[@AlfonsLC]

Wow. Really. Thanks.

[@AlfonsLC]

Happy new year everyone. i spent my new years finishing this video up. If you never left a comment. id Love to hear from you. let me know how you think it went. what you think of our build. what do you like ? what would you have done different !?! Anything you want to see this jeep doing in future videos ?

JOB WELL DONE GUYS. Cant wait for the next project!!

[@stunter956]

I started video 1 at around 12am and finished at 4am exactly. I binged watched this series and i couldnt be happier man. Congratulations on the build and Kirk is one hell of a friend. Im currently finishing up a 2001 land rover discovery with an OM602 5 cyl turbo diesel. I can definitely agree that there is alot of work needed but in the end hopefully itll all pay off. Again congrats and keep up the good work 👍👍

[@AlfonsLC]

Wow. Thats so great. Im texting you from the steering wheel of the jeep. Love this thing. Keep going you will love it.

[@gazzafloss]

Alfons, hi from Australia, watched your whole Jeep/Merc diesel swap series yesterday. Really enjoyed the whole thing, the banter between you and your mate Kurt reminds me of a friend of mine and the work relationship we have working on LandRover projects here in our little Far North remote country town, we're a bit older than you guys, (70 years and 78 years), but we have that, argumentative, have fun, pay each other out interplay friendship, you and Kurt look to have. I'll be watching for more builds.

[@AlfonsLC]

Wow. Thanks for the binge watch. Really means allot. And thanks for letting me know ! We are going to do another project in the spring.

[@vojin2961]

Hii bro, awesome project, i have Yj 89 and i put mercedes diesel engine 3.0 and i feel that i have power, but speed is suck, and on hill it is going really sloww, did u change something from transmission?

[@AlfonsLC]

Nope. Mine does fine. But you cant drive it like a gas engine. You have to have the turbo spooled up before the hill and keep it spooled up. It walks up every hill that way. Its like driving a kenworth RMP is everything.

[@blakebailey852]

I found a TJ with the same motor, but long arms and it’s a little rusty underneath, everything else is fine though. It’s being sold for $7,000 what do y’all think

[@AlfonsLC]

I’d have to see it more closely. And you really need to check the engine for blow by and other problems before you buy anything. They can be an expensive repair. If everything is in order that seems like a bargain. And that’s what makes me suspicious. I would love to crawl around Anita and look at it for you

[@mattgreen8530]

I love your guys build and am gonna use a lot of info as I am doing the same.. I have couple questions.. what did u do for fuel system did u utilize fuel pump .. and can u explain what u did for the wiring and all the old stuff

[@AlfonsLC]

Thanks. I am only using the stock lift pump on the om617 and the line to the tank. Works fine. I have a video up where i had to rebuild that pump. The old wiring is still there. Never touched it. Except the temp gauge i redid. In a upcoming video ill show that.

[@larryalexander4833]

Enjoyed this greatly ! Thanks to both of you. I have a 88 yj I'm working on as I can get the funds .

Thanks so much for checking in and letting me know. The series was allot fo work to make. We will be doing more builds in the near future and other odds and ends.

[@dan0nym0us66]

Nice job with the transplant and also with the video series! So if you could do it all over again, would you stick with the Mercedes or go another route?

[@AlfonsLC]

So far. Im glad i went with the mercedes. I love the engine the jeep has more power and is way more efficient. The trouble will come when it needs parts. Many are discontinued. But so far so good. Wouldn’t change it. Ive been super busy of late. But there much more to come on how this engine performs. I just have to make the time to edit the videos.

[@ferreestudios]

This video was very fun to watch Alfons and Kurt have real comical chemistry, and as usual Al's insightful commentaries and reflective sentiments make this another great video.

Thank you very much. I have to ask what is so off putting to you ??

[@stevenkeeffe9137]

Alfons, just finished watching all 10 videos. I must say, Kirk is my spirit animal, lol. I started a conversion in 2003, in early 2004 we got the OM617 into a Jeep Comanche and it was my daily driver until Katrina in 2005 (it saltwater flooded, but I still have it). To watch you go through the process made me appreciate the time I spent with my buddy doing the conversion. It really is an adventure. I'd love to see my buddy and Kirk in the same shop (might be a fight between Kirk's chickens and my buddy's cats, all else otherwise similar, lol).

