Sorry yes I knew I was forgetting something. On my last suburban 95. I upgraded to the later 130gpm water pump and good fan clutch with duramax fan. Temp never rose at all towing my brothers 10k (boat and trailer) around numerous times.
Getting back into the diesel truck game for a DD and occasional tow rig.
Not 100% set on the 6.5 but im leaning towards one for a few reasons
I've had 2 6.2s and 1 6.5TD suburban before that I molded for reliability.
Easy to work on and parts are dirt cheap.
12Vs didn't come in crew cabs
I...
Was this ever done??? wanting to do the same thing and have located a wrecked 5 speed truck.
Guessing ill need the trans, trans tunnel cover, pedal assembly and clutch master cylinder from the truck and it will all swap into the suburban? only thing custom needed will most likely be the drive...
well I could not get one of the nuts of the injector pump to remove the front cover. A ton of crap in the way to get in there in the first place and then it wouldn't budge. So I checked the play in the existing timing chain and there doesn't appear to be much of any. So for now i'm not going to...
Perhaps, it was the first thing I bought before I even had the truck. I knew the PMD was original and bought it to take up and move it when I picked it up. But then I didn't want to remove the intake to get to it so I got a used one and will be mounting it up soon.
I think it was a Dorman Brand
Looking to put gauges in the suburban soon.
I know there is the 3 gauge pillar pod. but im looking to do at least 5 gauges so i'd need at least another 2 gauge pod to go somewhere.
I've seen them in the over head console but with the burban I need the rear HVAC controls to stay where they...
working on replacing a ton of other things right now but I did just remove the vacuum pump.
Is it supposed to sound like this?? sounds like a dogs squeeky toy

started tearing apart the front of the engine today... tomorrow this is going in
New HO water pump (60 more GPM than stock), harmonic balancer, crank pulley, crank seal, new gaskets for the front side of the engine, timing chain and gears, t-stat, HD fan clutch, Duramax fan upgrade, new Bosch...
Thank you!! Yeah I try to be not too much of a newb when I move to a new vehicle.... having an old 6.2 diesel burb a while back first introduced me to these vehicles a little bit.
Yeah my parts pile is growing and I'm going to get started on it tomorrow.
So far I've just installed my new lift...
changed out the CDR valve today..... old one was caked in oil and also found a lot of oil sludge in line running to air intake line. Cleaned it out and the oil off the turbo and put the new one in.
Here is a better video of the sound after I drove it to the trash dump

It's been something i've been kicking around but messing around with the timing gear, especially on the IP (since i've never done that before kinda scares me. Is there a good how to thread somewhere with some pics I can look at. It does make sense to change it since i'll already have the WP and...
yeah it may only do it when it is warm, i'm going to drive to the dump tomorrow to drop off my recycling and trash and shoot another video after I get back
