Sorry for the new thread but i can't find this by searching on tapatalk. Isn't someone here swapping a Mercedes 606 diesel and tranny into their FSJ?
Anyone have a link?
Please.
Thanks sir. That thread i know about, this one was an OM606. Maybe I'm thinking of a scrambler build... or just getting old and can't remember stuff anymore. Lol
From the CJ8 build, this seems like a critical little piece of knowledge:
"After extensive search I found out that european jeep WJ grandcherokee diesel 2001-2005 had mercedes automatic transmission with jeep bolt pattern to transfercase. So this gearbox should fit the om606 engine since the 2,7 crr in the jeep has same bolt pattern as the om606 block."
Were there diesel WJ's in the US? I seem to recall a run of diesel Grand Cherokees before the last 2 body styles, but may be wrong. May be a solution though.
I looked at MB engines briefly as I have been considering a swap for my GW. The new Eco diesel is unobtainium as far as price and all the computer stuff to go with it. I hope to learn from your endeavors..
DISCLAIMER: Ihaven't gotten through his build to see if it actually worked.
One day I will wake up and realize that my jeep is complete...one day, I just know it.
