Om617 jeep Comanche swap
I'm swapping the om617 into the Comanche. I would like to upgrade the turbo but I'm not real sure on what turbo or size to go with. I will be running a 3inch straight pipe and would like to turn the fuel up. Thanks for any answers.

Watching!

read up on superturbodiesel.com, they have info on the pump and turbos
|
On the Mercedes car there is a little electric water pump. It connects to the hose for the heater core do you need that for heat to work on the jeep?

Are you sure it's not the heater control valve? Take a picture
|
Done some reading and it is a heater water circulating pump. At this point I'm try to get everything off the car that I might need be for I get rid of it.

So I have got the om617 in the Comanche and trying to start it. I have nothing hooked up vacuum wise do I need any vacuum line hooked up to make it run?
|
you only need vacuum to shut it down electrically if desired , and for power brakes and HVAC if equipped; as far as I know.
you will most likely need glow plugs if it is cold, and a very good battery and cables. have fun |
I'm getting a little fuel at injectors it fired off twice then just dies. I burnt up a jeep starter trying to get it running is there something I'm missing?
|
are you bleeding it? Do you have a unobstructed fuel supply? Did you change fuel filters?
if it is cranking well and it won't run; it is most likely air in the fuel system |
I've been bleeding it changed filters but the lift pump went bad. So I have a electric pump on it at 7 psi is that enough psi? Where can I buy a new lift pump or a rebuild kit?

lift pump at peach parts
|
Got it running.
|
if you don't mind, what was the problem. So others can learn
|
Well a combination of half dead battery and starters going bad. So I replaced both with a optima yellow and a high torque starter. I couldn't turn it over long enough to bleed lines before battery would go dead. So it was like starting over every time I would get enough battery charged. So new battery and starter and in no time she was running.
|
Anybody have any problems with the om617 getting air locked in the cooling system? I'm using the jeep rad. Temp climb to bout 230 but the rad. Is cool to the touch take cap off and antifreeze is cool.
|
The jeep radiator is lower than the front of the engine so you need to burp the air out at the heater core, that usually works.
