Homer has ADD and Depression and has to get away from reality every once in a while. This is where Moab comes in. He has been captivated by the place since the early 1980’s before all the mountain bikers and environazis took it over.
He does not believe in the Global Warming scam as perpetrated on us by politicians. He does beleive in being nice to the earth and is environmentally conscious. Rebuilding old polluting vehicles into modern (efficient) fun toys is more than just a pastime, it is a passion.

Nice blog on the diesel-powered Comanche. When you changed over to the 300d engine, did you use the Mercedes 300d flywheel, or the 240d flywheel?
Thanks.

Yep, I used the 240d flywheel. I am aware of the balance issues…. but mine has no noticeable vibes. My friends who have done 240>300 manual swaps report similar results. The whole works is wayyyyy smoother than the cummins!!!!! Still getting ~30 mpg. Homer.