[@AlfonsLC]

Amazing to hear. It was a very amazing journey that i am so proud to have taken with my weirdo friend kirk. He really is the best guy i know. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave this comment. It makes my day

[@stevenkeeffe9137]

@@AlfonsLC Have you found the OM617 Swaps FB page yet? Good group of folks from around the globe in there sharing info and some guys making their own products just for the swaps.

[@AlfonsLC]

Well. I put 10k miles on it over the summer. I parked it in tbe winter. No salt for this jeep anymore. Cant wait to be driving it again. Its better jeeping than i ever had. And gonna get better. Thanks for checking it out. Hope yours goes as well.

@@AlfonsLC cant afford to own something and not drive it. MUST be functional daily. Thus rusty tub being replaced with less rusty tub and encased in bedliner (durabak) No air on metal... no rust. chassis... guess Ill have to go shooting waste oil etc. on it or something prior to winter.

A Guy Named Alfons I would look more for a early 2000s Dodge Ram the trans and t-case out of those are notorious for being strong should be the nv 3500 or 4500 either will last you the lifetime of that jeep

[@AlfonsLC]

Jake Lebarron I will look into that when the time comes. So far is doing very good and having no trouble. I am not saying you are wrong and I think that it will eventually have problems. But it doesn’t right now so I’m not fixing what isn’t broken

[@dozer1642]

That AX5 will break. It’s not a matter of if, but when.

[@Juan_Doooh]

I just watched the entire series. I’ve been eyeballing a Jeep carcass (literally) daily on the way to work. The idea of building a diesel Jeep has been something I’ve wanted to do for years. From what I can see of this Jeep its a raw frame and tub, I don’t even know if it has a floor. Part of me is screaming perfect project, and part of me is saying money pit!

[@AlfonsLC]

Wow thanks. Thats so awesome. Youre right on both !! Its worth the money and time. I love mine. Just make sure you get an engine that doesn’t need a rear main seal !

[@larrymiller4]

Enjoyed this immensely. In the back of your mind, there's got to be some things you overlooked, but hey, it's done -- mostly. This Kirk ... man, what a character. What I don't get is how you'd go to him before some Merc specialist or conversion shop. Just looking at Kirk's shop ... not exactly a "detail" kinda guy. endearing and maddening at the same time. But that's all part of the fun, the experience. I am purchasing a 2008 Jeep Commander and saving my social-distancing pennies for a Cummins 2.8 Crate conversion aimed at fire-road exploring, greenlane travel and camping. I have to tell you, that M-B 5-cyl. was a great choice and such a good deal. The sound of it is truly bad-ass!

[@AlfonsLC]

Thanks very much. There are a few things to button up. Still trying to make things work without having to buy parts or more kits. What do you think we missed ? I went to him. Because he was the man for the job. Hes resourceful and had what it took to get it done. With research help and making the plan from me. That sounds like a great project. You should make some videos of the build. Id love yo watch. But that stuff is out of my price range. Another good reason for kirk. We will build a camper van in the future also. Should be fun. Anyway. Let me know and thanks !

[@wes11bravo]

Excellent series. Very well put together, Al. Looking forward to Kirk's Jeep build.

[@AlfonsLC]

Thanks so much. Trying to get kirk on something is like herding squirrels. But we will get there.

[@Alice..M]

Loved the series what do you think total cost on this build was?

[@AlfonsLC]

Thanks for checking it out. With us doing all the work it was about 3k -3500. Including a 1400$ rough country lift and new unnecessary fuel tank.

[@sweetwilliam61841]

I so enjoyed watching this build..and it came out awesome...but the very best thing was seeing the friend you have in Kirk he is one of those rare oldschool mechanics and fabricators that rightfully hates the metric system as much as I do, can find his way past any problem eventually and laugh at you and himself. You are most lucky to be able to call him friend. Good job men.

