Incass not already mentiond. Same symptom happened to mine after all cooling components replaced, turned out problem was overly concentrated coolant mixture. Went through everything and was stumped. Finally decided to check concentration using hydrometer to find out it was a little over...

Put a 255 85 16 as a spare which is also equivalent to 33". Will add 30mm more clearance off the ground than the 285 75 16.

If still available, I would like to purchase. Just let me know your availability. Thanks.

All of you have good points. Since I am far into this I will just complete it. I guess problem is this swap is not popular here. Overseas the Mercedes OM606 Mechanical and the BMW M57 Electronic is the majority used in swaps due to cost and availability. BMW M57 is even used in new...

Thanks, definitely need it. My brother and cousin will be doing the same and I talked them into it. Another concern is making it emissions legal, may have to add out of state property added to budget. Should of got a 94 or earlier so I wouldn't have to have an OBD for OBD compliant swap since...

Thanks I was leaning towards that but they don't respond to their online inquiries. I will just try to call them instead.

All that I don't know, only that the NA version is155lbs ft at 2200RPM and turbo version is 243lbs ft at 1600RPM both redlines at 5000RPMs. Compression Ratio is 25:1 NA and 22:1 turbo, pretty high for a diesel. Before I keep going, I just wanted to mention it's great that we go back and...

I totally agree and yes this is my first time swapping a diesel motor inplace. When I inquired about the application, low end torque, drivability, and fuel consumption was my main concern, that's where the 500HP limit came especially with a single turbo and automatic. I am just doing what...

All in I don't even think I will spend 15K. Problem is sourcing the parts, especially the rear sump oil pan/pump that comes from OM648, worse case they are everywhere overseas. On hand I already have the motor, A343F/A442F transmission adapter kit, and motor mount adapters. Just waiting on...

All day long!

I am in the process of doing hopefully a 500HP+ mechanically injected Mercedes Benz OM606 Turbo Diesel swap into my 80 Series just curious what transmission controller are you all using for your A343F/A442F that left it in place? At first I was thinking to use the 6L80E because of its low first...

The first 2 sets took 9 months, that was during Covid, early 2021 ordered. Didn't receive till October or November if I recall.

Same on my past orders. I also have another 2 front and 2 rear on order since December 2021.

Just PM me then.

Sorry for just responding, I did not get notified of post. Will not work with my Alu-Cab RTT mounting brackets without doubling crossbar or filing side rails.
