    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    OTC has a socket too for the 6.5 injectors.I think it’s part number 5060.

    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    You can do it with the turbo still in place.Once the heat shield is removed upon the passenger side valve cover it’s not too bad of a job then.

    Changing EFI Fuel Injectors

    I’ve done business with accurate several times without issue.Tim stands behind his products and will be there if you have a problem.He also answers any emails you send his way.I’ve bought two sets of stanadyne Italy 6.5 injectors from him in the past with no problems and had him rebuild two sets...

    Seems like a huge misrepresentation

    $12,500….even for a package deal for two engines it’s still a boat load of cash.Nothing really fancy about it EDIT:I see the price is now $8500.So I guess that’s what he wants for one engine I’m assuming.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Nice find on the new DB2.I once found two new pencil DB2 pumps for our 5.7 diesel some 15 yrs ago.It was definitely wonderful to come across those.Definitely like finding a needle in a hay stack.

    bad 6.5 crank and 6.2 donor?

    If that 6.2 has a 599 block then that crankshaft will be the same as what your 6.5 has because of the 1 piece seal design.A scat crank will work also if you go that route.

    Thanks for the confirmation on that.👍I wasn’t aware of it.I figured they were cast nodular iron for some reason.

    Is the forged crank a new option that’s just happened recently?If so that’s certainly great news.

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    Hey everyone.A couple days ago I finished up the fuel system upgrade on my 96 gmc.I know WILL suggested I put the regulator as close to the fuel pump as possible although I liked the idea of monitoring the mechanical fuel pressure gauge under the hood and make adjustments to the regulator as...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    The driver side glass is now ready to go back into place on my 96 gmc truck.The dorman replacement track is all bonded in place.I was going to attempt to get the old piece off but didn’t want to risk breaking the glass so I had the glass shop do it.A new glass was over $400 when I asked about it...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    I had a look today to determine where to put the fuel pressure regulator and I think at this point I’m going to mount it on the firewall just above the transmission dipstick area. At least it’ll be in a decent place and out of harms way.I’ll have to make a basic custom bracket from some steel...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    This is how the setup looks once it’s mounted to the chassis.I was thinking of mounting the regulator on the chassis next to the fuel pump or do you guys think it would be better in the engine compartment in regard to the regulator? The bracket worked out great from Amazon.Its the 50mm version...

    learning to set timing on with a DB2 IP

    I like to spray down those areas with pb blaster as the arm can seize on the pivot point where the small pin passes through the housing.

    GM 6.5 TD engine poof problelm

    I had a 599 engine that ran great at one time but the outer bolt hole was repaired by welding and whoever repaired it did a very nice job on it.I sold that engine for $400 to a guy and some time later the crank broke off in it because the webs let go I’m thinking.I didn’t pull the pan to check...

    What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

    The diesel rx fuel pressure regulator arrived today so I’m pretty happy about that.I’m hoping tomorrow I’ll find time to get under the truck to install the new Sparta 7.3 lift pump and this new regulator.I bought a small mechanical fuel pressure gauge from Amazon that will also thread upon the...

    Leroy’s adapter plate and custom starter will definitely be needed if you decide to keep using that engine for a long time to come.
