Engines: the 230GE four, the diesels, and OM606 swaps

Mercedes-Benz G-Class (W461) · mechanical

The lineup spans the 2.3L gas four (230GE), factory diesels (240GD/250GD/290GD/300GD) and, increasingly, OM606 diesel swaps. A long-term 300GD owner argues the gas four is the best for daily driving, revving freely and out-running the diesels, and that the later V8 conversions are miserable to work on.
