When I first bought it Will that was my plan to go with a turbo but after awhile I lost interest in doing the turbo and decided just to change the intake and get rid of the EGR valve and do the Feed the Beast mod and maybe a cold air filter system , I don't know maybe I'm just wasting my money...

Maybe it never had one because it was a Virginia state truck. I'll have to check out the emissions sticker. Mark

I'm not sure I know what your talking about BigT. The truck came from Virginia and was either owned by the state or one of its counties and appeared to be all stock it has around 150K miles on it. I was surprised to find that it has the smaller 4L60E transmission I would have thought being...

Thanks for your input . Yeah it was making lots blue confetti when I started it, I would think the paper towel tried to exit just through one cylinder. About how much room is there when the pistons on TDC between the piston and the head in the combustion chamber? That sounds like a good idea to...

Hey guys I have a question for you. Now this happened a couple of years ago and gives you an idea how work I've been doing on the ole Jimmy . But the question is this is a NA motor (no turbo) but anywho I had the aircleaner off of it I don't remember what I was working on but I covered the...

I live in Fowler Ohio, its a couple miles north of the Youngstown Airport and this would be in the Northeast corner of the Buckeye State. Mark

I haven't bought a filter yet and like you say I've heard the only reason K&N filters breath is because they let so much crap through I was just using K&N as an example. I'm gonna see if I can stick some kind of a filter in the air baffle over there on the fender well being this is a NA motor I...

Thanks for the reply JM. I was going to do the feed the Beast mod and I got the idea since had the manifold off to find a manifold with no EGR and run a K&N type aircleaner on it and get rid of the old aircleaner and clean up the engine compartment just a tad. Mark

I'm swapping out the intake and installing one so I can delete the EGR valve and I was thinking about getting rid of the air pump too would my little non turbo 6.5 benefit by doing this?Thanks. Mark

Been there done that Mr Marty. I'm an equal opportunity forgetter I forget where I set my wrench down and I play the same game with the parts and I get pretty disgusted with myself sometimes. I wear out my shoes prematurely with all the extra miles I put on them. Mark

Thanks for all the help guys appreciate it. I'm going to use a non egr valve intake & do the Fuel the Beast mod, heck I started this awhile back and stalled out on the project and now I have to go back and try to remember where I left off thanks again for the advice. Mark

Thanks Ak I couldn't find anything on the gaskets as to sealer but I thought there were a few intake bolts that required sealer because they went into a water jacket. Mark

I'm swapping the intake on the 6.5 and I was wondering if you guys are using any sealant on the intake gaskets and what are you using on the intake bolts that require sealant? Thanks for the help. Mark

Ok Mike thanks but its darn near impossible to get any help on their site so I thought I'd give this a shot. Mark

I need some information on pertaining to this motor on your rebuilt program. The core I have to send in the electric hookup on the motor needs replaced would this make the core unusable? I would also like to know who rebuilds these motors if it done in the states? Thanks. Mark
