Heater maybe depends if operating in really cold area often or running a belended "heavy fuel" Vo/WVO that may need thinning when cold, my Racor has the capability for pre-heat if I want to add the kit, water separation IMO is a yes, but that is a function of the filter element itself treated...

Hi Terry long time no see, negative on the Cometic gaskets, according to stuff Bill shared with me on my project engine, great for gassers, but not so well with 6.5s suspect someting to do with higher CR and clamping arrangement of the 6.5s head. But rebuild for sure that truck can't be...

It's not the issue of a 1500 being equipped with a ATT I have (2) a K1500 (S) truck & a C1500 (F) burb with ATT; both have better performance & mpg over stock turbo, 99% of my driving is around town driving, towing is the shining star for the ATT but I have no complaints whatsoever in daily...

Go for it :thumbsup: it looks like you have a good understanding on risks and have been down this road before, so with that give it a shot ATT by paper was not supposed to work either, even Bill not a fan of it but IMO he/it did not get a fair shake out, and much of Bills mind made up by...

X2 to Ferms advise, also don't reuse the old TTY head bolts only new bolts, though some have & gotten away with it, IMO cheap insurance to go with studs and allow for more strength overall.

Was the support brace still there ?

Me personaly I would not give up just yet you know your 6.5, you don't know the Cummins or maybe you do, but if you do you also know they can have issues as well,,,,,,, expensive ones,,,,,, which is easy for me to say not knowing the full situation before you, but if it is a head gasket you are...

Not always about the math how something should work, proof is in pudding over long haul dynamically how it hold up, my setup has been there since 2008. I'm not saying the HX or other turbos won't work and that it is also the cause of the problem or a contributor in this instance; But...

Umm 8 grommets ???? for CDR that is a lot of bad grommets out there ? Now that I think of it I'll check my (2) 98s to see if bad/hardened beyond service life, Maybe if there is a need we could get one of our regular vendors to buy some and stock them +$9 ship & handling is some serious...

Not to digress too much( my apology to the OP for the derail) I'll add this: and if you want to discuss further we can do it in an independent thread in OT. JR you comments are noted, but be that as it may; New folks if we start using the sub forums like rest of the forum worlds do will...

Early on we sort of lumped all in one bag because it didn't matter with low traffic we had here, but traffic is up so we are trying to make the change so electrical goes to electrical, drivetrain to drivetrain etc. we move as makes sense if it isn't a model specific question/issue to where it...

Don I added to 6.2/6.5 TRL even though it is a electrical common problem all vehicles took me a while to find it as well as my searches were in this forum vs. electrical section where it was hiding out battery cables in electrical go figure :) I feel so dum looking here only :mad2:

Sticking the thread so it can be found later for reference

No a delay apparently :) or great minds thinking alike :)

It is called a compressor surge and bad ju-ju to the vanes of compressor/wheel if you surge it hard enough and a solid 1 piece part becomes a many piece part into the intake air tract the engine was not designed to nor likes to digest

Welcome to the site

Did you check alternator is it charging properly? how far gone were batts when replacing, bad batts kill alts, also look to last maintenance item, possibly did batt terminals loosen up since the batt swap, were connections cleaned to bright shiney clean, and a corrosion inhibitor applied...

Another thought, if usings a factory style lift pump, trash in the outlet check of it could possibly let fuel drain back to the tank and maybe lose prime and your modified in tank pickup sucking air at low fuel level ?

Did you use a 6.5 sock with check valve in it or a gassser sock, it makes a difference, also does your former gasser tank have the baffle in it to keep from air being sucked into the fuel system in a turn with low level in tank sloshing over to one side?
