Questions for ya, is there a harmonic balancer on your diesel? Also why so few ponies on the rig? it would be pretty cool to have a nice Cummins or something dropped in there...of course, then the suspension would be whammo. But, it'd be sweetness.
No harmonic ballancer as in a rubber ring in the front pulley.
There isn't much for choices in a small 4cyl diesel and this is what I have to work with at the moment.
That would be nice to have all that power, but that would only cause things to brake and would be way too much weight. This engine is half the weight of the cummins and is fine off road.
I will be happy with a little faster acceleration and the ability to get up to hwy speed without having a line form behind me.
