1983 4D55! My first diesel.

Decent oil cooler and crank out the fuel screw a couple turns should keep it cool

Sounds like a fun project! Glad to see a motivated diesel owner joining the forums. Got any pics?? I'm really curious to see the fit of the 32's.

The 83's are good because they had an injection pump that could be modified (apparently your's has been already). Only downside is that the injectors are unique to 83' and real difficult to find (ask me how I know...).

I'm running an all aluminum radiator that is meant for the 2.0 liter gas engines. It's been keeping everything at very nice consistent temperatures. I'm running a front mount starion intercooler. With the little turbo there's a fair amount of lag, but it still boosts just fine.

I recommend an EGT gauge pretty early on, especially if you're planning to have fun with it. I turned my fuel screw up a little and popped the head gasket the next day... I love these engines and will continue to recommend them, just ease into the mods and keep an eye on temps.
