[diesel_mercedes] OM617 Conversions

 

This is an idea that just won't go away and Tom & I keep thinking & talking about converting his old '79 Dodge D200 truck .

I found this interesting site that has many Diesel conversion ideas including Mercedes : http://www.dieselbombers.com/diesel-engine-conversions/

Probably worth bookmarking this site as you're allowed to look in and read the articles without joining , it's free to join anyway .

I'm no fabricator and was poking around looking for a So. Cal. shop , maybe a 4X4 shop that could do this , we only need a 2WD conversion to make his nice old truck a killer camper / traveling rig again .

It's 40* F out , Brrrrr.......

[diesel_mercedes] 1982 Mercedes Diesel 190D 2.5

 

This could possibly be my next Mercedes Diesel.  The ad says it's a 1982, but it's a 1987.  It won't upshift past 2nd gear even after changing the tranny.  I'm betting on the kick-down switch under the accelerator/loud/Diesel pedal.  It should be a fun project for me.  The seller is bringing it out to my house since he's just a few miles away.  It's definitely worth $1000.  We'll see whether it's a keeper or not.
