    12 yrs ago I bought a 6.2 from Linquip. Put a Turbo 700 behind it with the t,box off a LT 95 in my 6x6 FC. Always ran hot untill recently I fitted a big Volvo truck radiator and two oil coolers. T700 crapped out so put in a manual 4l80e now its overheating with two oil coolers.
    The 6,2 is pretty gutless and I get about 4 k,s per litre but the rig weighs about 4.5t.
    Had to go with the auto because with FC gearchange to a LT95 would be too hard.
    I have a 4BD1 in the other 110 FC and its good. Maybe I should have stuck to Isuzu for the 6x6 with a 6bd1 perhaps.
    Anyway dissapointed in the Chev.

    It would seem that some hit it lucky with the install, but many do not, the odds do not appear to be good in that regard. I know what engine I'd really like to use, but its not in production yet and thats the MYT Engine.

    Anyway I'm now looking into V6's to see what can be done with those. ATM a mob in the UK is doing V6 Diesel conversions and they appear to have most of the issues licked, so I'll keep an eye on that for now.

    Thanks to all for your input, both good, bad or other!

    You need radiator frontal area if you have an overheating problem that is not mechanical. Adding extra core thickness becomes self-defeating at a certain point. you restrict air flow through the core. Ask the German M.A.N. technicians who tried to make their trucks suitable for road train usage in WA in the 1970's. They had a ten row radiator in at one stage that ran hotter than the original.

    No its this Mob Diesel performance tuning and economy remap chip tuning for Landrover Defender Discovery TD5 Puma TDV6 TDV8. Seems they like to tinker!

    Plus I could always grab the new D3 V6 Diesel and transplant that I suppose.

    thats the problem with the big donk in the little engine bay, as i said mine was fine after i put an 80mm thick aluminium radiator in it (thicker than the copper 4 core before it), mind you it only had 2 cores aswell, may'be M.A.N. should have done something like that aswell

    It's been my experience with cooling issue's that airflow through the radiator is more important within reason than the actual size of it. Pat

    true but an 80mm thick 2 core will work better than a 40mm thick 2 core, remmber its only 2 cores, nice big cores