[@AlfonsLC]

Thank you. Amazing compliments. The best thing about being lucky is knowing how lucky you are. Kirk has got me through some dark times in life. And we have fun the whole time. I always pass these along to kirk. As he cant use the internet. I love the metric system !! Haha. Makes sense to my euro brain. We are going to do more stuff together in the near future.

[@PlasticAstronaut]

Badass. Huge accomplishment! Congrats Al and Kirk, and happy new year. Throw a plow on that monster and earn a few extra bucks this winter.

[@AlfonsLC]

Thank you ! This jeep has seen its last salty road. Too worried about my frame. Ill touch it up every year as long as i have it. I have a quad for that.

[@uncle5040]

This build has inspired me to continue with my Merc OM617 turbo into my CJ7. Like Kirk, I was more of a GM guy, and my last CJ had a tuned 4-bolt 350 with Holley 650 double pumper, but it was how many gallons per mile. The cost benefit of the Mercedes over the 4bt is also proven. While we aren't entirely the first pioneers of diesel swaps, I know it takes time and Kirk-ability to think outside the box for the needed workarounds. God bless you both for sticking with it, and posting.

[@AlfonsLC]

Thank you so much. Kirk is skeptical that the fuel milage will be any good. Im going to defiantly so a test of it come summer. I hears of people getting 25 mpg with this. Kirk says no way. Not ever. We will see soon enough.

[@eduportillo]

@@AlfonsLC I think that should be al least 30 mpg, the Jeep isn't heavy.... 4 banger differential ratio help's a lot, just keep the wheels at original size and Will be fine....

[@josephsamsor1698]

I was just searching around on KZbin for some builds to see if I should do the swap I’m thinking about and I think this vid sold me on it. My dad has this 1963 gmc 1500 I tried fixing last summer (turns out unseizing it was not worth it since it also rodknocked like nothing else) and also a grey market 87 Mercedes in horrible condition other than mechanical (I think it should be an om603). I was throwing around the idea of putting the entire drive train from the Mercedes with the auto trans into the gmc to make a decent running truck. I was worried it would be too weak but with a turbo it should be more than enough for what I want, seeing how this thing drives. I just saw the manual shut off as well, and that was the exact thing my dad was saying he wanted 😂. I’m going to watch the whole build series through and see if it’s viable for me. Awesome build.

[@AlfonsLC]

Wow thanks. Love comments like this. I got some flak for the manual shut off. But i love it. Keep in mind our build had allot of custom upgrades or extras. Like the exhaust. Alternator and shutoff. That we didnt Need to so. But we liked better. Thanks man. Let me know what you think as you watch. I love to hear from people.

[@josephsamsor1698]

A Guy Named Alfons that manual shut off definitely beats my dad’s option. Idk what exactly went wrong, but one day (back when he drove the 300d back and forth between Arizona and California, running on raw cooking oil with broken radiator fans), the thing wouldn’t shut off when he turned key to the off position. His solution was pinching some vacuum line or something in the engine bay every time he needed to shut it off. I thought it was just another sign that this thing was invincible and never going to die. I personally think the manual shut off you installed is cool and adds character. I’d like it so that on winter mornings, I can just turn on the truck, lock the door, and let it heat up while being a bit more secure than just leaving it completely unattended with unlocked doors and the keys in the ignition. I’ll definitely take the information from this series into consideration but hopefully, it should go a bit more smoothly since this engine currently doesn’t leak from anywhere, and I’m using the transmission it has. I just have to measure it all out this weekend, see how viable it is, and get a game plan going.

[@AlfonsLC]

Well. Im not sure. But your trans may require vacuum. I have and wanted a few open lines from the pump to use for the 4x4. Im going to hook it up in a future video. When i get the jeep trial ready with new tires flares and a working 4x4 system. Im glad someone likes the shut off and the way we did it. Thrilled. First compliment i got on it and we were cery proud making it and designing the throttle and shut off adapter.

[@ThaRealBigHoss]

God damn, y'all got me wanting to do this

[@AlfonsLC]

I think for me. It was the more difficult and costly because i start with an all stock jeep. Needed lifting. Also. The engine leaks we wanted fixed. If you start out lifted you will have a much easier time. Engine fitment is toughest ! Thanks for checking in !
