A few years ago i replaced my GM3 turbo with a GM8 on my '93 6.5 dually. Fabbed a turbo-master and it defiantly is an improvement over the GM3. Don

The GEP set only has about 4K miles on it, if it were off an engine that was ran a while i'd say no way. lol Don

Thanks Will, Since i've been using ATF as a fuel additive for a couple years for my ailing 4911 i know it won't hurt anything. Maybe the environment but there isn't a smog check on the old 1993 so i really don't care about that. Missy Good Wench gave me the ATF advice years ago, and 2 cycle...

Well i already have the GEP gears & chain, well and the GEP heads too off that engine so i might as well change the gears while i'm there. Bobby Martin got the short block a few years ago. I've still got it's brother (i got two military GEP take outs when i got them) and i've considered just...

It's been so long since I've done any work on my 6.5 that i forgot about testing the "clicks" on the IP, THANKS! On the ATF, with my worn out 4911 currently the only way it will start is if i dump a quart of ATF and a quart of 30w oil in the fuel when i fuel up. I'll pre-lube it with something...

Replaced the balancer, rubber belt drive and water pump about 18 months ago. Front seal i had forgot about, good catch! Thanks Don

LOL Oh yea, finding something you've misplaced before you go buy another is great! My hobby is restoring/modernizing 50's and 60's cars/trucks so i have an assortment of parts stashed in my shop loft. Stuff for Camaro's, GTO's, Monte Carlo's, 57 Chevy's...etc Don

Thanks! I thought it would work with my DB-2 pump, i may swap the gears while i'm in there. The old beast has 230,000 miles on the original engine. Don

Hi guys, When i change my injection pump i'd like to also do the timing chain & Gears. I have a nearly new set off a 2006 GEP, would that work on my '93 block? (i think it's a 599 block) Thanks Don

Thanks Will!! I hadn't thought of the atf for a little pre-lube, great idea! I've had it for several years, i "lost" it but recently ran upon it while looking for something else in my storage loft. Don

Hi ya'll, I mainly just lurk on most of the forums, but i have a question for the experts on IP's. Currently running a '93 Chevy 3500 with the 6.5, IP is now a well worn 4911 IP. Has the typical hot start issue, and in general seems to be fairly gutless when it warms up. I have a second IP i...

Nice Burb! Sorry to hear the GEP block didn't work out for you, i'm about ready to drop the other one i had in my 3500. Don Austin

Robin, I'm in the same boat with the heat, anything above 85F and i'm just toast in a matter of minutes. :-( My dually won't fit in my shop door either, it will fit into the storage building i built, but the thing is metal and hot as h*ll unless it's winter. Take it slow and easy, you are a...

Glad to hear Missy is back with us again!!! I can relate to the health issues putting a hold on a lot of things, my Heart Attacks and surgeries late last year made me take a 4 month "vacation". Please take it easy and work back up to it and you'll be motivating before you know it!! Don

Don't waste your time with Diesel "careless" parts. I had two bad experiences with them and injectors, never again. They show you Bosch injectors, ship you chinese. I returned them for the right ones, they sent me another set of chinese. Then would not refund my $$. Don
