My Official OM617 Toyota Pickup Repower Thread
Howdy folks.
My title pretty much sums it up. I've swapped an OM617 into a 1990 Toyota pickup. This thread is where I'll post what I've done to date, current updates, photos, answer questions, etc. Hopefully help someone else along the way!
I bought the truck as a basket case, with the infamous 3.0 V6 in "rebuilt" condition in the bed of the truck. After many trials and tribulations above and beyond a simple motor install, I got it done. It ran beautifully for about 30 seconds before throwing a rod. Last time I ever trust someone else's engine rebuild.
It was diesel time.
