I think... will have to look at the specs. I'm putting an SD33T into my '83 J10 stepside... I'm thinking that an OM617 might have more oomph... will think about this a bit... the SD33T is industrial strength, the OM617 is more refined... john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 http://creationwiki.org http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Tue, 17 Nov 2009, Ben Giovanelli, CPA wrote: # John, # # # # Stumbled across you in a Google search and was curious if you had any # feedback or suggestions of where I might go look to see some quality info on # a Grand Wagoneer receiving a OM617 intel.
