    LOL, TD, I appreciate you not telling me then! JiFaire : I spent a year in Stony Plain. Now I am back. Need I say more? LOL. Still love Alberta, just the weather was a bit wacky and cold for me. Not to mention, where I live, a 10-30 minute drive will bring you any number of lakes with...

    straight pipping a 6.5 ?

    one of my exhaust setups, i used a dyno pak cherry bomb. 4" ports, and it flared out to 5" throughout the middle. a little baffling on the side, but overall, basically a free flow setup. it was for legalization only. it was a little quieter than the truck is now, but still plenty of spoolup...

    Is my truck a lightweight?

    when my 6.5 had clutch issues, i had it towed home. the deck truck was 95 five speed 6.5 I was scared watching the guy pull the corner into my driveway. my truck was causing his to lean far enough over that i thought it would roll. i am going to guess GCVW was well over 17,000 lbs

    Need help from Canadian 6.5'ers

    Hmmm, but wouldn't you wonder as to why he would be 30% cheaper? I will agree, that when I first got into 6.5's and my dad's 95 had issues, he was very helpful via e-mail. Seems since then he has dropped in ratings. And he has been far more critical of any other 6.5 vendors than anyone I...

    Need help from Canadian 6.5'ers

    JiFaire: Most of my experiences have been with UPS. I had ordered a 3" downpipe from SSD for $80. The shipping and "brokerage" fees came out to another $78. My pyro and boost gauges I bought for $220. Fees were $90. So, who should I ship with? It is still a five to six hour trip down...

    noob questions

    Just to reinforce the point made here. While the 6.5's do have somewhat of a bad name for failing, all the problems can be fixed and you can get back a respectable truck for much less an investment that a newer rig. If you are simply looking to get a diesel, the 6.5 is probably one of the best...

    Lightweight to Heavyweight

    Okay, so this is in response to the lightweight thread. Post up your numbers for how much weight the truck has had. Both in box only, and trailer weight. I once towed a full sized semi sandtruck out of a ditch. Driver didn't think I could do it. ):h Truck with box weight @ 12,500 lbs. Semi...
