92 Jeep Wrangler YJ 32RH automatic trans conversion to Mercedes OM617 diesel swap
Here is the start of our daughters 1992 Jeep wrangler automatic trans and 4.0L engine swap. We are putting in a 1984 OM617 Mercedes turbo diesel engine. It's taking longer because of changing paint color at the same time. After a lot of research this seemed like the easiest automatic transmission for Jeeps to convert to diesel (fully hydraulic). Here are some pics of our progress, and we will have more pics at following link Jeep Wrangler Diesel Conversion Project by end of week.
Hope to have a test drive this week....

Hey I am doing the same swap with an OM 617.951 into my 89 YJ with AT. Unfortunately, the motor arrived missing all external vacuum system pieces. From looking at diagrams it appears some of the vacuum system on the OM617 is for the M transmission...
What vacuum lines did you end up having? I dont need emissions, so I would like to make it as simple as possible... Any help is much appreciated...
