Sounds like you might have a runout issue. Know what the runout measurement is on your adapter? Also is it doweled?

I wasent going to put a custom bumper on this thing but I need to increase the intercooler size and I would like it out front to make it more efficient and give it some more clearance. So today I fired up the old amazon CAD program and made some templates. There are absolutely zero affordable...

Nice truck. Love the coilover swap.

Not much of a overlanding update but winter is coming so i finally hooked up my glow plugs. They really are not needed till it gets in the low 30s. Made a harness and using a 5 pin relay. Also installed some cheap but effective helper shocks a while back. The spring is supposed to add about...

Yea I thought of doing somthing to that effect but will carry a ton of stuff (My wife is literally from timbuktu so she preps for everything and anything) and will need somthing higher than the top of the bed.

Very clean swap for sure. looks great. Did you consider a diesel swap at all?

So I need some help compiling ideas on a bed topper for this truck. Requirements are it has to stay open for daily duty so a shell is out of the question. Not sure I could find a cheap one anyway. I was thinking somthing along the lines of raising the bed bars up to the roofline and tying...

I caint imagine not having a garage do do a swap or an illness that would debilitate my hands. you have done well picking up a already swapped 617. It would be a long road trip but if we ever made it out that far for sure would have to meet up.

Stock 3.55 for now will be going to 4.56 or 4.88. Tires are 265/70 r17 so about 31.6" the little TDi will spin to 5K but is happy cruising at hwy speeds north of 2500rpm. Right now with the .73 5th gear I caint even use it at all . Yea this gear swap will cost me about half of what i...

I like watching those dirt everyday type shows they are good fun and not sure why we havent more TDi swaps These ALH motors are cheap and the common rail motors can be had for not much more. Yea its the stock 121 ecu I had it tuned by Malone. Back in the day i would have tuned it myself but...

Amen brother. Hard to beat a diesel swap especially in a jeep.

Its not a stock ALH. Has r520 injectors and a BV43a turbo. Enough for 350ft lbs. more grunt than the 4.7 that came out of it for sure.

Hi all this will be a slow update thread but thought I would start a to compile ideas and get input other than my usual lurk method. The short story is I needed a 4 door truck to haul the family for trips and daily drive for work while getting good fuel mileage. Budget was too tight for a...

What Motor mounts will you use? Lock tight every bolt on that timing cover too. I might be saying 4bt stuff you already know. Cool build you just doubled the torque and fuel mileage.

Stumbled into this web site looking for some ideas for the family truck/daily. Apparently Im building an "Overland" truck. I had no idea! We have a 2001 Dakota QC 5 speed with a ALH diesel. Anyway there are some great builds here to spawn ideas. Hoping to learn a few things too.
