Thanks Pete!! Glad to be back around!! I can and will once I get all my photos, videos, etc. gathered into one place and back track a little lol. Just curious, who are you on the OM617 Swaps page? To answer your question, I'm at about $4k ± a hundred. Isn't cheap, but it is fun. Biggest two expenses, after getting the stock engine up and running, was the upgraded injection pump and the turbo. I bought a Dieselmeken 7.5mm pump from Göran in Sweden (~$1100 USD) and a gently used genuine Holset Hx30W (~$450).- 80 replies

Boy has it been a long time since an update here or what?! The advent of Facebook has taken its toll on forums and unfortunately, I've been an unsuspecting victim for too long, so without further ado, I give you fine folks of CC a much needed update. The truck has seen a lot of change in the last year. It started with the rabbit hole of YouTube, and the next thing I know, I'm out searching CL for a Mercedes engine. Not just any Mercedes engine, though, but the infamous 5-cylinder OM617 Turbo Diesel! I found one that a guy was pulling from a wrecked 1983 300D W123 Sedan, and got it for- 80 replies

I run a Spartan rear locker on my XJ. 4.10 C8.25. Has great road manners. Sharp turns, and you'll hear it clicking (which is normal). I run 75W-140 gear oil to help quiet it down some.

One issue I've noticed is that I'm not getting notifications when someone replies to a thread I follow or have posted on... Is that something others have experienced thus far?

Yea, I did what Ωhm did and just popped the factory connector out to rotate it 180°.

I'd like to start off by saying, that despite the fact I haven't really been as active here as I once used to be, I still admire this forum, and its mission, greatly.

Forums, for me especially, have been a huge contributor to my learning abo
