Does the engine bolt right into the current engine mounts?

Impressive build and very functional too. Big props to those that built it.

That’s so badass!! I want a TDI in my 93 Nissan hardbody.

Should try to find a 4.5 Powerstoke and build it for a ranger. I’ve always wanted to if I ever have some play money.

I know i'm late asking but any chance you've got a shot of what wires are actualy running through the 42 pin engine harness connector?

There's still a shit ton of room in there to work on it too. Makes me wish I i still had my old ranger.

Damn I'd love to do this to my 94 Ranger. The 3.slow is very reliable, but man, is it unbearably slow. Maybe after my Volvo sbc motor swap is compete.

Does anyone know if anyone has this in a Nissan frontier? Was thinking of slapping mine with a 4BT (military auction from an old forklift). Any feedback will be welcomed

Just Subscribed to your channel Brother ! Great Build !!!!

I wish i would have thought about this before I pulled my 2.3l engine and tranny for rebuild on my 83 ranger.

What is your mileage agin. And does your cruise control still function ?

Outside America, Ford Ranger already uses diesel engine from Mazda

Very cool! I used to own a 4 cylinder ranger and that thing was crazy underpowered, this should be a monster compared to that. I'm working on a 6BT cummins in an explorer and sometimes I wish I'd kept it simpler with a smaller engine. Your build is certainly cleaner than mine, something to do with having to cut up the body to get things to fit 🤣. Someone else said you were in CO, wanna get a couple white diesel swapped fords together for a video? 🤘 Hit me up if you're interested!

I’d love to buy it off you if you ever sell it.

What are you getting for hp/torque

Hey man I’m in CO. As well! HMU I’d love to meet up with the rangers and talk about the swap. I’ve been trying to do this and yours is the cleanest I’ve seen. I have a 2014 Jetta TDI and a 1998 Ranger so I’ll be running two TDI vehicles when I get the Ranger done.

Mechanic Dave you are an inspo I'm a die hard volkswagen guy with a 3rd gen 4runner and this is completely put me on a path of swapping that unit

Top speed?

The steering wheel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Dude has a stack from a caterpillar loader 🤨😅

I wanna do this swap in my 2011. Let me know the computer, & the transmission please

I hope you built it better than you make videos.

Is that pikes peak in the background?

I wish I could get one in Australia

True

Hey I was wondering where you got the sun visor

Curious would you sell this truck. Old war vet here looking for a small diesel

I bought a ‘90 Chevy a couple months ago and it had those same wheels on it. They drive me crazy and I hate them, I’m trying to sell them right now.

What about a 99 explorer with the 5 speed 4.0 ohv

In Europe, the 2.0TDI does not smoke. (don't smoke :))) ) What did you do to make it emit such nice black smoke?

1g Tacoma, I'm wanting to build a diesel for it, not a street truck, a truck that gets worked tows toys all the time, sometimes tows rangers not gonna lie 🤣

My engine is blown in my 05 I really wanna do this how much you think I should save ? . I have automatic transmission so I’ll probably buy a manual transmission as well to swap that too

So can this set-up pull a small or medium trailer ???

2.0 crankshaft, pnp head/intake manifold, truck specific cam, a powersteering delete (volvo electric pump), and a tune would wake this thing up.

Imagine how it could behave with the 2.5 inline 5 from an Audi 100/A6.

Where is this adapter plate available I’m trying to swap mine!!!!

I fucking want one.

What mpg y'all getting

I’m not ford guy but I like Volkswagen and seeing your truck and the hard work you put in it that’s amazing good job Dave

ooooook sooo who did this and how much???

Love it , does it come in a silenced version?

All due respect I haven't seen this till today, def not ""all over the internet""

How did you mate up the engine to the transmission? I've found very little online about what I can mate to a TDI for rear wheel drive. I'm going to be putting a TDI in a '54 Fargo/Dodge d100!
