XDP 4.90 = 2.1 L 62 BHP indirect-injection diesel
XD3P = 2.5L 72.5 BHP indirect-injection diesel. Same engine in the 550 XDB.

Guys how to find the difference between NGCS and old MM550's

[SPIKE ARRESTOR]

Joshguy, the simplest way by which you can make out a NGCS from a non NGCS vehicle is by observing the spring eye widths. The spring eye width of a NGCS vehicle is wider compared to a Non-NGCS one. Attaching a pic for more clarification.

Spike

PS- There are many other differences, this being one among those many.

Hey spike: Do you know if NGCS was ever sold to civilians or only to Army?

AFAIK, NO, I may be wrong. I haven't seen any civilian versions of NGCS 5X0s.

To begin as already confirmed with there is no MG416 - its just a model concocted by members. Its for a Gypsy with a 1.6 Baleno engine. A pretty mean mix I am led to believe.

CJ/CL340 is (SWB) Short Wheel Base Chassis. CJ was pre 70s and naming convention changed to CL post 70s. Not sure which year exactly.

MM540 - came in both 2WD and 4WD. DP engine which is 2112cc with a 4 speed Gear box.
MM550 - is not bigger, is always a 4WD and has a 2.5L XD3P engine. with a 5 speed Gear box.
MM5x0 are what I personally call RWB (Right Wheel Base)
MM440 - is the same base as the 540 with a Petrol engine. IIRC - Only 4x4versions.

MM650 is (LWB) long chassis (longer than MM540) This also came in 4x4 versions.
MM750 is longer than 650. Pure people movers.

There!

Iron wolf pretty known areas for you I feel these are. Thanks, pretty useful information.

Btw,how about Mahindra CJ 500 (consider the model year is 1984). Is it the model which has been there in market for long time ( i mean, the most sold model, and obvious choice of police jeeps as far I seen in kerala)

Did it have both 2wd and 4wd. How about the cc and gearbox. Is there a specific way we can identify that it is real CJ500 only, for eg like the company etched name or so on engine block or on the specification plate can we rely on which is usually found near the ignition key on right next to steering column. When did they launch CJ500 and till when was it available. Can you give a brief on CJ500 jeeps, the major pro's an con's of the vehicle, and in case I am about to purchase and use it for mild off roads too.

Attaching the photo in case. First time trying this option.

The Go-Devil engines were of 2199cc capacity.

The GPW never had the Hurricane engine, and the Hurricane is also 2199cc not 2496cc. No Ford engraving on the bonnet/windscreen either. The GPW actually stood for
"G" - Government
"P" - 80 inch wheelbase vehicle
"W" - Willys (to denote the Willys design which they ended up using)

MM550 - is not bigger, is always a 4WD and has a 2.5L XD3P engine. with a 5 speed Gear box.
MM5x0 are what I personally call RWB (Right Wheel Base)

I guess the MM550 came with 2112cc (the Voyager engine) and not 2500cc ones.

Gurus Correct me if am wrong

540/550 difference has to do the with the theoretical seating capacity for excise duty purpose and has nothing to do with the power train. The power train is typically identified by the characters that follow the 550/540 ie. (DP, XD, XDB).

@josh: Only the XD and XDB came with the 2.5 engine. Civilian ones are extremely rare to find. I have seen only three on this forum, Sree's, Viji's & Devi (chennai jeeper). All army versions come with the 2.5. The voyager had the 2.4 and not 2.1 engine. Think there is some difference in the oil pan in the voyager XD3P (not sure of this thought).

So all Army and 540s have 2500cc engines? BTW Tini what is the difference between XD and XDB

Thanks for the info

There is no "Army 540" They are 550s. yes they have 2498cc Peugeot XD3P engines, with KMT-90 Transmission

XD = 2.5 ltr engine + KMT-90 4Speed Gearbox.
XDB = 2.5ltr engine + Peugeot BA-10, Fully Synchro 5 speed Gearbox.

There are lot of other difference like Hydraulic clutch etc....

Hope this helps
