    02 Dmax 2500 6.6l - Black smoke

    Thanks man, good lead. I'll look into that. Sounds logical, would explain black smoke and poor mileage.

    88GMCtruck's 99 6.5L Towpig slow build.

    Those handles look a tad out of place. I think the 02 style recessed ones would look better? However, they are the most stout handles possible. They would look good on my truck!! :) Someday I'll get a set for me. If you ever want to sell em, lemme know.

    02 Dmax 2500 6.6l - Black smoke

    What type of turbo do these have? Wastegate? What controls boost? From what I've gathering it sounds like he either doesn't have enough boost, or the computer is dumping in too much fuel. It's a stock truck.

    02 Dmax 2500 6.6l - Black smoke

    A friend of mine called me asking me about a customers Duramax. Here's what I have- which isn't ideal, I know. 02 Duramax 6.6, around 100,000 miles It recently had a 'sensor' replaced costing around 700 dollars, and found out there injectors underwarranty that could have been replaced...

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

    LOL, Who actually does stuff like this??? :)

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

    Talk about extremes!! That's a scary long ride in any vehicle. I'd almost trust an older one more than a brand new one just because it's been tested and proven. Canada doesn't even bother to build highway's I see.

    One whine, two questions

    Sounds like a great idea. Don't hear about it too often on these forums people changing their TC's out for diff stall speeds to achieve different power ranges and/or effeciencies.

    One whine, two questions

    Great thread I also agree. Really makes me want to switch to synthetic Tranny fluid now. Buddy, what difference would lowering the stall speed give to you if you are always cruising around 1500rpm OD? I thought I had everything understood until you wrote this, and now I dont' understand what...

    starting a cool conversion....6.2l/6.5l hybrid swap into a 1993 dodge short box

    My new to me 6.5 L TD motorhome

    It's still the exact same motorhome it was 10 posts ago, before this CarFax. The guy is a lyer is all. If it checks out and you want it, get it!

    My new to me 6.5 L TD motorhome

    I often think that slow heavy vessel to push around is less abuse on an engine. Here's why: RPM ranges are always gradual. Never 'hammering it' up to redline fast and / or often. The vessel being so large forces you to use slow, weight management movements to control inertia. Young kids...

    Speciality Tools For The 6.2 - 6.5s

    Most important to me is the internet connection to TheTruckStop.US. Dead serious.

    Are these tires gonna handle the weight??

    That may be to beef up the tow rating somehow... I like E tires myself, but you get a better ride out of the softer tires.

    Are these tires gonna handle the weight??

    well, multiply that by 4, and your at 10,404 And for it to be rated at that weight, it can probably handle twice that before it fails. I wouldn't worry about it unless you start to really tow heavy on that rear axle.
