  1. Got some shop time in yesterday for some much needed motor mount replacements. Since this is a driving project we decided to eliminate a few things that in our area aren't needed.

    Removed the entire A/C system and cruise control components.

    These have been added to the removal of the previously removed mechanical vacuum pump, EGR plumbing and oil bath air flitration.

    Simplifying actually makes for an improvement.

  2. Miles, you are correct that the euro lamp assembly will be in conflict with the stock oil bath air filtration unit on the right side.

    Also the early quad headlamp setup doesn't have the appropriate parts to directly install these assemblies ether, so additional parts are needed.

    The euro lamps in my opinion don't look well with the early recessed grill as opposed to the newer style flush face style.

    If you are OK with loosing the oil bath filtration and going with a different approach, you can doing something similar to what I've done with one our TD's.

  3. Joe, I've experimented with the last round of electric vacuum pumps and have settled for the self regulated GM unit. It currently resides where the oil bath air filtering bowl was located and the remaining space is used for the new updraft air filtering. The GM pump is small enough to tuck behind the left front headlamp assemble and my vacuum reserve reservoir as I may move it to that location.. Noticeable quieter without the mechanical pump and there has to be a measurable gain in horse power, even if it is calculated LOL

    I removed all the non functioning egr vacuum equipment too. A lot less clutter so far and continue to experiment with crankcase ventilation.

    Haven't had any ill incidents running it this way for 700 or so miles in my mild climate area, The single largest advantage these diesels have with the 5 speed verses the automatic is running temperature. Much cooler without the automatic sharing the already limited cooling capacity.

    Having fun with ours, turbo lag is reduced and whistles a much happier tune over our completely stock twin to this one.
