    What you think this 6.5L is worth? Any other input?

    I have the same truck except mine is not 4x4 and it is not standard. It was bone stock but cosmetically in way better shape. The inside looked brandnew. I paid $3300 for mine.

    Glow Plug Harness

    Yeah that happened to mine as well. I went in and replaced glow-plugs. I realized after removing half the front in to get to it all that the two wires under the turbo had melted at the useable link. That put me down to only one plug working on that side. Was a whole new animal when the new...

    Lucas Oil Anyone?

    thanks guys! I haven't added anything but oil in my truck. I was in the auto store the other day and saw their neat little gadget on the counter. From playing with it a while it looked like it did coat the gears more. But IIRC regular oil has an additive in it that makes it thinner when cold...

    The "restification" of a 98 6.5 TD...

    Ok, I have been impressed by your workmanship! I have a 93 GMC and have been looking for options to run an after market audio system. The problem with the 93 is that the radio is in two parts: the main radio in in the dash next to the instrument panel and the tape deck is in the dash. If I...
