Mike50, did you get yours from Clark Field also? What diesel engine did you swap it with?

Mice to know I'm not the only one around this part of the world.

truck entered via subic port according to the paper trail.....4d56 turbo diesel. no intercooler.

Too bad we never got the 4d56 over here. I got the 4d55 turbo diesel in mine but it' has really good torque. It was a factory conversion. Still has the sticker under the hood for the conversion information. Used to be a 2.6L gas engine.

my question/etc over here might be out of place but i'll ask anyway....TT, is the overdrive still alive on your rig? couldnt get mine to overdrive. replaced the od off lamp a while ago but no place to test the overdrive. there's too much traffic over here. pennyman suggested grounding a wire at the base of the carb but i cant seem to figure out which wire was that under the hood. got a thread on the 1st gen mighty max....former horse on mine was also the 2.6 g54b.

By overdrive you mean 5th gear? Mine is a 5 speed manual and it works fine.
