As an engineer with multiple trade certificates, I concur.....it annoys the sht out of my wife. Wife: "Take it somewhere or pay someone to do it", Me: "No, I can do it myself I'm not going to take it to someone else", Wife: "Then why haven't you done it yet, you've had plenty of time", Me: "Shit, I'm not getting paid for it".

Been studying hard on whether to tdi swap my 4 runner, or buy a zr2 Duramax Colorado.... Both have great plus sides, and great downsides 😢 I've done a few large diesel swaps, never messed with the small tdis other than maintaining my car.

Food for thought, two really good options to look into for a Jeep engine swap. First, Golen Engine's 4.6L Jeep Stroker engine. Second, Cummin's R2.8 diesel crate engine.

Is the OM612 from a sprinter a similar swap as the OM617? There are more sprinter engines available compared to 300d engines…

I've been thinking about doing this to my cherokee, one thing I've been wondering is what kind of fuel mileage do you get? I used to have a diesel Mercedes car and it got almost 40mpg, the cherokee can't be a huge amount heavier then the 5,400lbs Mercedes.

you did a lot of mods that don't have to be done if just using a stock motor, yes, the swap can be done for 5k or less if self-done, don't need intercooler , special pump or bigger turbo those are extra expenses, want more power in the back of the pump turn up the screw want even more power propane injection , in my 300sd i made a water bubbler( the liquid it bubbles is a secret) and i have tons of power for a couples of bucks

@@intimidate45 in the long run the Mercedes is the way to go. The 4bt is heavy and parts are expensive as well. The Mercedes has different engines to choose from and like stated, the 4by will rattle the jeep apart, kill the suspension and the noise will eventually get to you. Now a Cummins 2.8 or 3.8 is an option.
