I've READ that if you take the time to balance the bottom end of a 4bt and install liquid engine mounts that it makes for a much more comfortable motor. Again...i've not seen this first hand.
my SBC is loud in a 40! a 40 rolling down hill with mud tyres and engine off is loud!!!
I did some reading on the OM606. Seems that the 606 will have the same issues as the 617 for performance gains. Will need a euro spec IP and then rebuilt to the tune of some 2K and some change for longer/larger plungers. Then for even better performance custom built intake and exhaust manifolds.
I'm thinking just a OM617 with an HY35, intercooler, max out the injector screw and 3" mandrel exhaust and call it day...just watch the pyro.

what size tires are you running as I agree...65 tops in a 40...unless you are on an episode of jackass
Made me lol. ha ha
Your not going to understand the loud comments on a 4BT until you've spent all day on the trail behind one, or worse yet in a rig with one. Super LOUD! That's coming from a guy with a stinky, loud, diesel Pig ... Dave's is in an 80 which almost helps. I'm running 33x10.50s on my FJ55 ...
