My thoughts are that if the mods made to heaths motor are what it takes to get to even 400hp@fly(and have longevity); then it would be somewhat worth it_ when compared to the newer diesels cost, components, and weight. Also give more new found respect to the 6.5 platform.

First of all, got nothing but respect for Mr. Bill Heath. Has alot of dedication to the 6.5 and has helped myself out the past(3x) on my hicups. But really surprised no one has commented on the article in last month Diesel Power Mag _ where they did a follow up on Heath's Landspeed 6.5 and on...

I'll know more tomorrow but, it looks like they body shop found more/previous damage and said that it probally won't ride straight and recommend not to fix it. Got another question, would swaping the motor and 4x4 into a gasser 2dr be fessable or practable.

Had to join in the 6.5ers interrogation of u guys? What is the weight (lbs) of a 6.0?

Dura-ration _LOL! Just got a check for $2900 - 250deductable from ins.(I thought mabey $1500) And saw a sweet 2DR on E-Bay like mine navy and black and got fired up again about the old tahoe. So now I'll be talking to the body man and see if he'll work with me -to get the tahoe where I...

Just got into a wreck yesterday- stupid move when it was pouring -thank goodness no one was injured. Now I have a delima- Im tired of pouring money into the Tahoe even thou I love the looks and fuel is at a very low cost to me. But I cover a long distance(250mi round trip) for work and a mpg...

No nuts, must be light duty. LOL! No seriously, it must be rebuild time. Is it easier to just swap rear ends or have at it?

please, any updates?

The first one of both will always take the longest. I had rented the ball joint press and bushing strike(put this inside the press, and with impact gun it goes at a steady pace)-for taking out the metal insert of the rubber bushing. Then use a mapp gas torch to remove the rubber bushings, they...

Another Update Ok- I definatley thought that the tires were causing the vibration, because the front tires had- a chop wear pattern; and so in despiration I got a used set. And so after I got the 265/70-17 Nitto Terra A/T mounted with Balencing Beads in them and no exterior lead...

matuva- awesome pics in the garage!!! and the truck looks good too (lol). no seriously I would love to live there on the post you said ''counter clockwise'' but arrows indicate clockwise direction (that isn't like when you flush the toilet it rotates the opposite direction - lol just...

ireburb -will definatley put the beads when I get a new set of tires i'm thinking my motor mounts definatly need replaced but also i was checking the front tires and the tread looks like it is wearing funny, and low speeds I have a shimmy so just wondering if any one else ever had a...

rockauto.com has great prices, that who I bought -timenken and moog parts for almost half the price

Update - Still Vibrates Sorry havent worked on the truck in a while, got caught up on another project- squirel! Changed the rear driveshaft U-joints- and it still vibrated. (off the pair the rear was shot, front was good) Then I R&R the Tranny Mount- and still vibrates. Trying to do a...

Matt- new turbo is a perfect time to reroute/upgrade exhaust. DO IT!!

JASONSMACK @ the other site has pics of a girdle he machined out of solid stock that spans over the whole crank.

I was thinkin of higher injection pressure more for a fuel efficenicey gain (more mist - less fuel at once) or would it not matter b/c our motors are indirect injetion?

Does anyone know why the Marine 6.5 are Supercharged and have such high HP & TQ#s??? How can we get our Injection Pressure up?? Mabey retro-fitting a Cummins VE mechanical IP.

Read in Diesel Power MAg that a sled pulling guy swears by it.

GET SOME!! Great job on swap in progress and thanks for the pics! Will be going out to Tampa next week, mabey can stop by.-Mike
