Ok - I'm slightly confused looking at the pictures of this U1200 on the exchange. It was my understanding that this style of depressed hood was a clear indicator of a U1000, made possible by the lack of the turbo.

Am I mistaken?

No, I believe that you are correct. I think that truck is listed incorrectly, as a U1200 would have a turbo and the hood without the scoop-out.

It is probably a U1000 with poss a turbo,as the turbo will still ft under the lower bonnet( sorry,hood!)it may also be that the owner has retro fitted a U1000 bonnet and grill for the increased visibility that it gives.

The underhood shot certainly looks to be A U1000.
No mention of a turbo in the listing.

The underhood shot certainly looks to be A U1000, but there could be a turbo
hiding down in there. No mention of a turbo in the listing.

Hmmm. no turbo there, the intake goes straight from the air cleaner to the manifold.

Corrected my post.

The om352 can be N/A to 130hp, the om366 can be N/A to 140hp in road trucks

If it had a retrofit truck engine then it could be a u1200 with non turbo bonnet/hood?

Was there ever a U1200 that left the factory without a Turbo?If not,then surely the owner needs to be a tad more honest in his description, and still advertise it as a U1000 but with power increases.I have a U1000 that is running 130bhp n/a,and am also looking to add the turbo soon, however, I would never try and advertise it as anythign but what it is.I'm sure there is a good explanation and I am just talking bollocks.

Also looks like the air filter is blocked.

And it has Jeep rear lights......lmao

I think the owner probably doesn't really know exactly what they have, and all 424 series trucks look very similar, so they probably ass-u-me it is a U1200, when it is actually a U1000. The only way to know for sure is to see the first 6 digits of the Vin and get to the bottom of what it actually is. FWIW, there is very little difference between a U1000 and U1200 except for the hood/grille and the engine size.

Which are quite substantial differences on their own..

I came across a file on that truck that I saved some time ago, and it was designated as a 1986 U1000 at that time...
