well i am ready to play a little. i got a boost gauge hooked up and did some checking. if i hit it from a dead stop the boost jumps to 6 and then drops to 5 and stays there. then if i am running down the road and ease into it it will peak at 7 and then drop to 5.5 ish. so my...

yeah that is exactly what mine looked like. spent last saturday replacing mine, first tried by myself didn't happen. let me tell you they are not much fun, well atleast on a four wheel drive.

your talking about the pump mounted on the frame rail behind driver door? i thought the injector pump was up on the front of the engine.

got quick pic of it today with my cell phone

what would be the best way to inspect the damper just visually, kind of hard to see. what are we callin a bad shake. mine is more of a heavy vibrate.

mine shakes at idle as well, not sure when the trans fluid was changed but shifts strong. maybe i need to check balancer.

i too did the kennedy mod but i didnt notice the turbo much?

oh man, i guess i didn't think turnin the t bars up one full turn would not allow me to tow or haul with my new truck. guess i will have to turn them back down. thanks for the help!

well didn't get any pics taken but i was able to get a few things done. AFTER i put up christmas stuff oh so much fun. got the old man running boards removed and turned the torsion bars up to help level out the front to rear. then i also did the air filter box trick. while i was in there i...

yeah i haven't made my mind up completly as i can't even make it back down there till saturday, but unless something better comes along (which i highly dought will happen) i should be a 6.5 owner this weekend. thanks guys for all the help!!!

my mind could be swayed on the truck but as of now it is the best truck i have came across. in these times it seems used trucks are getting good money, which is bad for me but good for those looking to get rid of one. i just want to insure that the one i purchase will provide me with years of...

i am gonna start with the things that need done just to insure the reliability of the truck, clean radiator and condensor. new oil cooler line with possible new cooler. transmission filter and new fluid. glow plugs. not really into making lots of power more interested in reliability and...

yeah it is deffinenetly what i have been looking for. the current owner has owned several 6.5 and seemed to know his way around the engine and truck. he seems to be the kind that when something needs fixed or attention he fixes it. so as far as i can tell it has been cared for. by the way i...

well since i am buying my first 6.5, what a better way to begin the mods!!! sign me up as well!!

ok so i went and checked it out. i wrote down some pointers i had gotten from here on things to check and look for. first off the truck is real clean. it was ziebarted when purchased and i think it helped. the interior is super clean, like new. started good little puff of smoke, cleared...

im in central il. trust me guys i have been truck shopping within 300 miles of my area for 6 weeks and there is nothing out there. rusted out beater trucks in our area have been going for $2500. find a clean mid 90's chevy around here and you are gonna pay. used trucks and suv's around here...

i am going to look at it the morning with my dad. from the picture the seller has sent me the truck appears to be in excellent shape. i am sure it has scrathces and such. he is asking $5000 for the truck. fresh batteries, glow plugs, and a few other maintenance things. i am hoping to walk...
