lots of interest over on peach parts.:popcorn:

I'm putting an OM616 into my ranger as soon as we get snow this winter. not sure if I will buy a kit for the smallblock ford bellhousing and put in a T5 or use the stock 4spd manual and all MB parts. trying to keep mine as light as possible and 2wd for summer commuting only> occasional use by my wife to haul the monkees around:icon_thumby:

oilburners has a MB diesel section too. keep at it, its a very cool way to run a ranger!:beer:

You could also use the Benz flywheel and bell, then mate the T5 to it.

I am me said:
Here's what I've learned I'll need to do, feel free to add on.
Notch oil pan
Lift the truck, possible body lift
Remove the Ranger fuel pump and put a filter in place of it
Use 5/16 hydraulic line for the fuel return
Remove vapor return check valves and replace hard-line that goes to the bottom of the tank for fuel return
Possibly add a larger alternator
Use Mercedes oil cooler
Possibly need electric cooling fan
Push button for glow plug
Switch for fan if electric used

Dumb question but why would you need to lift the ranger? the oil pan?
