what do you have spent in this system? I ask because it appears you have made your own AirDog. I know AirDogs are not cheap, I have one on my powerstroke. Now I really like the the AD, but a set up like this will do the same and if its half the price and comes with protection from road...
My idea was a solid axle swap and just getting rid of the thing. I have the axles in my shop right now but before I go through that I need to figure out what I am doing with the engine.
I don't think they ever made a Denali 2 door. Mine is identical to the silver one pictured a few posts before this. There will likely be a suspension swap down the road with this truck so the torsion bar mount will be getting moved if I pull off the diesel swap. I really want to swap in the...
Well it's comments like that are the reason I posed the question. I am not looking to make a power monster, just good dd truck that gets good milage. I really dislike gasoline due to burning the hell out of my self a year ago. Filling up used to just piss me off, now the smell makes me dry...
It does have the auto tcase but that is one of the least of my worries. If i get the donor vehicle, I could try and mate the 6.5L to the 4l60e and rebuild that trans or do the full drivetrain swap and figure out what to do with adding a tcase to the 4l80e.
My truck is a 2000 Denali which is the older body style. The reason I was thinking of this for a swap is everything SHOULD swap from vehicle to vehicle. All sensors, gauge cluster, everything. There would be no need to try and get a PCM for the trans or track down any wiring gremlins. My 350...
hey guys, I have an idea... Is there a worse way to start a thread on a forum? I doubt it. Anyway, instead of building an engine of questionable origins and dealing with the cluster F of wiring; is it possible to buy either a van or truck 01+ 6.5 based on this platform and just swap all of...
That is a good pull. I will be doing it right after Christmas in my Yukon towing a couple thousand pounds of furniture to Philly. Another good pull if above Black Canyon City up to the rest area.
Has anyone installed one of these in place of the factory lift pump? They are very popular with the Powerstroke guys and add a great layer of filtration, water separation and air removal.

Hey all, just came across these and thought you might be interested.

never seen them, never used the company, just something new for the 6.5

I don't even have a running engine right now. I asked because I always read about heath and kennedy but have not read about these. I just wondered if anyone had used them.

I don't need MPG. This is a pure trail truck. Its got 5.13 gears with lockers, 40" tires and no license plates. I need power down low (hence the diesel) and the ability to occasionally run at 3500-4000 for a min or two. Think of getting out of the mud or... kind of like a long pull up a...
Hey guys. I am working on a k10 for a trail truck. I am working on the suspension parts now but am planning on a 6.5 for the drivetrain. Ive got a 599 long block and the intake and exhaust manifolds. When I rebuild this combo should I go with lower comp pistons? what mods do/will i need to...
Has anyone here had any part of their engines extrude honed? I like the idea for a perfect port match and smooth as glass surface for the air to flow past. I just got a quote back from a place and to have the intake manifolds, heads and exhaust manifolds done would be close to 3000 bucks. I...
Its not a diesel but I had the computer on a 99 tahoe take a dive. I was a bit leary when stealership told me that the computer fried itself but I called westers rather then a stock replace and the truck runs like a top
