    Question about Engine Swaps on the M715

    I fit a 6.2 liter Diesel engine to my M715 a little over four year ago. Now I have about 370 engine hours on it (it was a new one from the box) and the performance is ok. I need about 17 to 18 liters a 100 km without trailer and 20 to 22 liters a 100 km with M101 trailer.

    It is nice to hear that other owners also have temperature problems ( means burnd / overheated oil) with their tranfer. Well, let us remenber the origian of the transfer.

    Sorry, can not help you with any kind of electronic photo or drawing of a rear seat frame. To my knowledge there are some shops in the states which live on these vehicles and their parts.

    Won an M109 today (Pick up underway 10 OCT)

    Why you want to use biodiesel? Any electric transformer station cooling oil also will work as well on these old stile Diesel engines (not siutable for common rail systems).
