Sorry guys, the old 6.5, while being faithful for many years, has moved on... I bought a 2015 Ford, F350, dually, Lariat, Platinum, 6.7L Super Duty. Just a deal that was too good to pass up. Now I won't be afraid to pull just about anything I want. Here's some pics, and I promise to poke my head...

So I went for an oil change for my truck yesterday. This is not a very good pic, from my cheap old cell phone, but you get the idea. Squirrels had built a nest in my air filter box! I haven't been driving it a lot lately, but at least a couple of times a week!

Hi all. We still haven't upgraded to a Duramax yet, but I am starting to get serious. Looks like we will need it by next summer. I did some research about towing capacities and this is what I found; Following from http://www.campinglife.com/tow-ratings-database/ FYI. I really think I want to...

Hi all, I also posted this in in the 6.5 section, but wanted to post in the Duramax section as well. I hope that is OK. We are thinking of selling the truck in my sig. Here's a pic http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/alb...chmentid=20039 and there is more in my album. It runs great, and has only...

Hi all, I hope I'm in the right forum for this bit. We are thinking of selling the truck in my sig. Here's a pic http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/album.php?albumid=431&attachmentid=20039 and there is more in my album. It runs great, and has only about 60,000 KMs on the new long block. We just...

Is it possible that VW IDI diesels use the same injectors as the 6.5? These sure look like it... Take a look at what I stumbled upon; http://vincewaldon.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=20&Itemid=28 Art

Wanted to start a new thread as I have questions and didn't want to hi-jack vaicase's thread. Just finished doing my new GPs and injectors. All of the Bosch variety. They weren't that old, but the GPs were the old WAPs, and wanted them out of there. Just figured I may as well do injectors as...

Hi all. Been awhile since I posted. About a month ago my "fishbite" was back. Removed the optical filter (if that's what it's called) totally and fish bite was gone. BUT the real cruncher came on the way back from the lake, not towing, about 3 weeks ago. The transmission would not hold in...

A little over a year ago I bought/ordered a new FSD. The old one is remotely mounted on a heat sink, on my home made mount, behind the license plate holder in the front bumper. I had simply moved it, heat sink and all, from the intake several years ago. It wasn't really giving me any trouble...

Check my sig for my truck specs. It tows my 30' Dutchmen, at about 9000 lbs with no problem. The wife (God bless her soul) is now looking at a used Hitchhiker Champagne edition 5er, that states GVWR of 16,500 lbs. Do you think my 6.5 can handle that? Or am I looking at a truck upgrade (Dmax) as...

I just had this item pop up in my email, from scam.com, regarding our favorite rip off artist. Looks like he is still trolling around. Thought I would share for some of the newer members to STAY AWAY! http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?p=874401#post874401 I was hoping he had been put to rest...

I was going to order a new FSD and resistor from pensacoladiesel.com (not from their EBay store). It was actually cheaper at ther website than at their EBay store. And when I went to check out, my computer came up with a site certificate warning, highly recommending that I not go any farther. So...

Last week I had the infamous fishbite described above in my title. I searched and checked and came up with just as Heath discribed in; http://blog.heathdiesel.com/2005/06/intermittent-fishbite-type-misfire-or.html So I took the intake plenum off, took the existing harness out pic below...

OK, noises under my truck. Discovered at least 1 U joint is bad and the hanger bearing is toast. I have pulled both drive shafts and have no trouble with replacing the U joints. BUT How do you get the hanger bearing off and new one on?? Art

I will be doing Heath's cooling upgrade starting Tuesday. Including pulling and cleaning the hell out of the radiator. I will plan on taking a bunch of pics to create some sort of "how to". But in the instructions it says to use an "anaerobic sealer". I've googled it and found out that it is a...

Ordered from Heath a 3 gauge pillar, boost gauge, turbo master, vac pump delete belt, HD cooling system upgrade kit. Maxi-tork GLE prom. complete 4" exhaust, crossover, and pyrometer. High cap trans pan and trans temp guage. Bill Heath recommended the GLE prom as all I want to do is be able to...

I just got off the phone with Bill at Heath. Ordered a cooling system upgrade kit. Maxi-tork GLE prom. complete 4" exhaust, crossover, and pyrometer. High cap trans pan and trans temp guage. And spoke with him for quite some time about a fly in trip he took to Lake of the Woods a few years back...

Here's the deal and before anyone says check the grounds, I've done that. All checked and cleaned. The problem I'm having seems to come from only one circuit. That is the Orange circuit coming off the ignition switch. It feeds/controls CRUISE, 4WD, BRAKE, and HEATER A/C. All other circuits work...

Hey Gang. I've searched this and other forums and found nothing. Although I don't post much, I "snoop" around in this and the "other" forum all the time for the last year or so. Lots of knowledgeable people and ideas out there. My truck gives me 3 or 4 knocks which seem to be coming from the...
