Where can I get the part that sits on the plenum from the turbo?

Also no slipping, shifts perfect. I've noticed that the noise stops after I drive it for a while.

No it makes the noise at a complete stop, and a vibration. As soon as I start driving it stops.

I have something similar going on. When Im in drive and step on the brake I can hear a growl. I thought I might of had a broken crank, but the noise is coming and going. Tranny shifts perfect, no metal in either oils.

I'm looking at a surplus 6.5 non-turbo. I called gep and they identified it. He told me the pistons aren't anodized and that its a lower HP engine. He told me I could install my turbo but its going to be a lower hp engine. Has anyone purchased an N/A motor and installed a turbo? Results?

I'm considering a complete rebuild of a 2000 6.5 out of my drw dump. It has 137k runs great but has blow by. The rest of the truck is rotted out. I have a clean HD with a questionable engine, so I was thinking of rebuilding and changing the engines. I don't see how its cost effective to rebuild...

Im leaning toward the 'temp/cam Sensor' on the injection pump. Test for that is disconnecting and restart. Cheapest thing to rule out. I found a video of a 6.5 doing the same thing. If it were smoking I would consider injectors, air, filters and 100 other things. The engine is strong otherwise...

I'm running an ATT and 4inch exhaust, larger crossover pipe, kojo tune. I'm either going to rebuild the engine or buy a teds engine. I haven't made up my mind. However, a performance cam can be part of the rebuild kit. Need more info before I decide, but leaning toward teds.

Ummm not to seem argumentative, but the ffm isn't leaking. I reseated it afte I found it was leaking. The lack of throttle control is likely the ip. I was trying to get a few other ideas before I pulled the pump. The engine only has 137k and its a 2000 casting f code engine. Before I cut the...

Not sure what why these responses keep ponting to the batteries. I said I "had" batterie problems. Replaced with 2 new ones. i only mentioned it because i had to jump it a bumch of times and thought maybe id done some damage. As for the "used filter" I pulled the filter out for inspection and...

What's involved in changing the precups? Would I have to do that on a teds engine that was a turbo? I found a 98 gm 6.5 rebuild by the military. Found a couple of other military 6.5s they look like new, but they're calling them rebuildable. I looked at the company's web site that builds the new...

Hi all, can I install the manifold and crossover pipe to make a nonturbo a turbo? Found one doesnt look like its been started. It's inside one of those metal crates.

Thanks! As for hurting my feelings, Im not thin skinned. As for selling it, I have several standing offers of $1000 as is. I was considering fixing it because the engine is tight and has very good compression. I'm running and a team turbo on it and 4inch exsaust(which isn't part of the sale) it...

Anything is possible. I'm hearing about the optical eye in the ip, and that nothing can be done. But then I read a post about turning it to get more power. I must have this post in the wrong place, only one reply. Ususly I get 10 by now.

I was getting 18mpg with 2000 gmc k3500 4x4, auto, rack dump. No tune, 4 inch diamond eye. Bought an HD haven't swapped the turbo yet. I miss it so. Power plus savings. How can you lose?
