    Thanks for sharing your progress! I also have a 5.9 QC that I’ve been toying with idea of throwing a tdi into. Not nearly as mechanically savvy as you but your videos are very informative and give me an idea of what I could expect lol. Not for the faint of heart! I hope you get these last few kinks ironed out and have a good runner soon

      Thanks for watching! Yes this was a little more involved than I was hoping but it should be a nice rig once I get everything finished up, it would be nice if they came out with an adapter to use the Dodge automatic, otherwise I would probably recommend a manual transmission for the TDI

    Hi buddy how are ya? Thank you for the update. This is an awesome build. I’ve never thought to run an automatic with the ALH tdi on a swap. You’ve done it twice now that I know of. Autos are mystery boxes to me hehehe even though I have to stock trucks with them. When I watch your videos it’s like an advanced course in automotive engineering. I can’t wait to start my build. Gotta save up some dough it’s seems to go fast nowadays!! Take care buddy God bless you and the family. Oh I dig the ultra gauge I will have to get one of those for sure!!

      Thanks for watching! Ya it's kinda crazy the stuff that works together, but you'd never know if you didn't try 😂 you are right about the dough disappearing faster than you can make it though! Everyone is like "why isn't it painted" and "why haven't you regeared it" lol, because I don't have sponsors, that's the main reason 🤣🤣🤣

      Thanks man! It's turning out pretty nice, but it sure was a lot of work compared to my other swaps, there's barely a Dakota part left on it!

    With my ultra gauge in my alh 4runner i used gps to set my speed by changing the distance cal untill it mached. My speedo was out like 10km because of oversized tires.

    Needs some fender flares🤣 that tdi starts up sooooo fast btw must be a mint engine.

      Yeah it seems to be running really well, but once you go to one ton axles fender flares are useless LOL, my 38.5 snow tires are going to be completely outside the fenders 😂

    greetings from Puerto Rico. What is the best Volkswagen diesel engine (TDI) for a swap? thank you

    • @TDISwaps
      @TDISwaps  Год назад

      For that answer I usually say the cheapest one you can find haha. Usually older ones are cheaper to work on, newer ones have more expensive parts but often handle higher power with tuning.

    • @TDISwaps
      @TDISwaps  Год назад

      @jancarloscruz1047 any 1998 and newer TDI is good, just have to see what's available in your area. They are all pretty similar as far as parts needed just stuff costs more the newer you get.

      @@TDISwaps I have two vehicles seen jetta 2003 1.9l ALH engine and the other jetta 2006 1.9l BEW which is better?

    • @TDISwaps
      @TDISwaps  Год назад

      @jancarloscruz1047 well the ALH is much cheaper to work on and maintenance, the BEW is not as common and has more maintenance issues to deal with, but can handle over 200 HP much safer, so it kind of depends on your goals for the swap. 140 HP diesel will move about any vehicle, more than that is just for fun, what's more important, power or cheaper maintenance.

      cool.. I gathered up a complete alh wiring, pedal, innercooler, piping takeout from a '99 beetle, a couple years ago, and a '94 toyo 4x4 has been waiting patiently for the marriage. I was kicking around keeping the W56, or maybe stepping up to a AX15. I think I'll just stay with the toyo trans..
      Then, Life got a little hairy for me and my 'fun' was put on the back burner. anyway, a recent quick search shows maybe a couple new players in the adapter dept.
      are U using your own tune? Stock?? @@TDISwaps

      @TDISwaps  11 месяцев назад +1

      @roberttammerawitchey4652 i have some tuning I can offer people for mild setups up to 150 HP, but all my swaps are very custom 200+ HP and I get all that tuning from TekMekTronics.

      see, there ya go- just 3-4 yrs ago, all I knew about was Malone tuning. IIRC, 'stage 3 or 4' was kinda what I was looking at.

      @roberttammerawitchey4652 ya I can support up to a stage 3, vnt15/17 type setup with my wiring deals, trying to get people into it cheap, that and the cheaper adapter options are really starting to get this swap to be more affordable
