Just saw this on Facebook. I am not versed at all in diesel motors. He has a gas motor, so I could just be posting something totally irrelevant for this diesel swap. But seems like an easy fix to stop a big problem. Ron(from Utah) just posted this about his Subaru motor he blew up on his trip to Alaska. Here is the post:
Working on the locking diffs and decoupler conversion. Getting the chassis ready for the road.
New vacuum resivoire from gowesty.
I’ve been lucky enough to have Will’s jagwagen her to reference.
Foreign Auto Supply fuel tank kit.
This 6 pin connector and wire harness is the only piece we are missing. It connects to the lights on the 3 switch panel to illuminate which part of system is locked. I have looked on samba and ebay briefly. We do have the circuit board and lights…just need the harness and plugs. Surely someone has a parts vanagon or a parts collection with this in it. Help us out $$ finder fee$$. It would have originally come from a vanagon syncro equipped with any combination of locking differential.
Cutting holes and installing the aux tank today. The 2wd fuel filler pattern was fun.
I asked foreign auto supply what hardware they used for mounting the straps, I was surprised when they told me self tapping sheet metal screws. Instead, I made some 2.5″ long 1/2″ round bars that slipped in the og rocker drain holes and used 6mm hardware to bolt the straps on.
It hangs down a little. I’d try not to slide over sharp rocks too much.
