HAA, when I seen the thread name I thought it was refering to a case of good beer or something LOL. I wonder how that stuff compairs to rotella t6 5w-40 synthetic, not to start a war or anything like that....

wood heat is the only way to go, I dont have to worry about power going out, or a large bill at the end of the month. on average, if I had to buy wood at 175 per cord, my wood bill would be 150 a month, MUCH less than gas or electric heat, which my place has, but I never use either.

check fuel pump relay, very common issue on those tbi trucks

Wood heat all the way in this house, I get the wood off of my logging sites, usually after the last load is hauled out there is a partial load of sawlogs or pulpwood, so that turns into my firewood deck

seems like a good price, that same truck around here would be worth 4000 dollars without the flatbed.....not worth 4000 of course but for sure worth 2500, I look at it like this, what could I part it out for, rear axle 300, front end parts 200, engine 500, tranny and t-case 500, hydroboost 100...

I sure wish I could find more info on the elusive ATS turbo setup, I called ATS and they know nothing about it cause they were bought out after those 6.2 turbos were discontinued. I think you fellows for the detailed info, it helps me and others also understand better.

too burned out on wrenchen right now, that engine would have to come out to do head studs ARGGGG. sounds like a good summer project

thanks for posting that website, now Im gonna be in trouble with the wife after a tire purchase LOL

wow, I want some of those guard dogs

ARGGGGG, 12psi is were the engine feels like its waking up LOLOLOLL

I dont know if this is wierd or not but the 6.2 pulls ok under 10 psi boost, but above 12 it really gets with the program, I mean it really goes... I know a little about thermal dynamics and how boost on 6.2's cause too much heat from boost so it limits power, but how does this thing pull better...

Were did you purchase those brand of tires??

thats kinda what I was thinking, 12 max boost, just wanted some more feedback into the matter other than my own, thanks.

it would be nice to have another block 6.2 or 6.5 around my place. With a spare crack free block I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside. non left is these parts anymore ARGGGG

correct, and I forgot to say Im running a 5 inch hood stack right off the down pipe, so no backpressure.

I got my k5 blazer swapped over to a 6.2 that has a Ats turbo on it. No egt gauge on her yet argggg. I do have a boost gauge:rolleyes5:. Engine is a stock gm goodwrench with a db2 pump turned up 1 flat of an allen wrech. timing is advanced by an unknowen amount:eek:. the consern, or should I not...

LIVE AND LEARN........when I bought these two engines I assumed the were crack free, I guess this is a hard lesson learnt, I was too lazy at the time to check the mains ARGGGGGGG

I take that back, the 1999 6.5 I had was a 506 casting, with the oiler holes in the lifter galley for the center mount turbo. Anyways if I was to get another 6.5 it would have to be a NEW optimizer nothing used, Im not risking that again.

ohh man, I love those pepperidge farm cookies, just finished off a box of those macidamina white chlocate ones....yummm

I just hope and prey that my wifes truck with the 6.5 and 160,000 miles holdes up, it runs great for now, atleast she dont tow with it. If that engine goes I would prolly build 6.5 with a 6.2 bottom end for it. The amount of time it would take to save for an optimizer block would be astronomical.
