As a mechanic by trade I do not appreciate projects I'm not paid for. I've had a water pump in the back seat of my truck for over a year. But this is rad. Great work

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".

As someone that lives in pa, how have I not heard of you?? Just bought a xj and debating on swapping the engine next year and ran into this. Gonna bindge your channel now

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.

Or a om606 swap to a mechanical injection pump and boom all you need is power to make her run

Do you have info on the ARP head stud kit? I am putting an OM617 in a 05 wrangler.

Would it be ok to run mt80 if I’m in a colder climate since it’s just 75w80 I think instead of 75w90

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.

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

Hello I'm trying to swap my two door xj at the moment is there any way you can help me I'm just a few states over and could bring it down. I can't find anyone local to help me

Hello, what kind of engine is it. I know it’s a diesel who makes it?

Oh don't mind me, just watching videos, trying to hype myself up for an OM352 turbo swap in my silverado 2500 😆

Insightful.

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.

Not the weight but aerodynamics will hurt the mpg

Towing weight?

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.
