parts list break down , I may do a full video on that. I would highly recommend it, it's a great upgrade from the 3.8 and 3.6

I considered it in the beginning, but honestly the ls has alot more advantages over the hemi. One of the biggest factors is that the hemi would have cost me a good bit more money. I know they are notorious for cam and lifter failure, which concerns me also. The ls world has a lot more aftermarket support over the hemi, and in my opinion, I have never heard a hemi that sounded as good as a well tuned ls. I know my setup cost less than the hemi and makes a good bit more power. I would have had to do cutting and welding on my frame as well. I have nothing against a hemi, the ls was just a better choice in my situation.

Awesome! Thanks for the subscribe and encouraging words! I'm glad my videos can be of some help 🙂

I just put a small block off plate in the place if the metal pipe and clamp it on. I believe you can buy a kit from doomsday

Yes, connecting rods are stock. These engines are very strong on stock internals

Yes I always use the factory water pumps, I don't recall the necks being really long though. Maybe stick out a few inches

@Steel-Gunner there is a pump from late 60's Mercedes that also fit, which are about 30mm/1.25" shorter. That's what I used on my swap but I had to rebuild the pulley with that shorter offset

@@tanner3801 interesting, that's good to know. I appreciate the information

I actually used an aftermarket tach from autometer. They bolt to your alternator

Yes, has been Rebuilt with 7.5 diesel meken upgrades

I have run an intercooler and it is a pretty noticeable power difference. I haven't run mine on a dyno yet, but plan to in the future. I don't think the n/a manifold flows better, however it works much better for hook up if your running an intercooler
