Your rpms are a little higher than the 3.4 at 60 not much and your getting 10+ mpg better and it whistles when you want it too I’d say it’s a win

Dope video bruh. I am currently looking at the OM617 for the used oil purposes. I have a ranger, they said there no way to RHD swap a ranger on a stock firewall so I DID THE SWAP JUST TO PROVE PPL WRONG. NOW IM GONNA SWAP OUT THE 4.0 FOR A OM617, JUST FOR EXTRA SALT IN THOSE "YOU CANT DO THAT PPL"

I'd love to hear a check in on your injection pump and fueling system in general, a couple years on. Did you run a lot of high % veg fuel? 50% is a dramatic amount in my experience, and i'm eager to hear what your experience was. I find mixing diesel, old gas, veg oil, and anything else i think should work does do Alright so long as it's mostly diesel and very much less distillates compared to other additives.

I can't begin to stress the importance of builds like this one. It's different, and different in a sea of "same thing everyone else is doing" is remarkable in itself. "It can't be done" is only true until someone does it- and it WORKS. I like it!

Yeah, it's not a Cummins, it doesn't have gobs and gobs of torque or anything like that. It has good enough power. It has 90's V6 power. I'd guess around 150hp tire and maybe 230 ft/lbs

Nice work! Boy i wish i could pick your brain! Currently putting a non turbo om617 in an isuzu rodeo. Bought the engine on eBay and it was Per pretty much complete, 52k miles. I didn't know what all i needed with it though so i don't have an oil cooler, shutoff solenoid, glow plug relay or any clue how everything was hooked up. First time messing with a diesel also. Got the manual trans adapted and I'm working on engine mounts now. I did fire it up and its strong. Need to convert the belt to 6 groove, can i ask how you did it? What are the pullies from? Looks like a doomsday diesel set up. My ac/alternator need to stay in stock locations or I'd use his brackets but I'm wondering if anyone has been able to find stock pullies from diff models that will bolt up.. Anyway, tight work!
@TheDrivewayEngineer
@TheDrivewayEngineer 2 жыл бұрын
I don't have an oil cooler. A glow plug solenoid can be anything, a lot of people use 7.3 Powerstroke ones. The brackets are Doomsday, the water pump pulley is Doomsday, the idler is a 6.5 Chevy diesel, the alternator is stock LS, and the power steering pump is Jeep Cherokee with a Trail Gear pulley.
