    Rebuilding a GM8 turbo,show and tell

    Geeze Bison, you must be bored and overloaded with free time. Not too bad for a lazy ol' canuck. :)

    Feed your diesel 6.5 addiction here burbmania on fleasbay!

    I like the 3rd one with a 9' Boxed Plow. Thats a HUGE plow for that! Great for cleanup, but in a large storm you'd get more than you can chew fast I'd think.

    lowering compression: shaving pistons or shortening stroke, or thicker gaskets...

    Sure would be cool. Data Logging gauges would be ideal for this!

    HID BACK UP LIGHTS FOR 88 & UP Chevy GMC

    Too funny Leroy. :) Lol... Super dangerous Buddy! Those tailgaters would be seeing sunspots for miles... Probably give them flash burns.

    Best Exhaust for a Tahoe?

    Being about 10 bux a piece, welding may be cheaper. I'd be just as happy with those Band clamps. The ONLY thing on my DE exhaust that is rusting is the clamps. 1/2 way throught the 2nd SALTY Plowing Winter and just rusty clamps. I did paint the system first. Not sure if that is helping or...

    You may be the PERFECT candidate for an ATT. The 6.5 Really likes to pull around 2700-3000.

    seat covers

    Those sure are nice Mike! Perhaps some foam cushion material where I'm missing a chunk, then a nice set of these covers would restore the inside of my tiny cab nicely!! I think the Black with bright red middle would dress her up nicely!

    Best Exhaust for a Tahoe?

    Do that. Bring it to a exhaust shop and let them put it on a lift and make it fit and maybe even weld it in. Easy work for them once they have that kit in hand. It only took me a few hours by myself on my back to do my exhaust, I can't imagine it taking a shop more than 2 hours on a lift, and...

    Best Exhaust for a Tahoe?

    Get a diamond Eye and drop it off at a good exhaust shop and have them weld the system in. Paint it with HIgh temp grill paint first.

    Wow the Pugg revv's so silky smooth! That thing is awesome! As long as gauges in check, and you're not in a rush the 6.5 will pull strong I think. I'm sure that thing is geared up the ass too.

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

    Looks nice, assuming all is good condition engine wise very clean truck. Being a stallhappy, old, outdated pickup that they probably took as a trade in *perhaps from a lifer who took really good care of her* they may let it go for 3000 CASH.. Only one way to find out. I don't think I'd pay...

    My Twin Turbo 6.5 (GM4 & GM8)

    Cool man. I'd go easy on the boosted launches..... The ol' girl wants to live to race again another day!

    A-arm Bushings

    I would love to have fresh bushings, mine are beat to hell. What type of shoppe would do this? Autobody? Mechanic? I wonder how much in labor to have it done??

    Anyone have experience with Air Dog A45PBC087 Lift Pump on 1996 6.5 TD Suburban?

    If you're running 9PSI before the FFM I'd bet your at 6-7 or so at the IP. I have read in the past that these IP's are safe up to 14psi AT THE IP INLET. I believe it was Diesel Pro who is a reputable forum member and rebuilder who offered up this safe PSI information. Take it for what you paid...
