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...
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...

Just figure I'd heed Turbine Doc warning and change the bearing assembly...
