I actually considered a 4-53 for this build but someone would have to give it to me, along with all of the parts to place it under the hood. If I was 16 I would work day and night on it getting one of these in. I'm well past that age and if it don't bolt right in I don't want it. That goes for...

Since i never heard of it before, I had a sneaking suspicion that it was something that everyone wanted to forget, but then I've heard the same comments about the 6.2's and 6.5's too.....

I'm now at cross roads. After my good fortune on my holidays, friend of mine who happens to be a diesel mechanic suggested I should just scrap the 6.5 build and get a 8.2L Diesel. He was telling me they come from the factory with 320hp. Best part it's all mechanical. I googled it and came up...

Does any body have or know where I can get a schematic for the wiring under the dash of my ' 95 Tahoe? Specifically the courtesy lights, mine don't work at all, tried to tie into a separate power source and the stupid anti theft bullshit locked everything up. If there is one on line somewhere...

To me that's one of the signs of major trouble, that metal particles is the from either the bands or the main pump in the transmission were wore, out. You said that you only got to drive it a few yards is an indication that the pump was probably too far gone and just gave out. I was told this...

Thanx for the info Buddy. I keep forgetting that couple of ya run these on the drag strip, I'll be saving my penny's for a bit to get a P400 then, it's a natural better quality go with better money.

I found a 6.5L for a good price it ran when it was removed from a wrecked '93 and I also found a truck that I always wanted to rebuild from the frame up and can get it cheep like feel really guilty cheep. So it'll be my toy, in other words everything I want in it. I was wondering if anyone...

My 2 penny's worth is to have the tranny flushed along with the filter change, it replaces most if not all the old fluid with fresh fluid. I had this done 20,000 miles ago with Royal Purples ATF with the piece of mind I don't have to worry about it at all. The filter is only a few bucks and the...

The brand new tight belt squeals to beat hell and the vacuum pump pulley sits still, tried to turn it by hand but it's solid lump of scrap. I am handy with the tools, so I'm gonna find a spring and a chunk of rod with a chunk of metal and a turbo gauge and a sorter belt and get rid of it...

Well I narrowed my problem down to the ignition switch is screwed and have bin driving it that way for about a month now, yesterday the 2 yr. old vac pump went kapoot :WTF::mad2: I swear this is the test do I love this diesel more than my wife, cause she's barely hanging in there, had to hide...

Command start is remote starter, I do have that and I am going to disconnect it right now. It was brought to my attention that even though I pulled the fuse for it, it could still complete the circuit.

I'll have them change it out, and if it doesn't work, I'll have them change out the ignition. thanx for the help.

Alright, I've just about had enough of my Tahoe..... Last year ( IN -20C or 0F) the bushings wore out so bad the starter it would skip off the flex plate once in a while. Easy enough found a band new bosch unit for $150 spent an hour trying to take it out then found the bracket thats at the...

Air cooled engines are different animals, and most are not turbo charged. All the generators I've ever layed eyes on had a block heater or a hot box that kept the coolant temp at 180 deg. The ones on the drilling and service rigs are idled for 20-30min before they flip the breaker. I do...

I never start and take off, was told that's the best way to get rid of your pistons on any diesel. Have seen what happens first hand what happens, in the matter of 8 month's an acquaintance of mine took out two 6.5's by starting them and taking off. I always let it run until the temp comes up...

Do ya let it warm up at all? How cool is it in the morning?

When I store a vehicle for the winter, I put it up on blocks (railway ties or bridge ties), to keep the tires from getting flat spotted and to keep the carcass from separating from the cords, should a tire go flat during the winter (aluminum rims are famous for loosing air pressure). I change...

Only ever seen on or two that didn't have one on it, and they were farm trucks the see regular use through the field and pasture. Everything from the 3500's right down to the 1/2 ton's even the fullsize van's have had them.

Good luck finding one with a 6.5. About 120 -125,000 Tahoe's were built every year the 6.5 was made until '98, and only 1% of those actually came with the 6.5L, add in accidents and engine's failing, and other failures = even less. The one I have was first Tahoe that I've ever seen in my...

I'm not totally sure, but I think the parts that are different are interchangable. So if you have the one for the Chevy you can change the parts over to make the one from the dodge fit.
