I am looking for a M116 engine and trans. A 380SEL would be ideal. a 420SEL would be even better. (Gen II 126, more HP) I think I could make the M117 from a 500SEL or a 560SEL work. The reason I am looking for the long body is because I think I could take one of my spare OM603 engines

Re: [MBZ] OM606 in W126 300SDL

I agree. A 4BT rattles and shakes and makes a lot of noise. It is much heavier than the gas engine the trucks came with. A 6 bt is bigger and heavier, and the new ones are more refined, but it is too heavy for half or 3/4 ton peekups. A 6 BT might work in a 1 ton, but for 1.5 or 2 ton,

Re: [MBZ] OM606 in W126 300SDL

I've never been so excited about driving big truck engines in passenger type vehicles. The only 6BT I drove was an '01 24 valve and it had nothing on an MB or VW diesel. Gearing decides where you rev to. For a 1 ton truck the 6BT is probably the best choice but for something smaller like a 1/2

Re: [MBZ] OM606 in W126 300SDL

They don't have much torque until they rev. A 4bt is much easier and cheaper to fit and tune in any sort of truck here in the us. On Nov 27, 2016 11:39 AM, "Curley McLain via Mercedes" < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Agreed. Using an OM603 or an OM606 to convert any vergasser from a 123 > to

Agreed. Using an OM603 or an OM606 to convert any vergasser from a 123 to a pickup truck into a useful car or pickup makes sense to me. If I had a pickup, or a one ton, I'd be looking for an OM606 turbo. Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes November 27, 2016 at 1:15

Slow day today. Seems that the cumulative affects of the week have caught up with me. I am drained. Mild tinkering and clean up stuff so far: Drained PS reservoir, installed new filter and topped off with MB fluid. Old fluid was a little dark, but not bad. It was MB fluid, which is good.

I have tried this and duracool and I just do not like the blends. If you have any sort of leak at all the different elements leak at different rates which changes the mix and it does not cool. You can't simply top it up you have to discharge and start all over. You may not have had a leak leak
