    20” Unimog rims on a Mercedes 814 DA

    It depends. I don't have any numbers here but the 4x4 T2 is geared very low. Mine is not built out yet but I regularly start in second gear so there is no reason for me to believe that I will need to re-gear with my 20" rims.

    20” Unimog rims on a Mercedes 814 DA

    That depends. What truck are you buying? My 814DA did not need a gearing change.

    20” Unimog rims on a Mercedes 814 DA

    That’s the PTO, if it’s equipped with one.

    20” Unimog rims on a Mercedes 814 DA

    That's country dependent. I imported my GABO wheels to the US and I did a lot of research to make sure they would be road legal. I went as far as talking to the Tire and Rim Association of America. US employs self-certification, which means that if a wheel manufacturer stamps the appropriate...

    Modifying an OM364/366LA Engine

    I'm already running 275/80/R20 MPT-81s. Good points about the 924. I'm almost certain I want to rebuild and tune the 364 now instead of an engine swap. Thanks!

    Modifying an OM364/366LA Engine

    ANY modification to the engine to increase power should be followed up with the installation of en EGT Gauge. I prefer Digital such as Auber or Madman.

    Modifying an OM364/366LA Engine

    Unfortunately I just ordered new injectors from Germany and ended up with A 003 017 44 21. I plan to send the IP to Dieselmeken in Sweden as I already have one of their modified IPs on my other vehicle. They say they can increase fuel delivery by 30-40% on this particular IP. Hellgeth doesn't...

    Modifying an OM364/366LA Engine

    Thanks for your input everyone! Heres the catch. I don't have a Unimog. It's a Mercedes 814DA with an OM364LA. I seriously doubt an OM366LA will even fit in the dog house of this vehicle as it is 8" longer. That would move the dog house back to where the transmission currently is. So my option...

    Modifying an OM364/366LA Engine

    I will reach out. Thanks! So, I'm the first in the US to do this then? I find that hard to believe.

    Modifying an OM364/366LA Engine

    Has anyone modified an OM364LA or OM366LA engine to get more horsepower? If so what did you do? Which turbo did you go with? Did you change the Intercooler and Radiator? What about the IP? I added ~100hp to my OM617A on my 300GD and I am considering doing the same on my 814DA which has an...

    20” Unimog rims on a Mercedes 814 DA

    Mine has pneumatic center diff lock as well as rear diff lock. Full time 4x4 with low range engagement. Not sure about the low range ratio as I need to hook up the system.

    20” Unimog rims on a Mercedes 814 DA

    Stock offset is ET120 and the GABOs are ET125. I believe those Unimog rims have ET137. My 814DA is a 1992 and I have the OM364LA engine. I plan to install an EGT eventually.

    Anyone with an 814DA in the US?

    I agree, which is why I went through the trouble of importing it. This is the rare factory 4x4 version with low range, and pneumatic center and rear diff locks. I think it’s sharing the same system as Unimogs. It also has air brakes including air parking brake. There is a compressor on the...

    Full frame off restoration and camper conversion with the goal of traveling throughout South America.

    Anyone with an 814DA in the US?

    The Big Fella has arrived in the US. There's a couple of 2WD T2s in the country but I think this is the first factory 4x4 Transporter 2 on US soil.
