I have not done much to the truck recently I drive it more in the winter time. Plus with my commute doesn't always make sense to drive it to work. I'm picking back up on getting the pressure actuator set up properly along with some other needed maintenance. Hopefully I'll have a response soon as...

Assuming mine is functioning properly I think this is probably the solution to my problem. I somehow overlooked it being pressure controlled.

I tested the truck with the original vacuum waste gate along with an adjustable elbow with the Allen set screw in the housing and I couldn't keep boost down. If I'm not mistaken don't the original hx35 waste gate actuators work off boost pressure? I went ahead and swapped over to the setup from...

Hey guys, just finished installing an hx35 on the old 6.5 this weekend. Previously I had installed an HX40 but didn't pay any mind to the exhaust housing size. 18 cm was a little bit too big with the NV4500 so it made driving the truck almost miserable. Snagged and HX35 from a 12 valve a few...

Hey guys back again and potentially about to venture on round three. My other two 6.5s have proven to be nothing but reliable cheap fun so I'm possibly looking at my third. Just looked at it yesterday and I'm going back this Sunday when the owner has the keys to see if it'll fire up. The story...

I did not but I was wondering if I should. That is something I forgot to add in my post. Any recommendations? Amazon has quite a few fuel water separators and fuel filter assemblies. Most of the spin on filter assemblies have a 1 in threaded fitting for like a tank transfer pump. Before the LP...

Finally found the time almost 11 months later to get this truck going. Pulled the bed and checked the tank for contaminated fuel and a clogged screen. Safe to say the screen was the problem. Pulled the transmission and replaced the rear main, flywheel, every single clutch related component and a...

New starter is in the floorboard along with ac Delco bolts a few other parts and a ring gear. I didn't seem to see any bubbles or contamination in the clear hose which I thought was odd I am doubting even having 5 PSI I haven't put a gauge on it yet it's currently at work but I'll probably grab...

That was my thought. I've got a stanadyne authorized dealer local to me that I thought about taking them to. The injectors are made by echlin and supposedly they have a facility where they rebuild and test all of their equipment. They are pretty simple for injectors but at the same time since...

Haha nice isn't quite the first word that comes to my mind when I describe the truck but it has a decently clean interior I suppose. I'll have to take some pictures tomorrow I'm hoping to have the transmission pulled then. Either way for $1,400 I suppose it's not too bad. It will be getting a...

It appears that something may potentially be wrong with my brain. Some may say it's not a bad thing others call me ridiculous but I just couldn't stay away from owning a 6.5. I picked up a running 1993 k3500 single cab 6.5 with an nv4500 209k miles about 2 weeks ago that I was told needed a...

So I finally have some good news for this forum. I took a break with the truck because quite frankly it just pissed me off. Bought a set of new Bosch injectors about a month ago and finally got around to installing them today along with new return lines. Somehow found two injectors that were...

Yes I do know it is a bore corner for sure. I have since replaced the output speed sensor with an ACDelco sensor and now the speedometer starts to jump at about 75 mph Rather than starting at 60 mph. I'm also not having as many problems with the torque converter locking and unlocking but it does...

Unfortunately there is no tag I have searched everywhere all my other trucks have had tags

It doesn't appear that there is much play in the tail shaft I did however noticed there was a bit of metal on the sensor. I'm not too familiar with these transfer cases. There is a bushing in the tail shaft housing? Is there supposed to be transmission fluid in this housing from the transfer...
