This is the diesel I got for the Astro van, basically free, with the 700R4 transmission. Which ironically turned out to be a great transmission, the only one of three that has a good fourth gear, but I rebuilt it anyway. Who knew a 30 year old automatic could still be sweet inside.
I have unsiezed this diesel engine like this three times now. It obviously has some internal problems. So its on the list to get a tear down and rebuild, right after the Ranger is back together. It takes about an hour or more to get this motor turning over 360 deg. Then it won't quite fire, but makes little smoke puffs.
The starter in the 6.2 diesel has some serious torque, sucks the battery voltage down and makes a tremendous amount of heat. It still takes an hour of cranking an eighth of an inch at a time.
