Re: Deutz 4x4(1985 GMC)

Its a German made air cool diesel. Its 288 cubic inches. 4.72 inch storke and a 3.9370 bore. It make 100 hp at 2800 rpm and about 308 ftlbs at 1450rpm. Not bad for a NA diesel. 5 individual jugs and 5 individual jugs that can be replaced independant of the other cylinders and can all be done without removing the oil pan. In other words if you score one cylinder you can buy one new jug and piston with the misc. parts and repair it in the vechicle.

Back in the 80's deutz used these 5 cylinders as an $8000 dollar swap for American trucks and vans. Motors came with a 300,000 mile warranty.

According to stories from my grandpa a guy had one in a chevy van and got 30 mpg pulling or not.

Parts a pretty cheap if you know where to find them. (ie injectors were $36.00 a piece, valve cover $7.90 a piece.

Deutz also made 2,3,4,6 versions as well. They all used the same jugs and heads.
