F F F F Why didn't I see this earlier.

Well this engine shouldn't be a big deal because everything is mechanical except the glow plugs. But the Powerstroke killed batteries. Mostly because due to the high pressure oil system leaking. That keeps it from firing. You keep cranking hoping it'll start. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm on my second diesel truck. Neither one of these trucks have isolators in them. If one battery goes dead, you are not going to be starting it on one battery alone. I've tried. I guess on smaller displacement diesels like Mercedes, Land Rover or Toyota, it might be possible. But I don't...

So on my range rover project. I'm putting the GM 6.2 diesel in it. It came from the factory with dual batteries. But when I removed everything from the truck there wasn't a battery isolator. The engine uses a normal gas V8 chevy alternator. Is a battery isolator really needed? I plan on...

IT Fired, for couple of seconds on WD40. The lift pump / fuel pump, isn't working. So I ordered another one. $14. The Ford Starter Relay was also dead, i used a ford starter relay for my glow plug relay set up. So I ordered a new one for $8. I should be ready to fire on Monday.

might be a crank position sensor. your catalytic converter might be plugged up as well. Two things that happened on my 1994 GC that made it run like your's does.

It did. But I used it in my diesel conversion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Update. I might get this started soon. I'm missing my hold down bracket for the vacuum pump that is run off the back of the cam. So hopefully I can locate that soon. Wiring is 95% done. I need to get a new alternator. Another battery. And install my Land Rover power steering pump. I just...

Looks cool Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Make sure to triple check the steering. Especially the rack and pinion that it's not leaking. Check the control arms as well. All very expensive and time consuming to change. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I only get about 17 with my 2013 CTD 2500. I still have emissions crap on it though. I'm sitting at 22K miles. So who knows, maybe it'll get better as time goes on. Loads of power, ride is pretty nice as well.

I'd like to go! are we going to be starting and ending in the same spot. I'd like to trailer my Range Rover.

Engine mounts are all welded up. The engine is holding itself in place. Next up the transmission mounts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't think it's horrible. It fits your needs. Atleast it runs. I would have stayed with Ford. But I wasn't sure about the new diesel. It seems like they are having lots of issues as well. It just feels good to know you have a reliable truck. And it won't break down in the middle of no...

Looks good. 10 mpg. Gagging How big is the gas tank Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It fits. Just got it all centered up. The 700R4 has loads of room as will the transfercase. Next up, welding in the engine mounts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like to go where they have trees. But it's Evanston and there aren't a lot of trees around Evanston. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I often wonder how much time I spent cleaning crap up. Oh, well, if it make me happy. If i'd just slam it in there, i'd have been done a year ago. Now I will have the following combo: 6.2L Diesel 700R4 NP241 24 Spline Land Rover Axles 3.56 I guess we will see what the weakest link is...
