On civilian 6.5's the CDR sits on top of the passenger side valve cover. I have looked and looked but cannot figure out how the CDR is plumbed on military engines. No hole on the valve cover. Any insight from anyone here would be helpful.
All,
Its been a while. I'm trying to determine when and what vehicle the DS2831-4911 injection pump was used. I could not find anything on the sticky or on a search thru the threads. Any help would be appreciated.
So I have an opportunity to purchase a 6.5 core motor with all of the injection lines, manifolds, injection pump and accessory brackets. They got the motor out of the truck, a 92 or 93. The block casting number is 14022660. Underneath appears 3-2-81. So it would seem to me that this is a 6.2...
So I have been working on my 1985 Chevy K30 Crew Cab Short Bed conversion now for about 8 months. I finally decided to stay with the 6.5L motor and having the axles fitted with 4.56 gears. So unless a complete rebuildable "599" motor comes my way I found a "599" short block at one of the local...

So the question of the day is this. In talking with Matt Koenig at Peninsular Diesel, the only things compatible between the Optimizer/P400 engine and the GM 6.5l TD are the external parts. That means that none of the internal parts are compatible between the old GM and newer GEP engines. So if...
I am working on my frame off restoration on a 1985 Chevy K30 Crew Cab short bed. I am trying to decide on an engine. A big part of me wants to keep everything GM against the conventional wisdom to dump the 6.5 and stick in a Cummins. I am not finding a lot of information or guys sticking a 6.5...
I need some help and Bill Heath gave this site a thumbs up when I talked with him this past week. I have a 1985 K30 Crew Cab. I have modified the frame to accommodate a short bed. It is going to be a complete frame-off restoration. I would like to keep this all GM including the engine. I am not...
