I have a 1985 Toyota 4Runner SR5 with a 3.0 liter OM617.952 Turbo Diesel for sale. Motor has been in the truck for a little over a year and has been my daily driver/road trip/Camping vehicle. Last year I drove 1600 Miles round trip to NYC and back without the slightest problem. Currently 21,xxx miles on the swap.

This is an incredible truck and is always getting looks, comments, double takes, questions anywhere I go and when people hear that it is a diesel, the response never gets old. Never been stuck anywhere yet. I am pretty light on the truck as it is. I go by the "it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it" with this thing. Never sees over 60 mph, and rarely sees boost over 6 psi. I built this truck to be a good gas mileage/Ultra Reliable/Versatile/Utilitarian Rig and it has become just that.

I am going to miss this truck. Put a lot of hard work into this, but my wife and I are trying to simplify our lives and with this thing in the drive way, I will find an excuse to upgrade SOMETHING.

I would possibly trade for something 4 door, equal value, also needs to be good on gas. Nothing Automatic.

I have receipts and pictures along with video for nearly everything and every mod. Also have every Fuel Fill-up since the swap, minus 2 or 3 when the printer at the pump didn't work.

I live in Louisville KY. I would consider driving it out to someone depending on the situation...

Asking 7,000. OBO.
Don't be afraid to offer. Worst I say is no. You can Call/Text offers to Five 0 2-Eight 1 0-7924

Thanks for taking a look!!

Out of curiosity how hard was the swap? Thinking about putting a diesel in my pickup!

Swap was not too terrible. Worth the gain in MPG and torque. There are tons of "little" things that will throw a wrench into your progress, but over all, easier than swapping an RB26DETT in or something like that.

Dropping to 6,000. Looking at maybe trading it this weekend, but would much rather sell it!
