On my trip across the nation last year, I stopped for fuel at a few
truck stops. Other than having to use the smaller hose (driver side
tank) to fit the nozzle, I just pulled to the pump, walked to the
counter, told them I was filling up on the second pump, and away I went.

Thank you for the in depth post comparing DI to IDI engines. I still prefer
driving my 5 spd 240s over my Dodge CTD although its nice not to be
bothered by tail gaters , BTW I towed a broken 240D home and got 23 MPG
(230 miles, half that with the tow)

Then why is a 18.5:1 DI more efficient in a 3/4 ton pickup than a 22.5:1 IDI?
Because ford kinked the downpipe and detuned the 7.3 IDI so that the
powerstroke wouldn't have less power than the engine it replaced.

Nissan had some pretty nice 6's especially the old inline dohc 3.0 which was
used in their trucks and the Maxima. The later 3.0 was a V6 which was twin

I get the feeling someone just doesn't understand that International never used

and were not converted diesels

One of the latest advances in DI engines is computer controlled injection.
Specifically to get the DI engines quieter they inject a small amount of
fuel then as piston goes down they inject the remainder of the fuel. This is
why the new Cummins and other DI diesels are quite.

Nice score. I had no idea crank windows were an option on that truck. I
would much rather have the vinyl for the doggy hauling capabilities
also. you know about the Turbo diesel Register, right ?

You can always go to the dealership when you need parts immediately. They
can get the correct one for you. For future reference you might want to get
extra belts and hoses to keep for emergency use. You can order those and
save some money.

I'd surely love to have one of those. The turbo version is rated at something
like 101hp, the na was of course less so they're obviously not speed deamons
but if you're looking for speed in a Scout you need your head examined...

The Nissan diesel wasn't very common but its out there. In fact in 1980 which
was the last year of production most Scouts were diesels to use up the supply
of engines.
The big trucks could be had (I think only in 1ton or above) with an IH or
Detroit diesel I believe.

The Nissan diesel was available for many years. Diesel Scouts are getting
rare because of the high repair costs, combined with diesel
ignorance. Most of the remaining Diesels have been converted to gas 345

Hi Chuck,
Oddly, the W210 E55 AMG is no faster than my W124 E500, despite being
an official 'AMG' model. It also doesn't sport the flared fenders that
make the original really stand out from the plethora of other 124's.
The plain-Jane W210's could easily mimic the E55 with little more than

It was about 35 degrees this morning. 240D (with goopy
mixture of Kero/D2/oil/etc) started on the third

After about 15 minutes of driving, I noticed that the
oil pressure was not at 45...and that it was flopping
all over. Up, down...up when slowing down, up when

After sitting for 4 hours, I checked the oil level
