1992 6.5 projectish.....

A buddy saw this old girl the other day and told me about it. 80,000ish rebuild on the motor. Its 2 wheel drive but the body will be scrapped so its not a huge deal. Frame is in rough shape and blown brake lines, all the usual rusty stuff. The topper is in great shape though so that will recoup a lot of money. But for $600 I couldn't pass it up. It will be great for converting my truck to manual pump system.

Seats are worth some cash if they are good.

They're pretty dirty but we will see if I can clean them up. I do work for a carpet and upholstery cleaning company. [emoji2]

That's why I jumped on it.

Ive been reading the manual Bobbie Martin put out about the db2 conversion. Im assuming I should still need to get a transmission controller out of a van. I'm wondering if it matters if the van had a 6.5 or not. I can find a lot of them with 5.7's and 6.0's. Also will the 4x4 work or will I need to do something special for that? Upon reading farther it seems like I should just take everything out of the 92', harness computers everything and start fresh. but being as the 92' is 2 wheel how would I get the 4x4 to work?

 

[Nosferatu49534]

I would even consider putting the dash in from the 92' so all the connections and sensors, lights would match. I would think any way.

Has it got the wrong front bumper? Or did the earlier years not have the cutouts? I have Bobbies TCM from his truck. I got it for a project I never started. Make me an offer- I wont turn it down.

I think some came without the cutout for some reason. But I'm not 100% sure.

The cut out front bumper started in 93

the only computer on the 92 will be the TCM. you couls also get a US SHIFT Quick4 transmission controller from leroydiesel.

Being that the 92 is 2 wheel and my 97 is 4x4 does that make a difference?

 

[deejaaa]

difference will be the tone ring location for the speedo/cruise which is in the trans.

 

[Nosferatu49534]

Gotcha. I'm just trying to get all my ducks in a row before I actually dive into the swap. thanks for the help so far.

No... My 1992 6.5TD has the nose holes in the front bumper. Possible the NA engines had a different bumper? They offered 3 different diesel engines in 1992-1993 6.2NA, 6.5NA, and High Output 6.5TD.

Lol, nose holes.... Ill have to look up the rpo codes and see what they say.

Now that I think about it, you are probably right about the bumper because my father-in-laws neighbor has a 92 6.5 NA and it don't have the nostrils in it.

Every time we go see my parents-in-law and I see their neighbor I ask him every time if he's ready to sell me the truck yet. He ain't said yes yet.

 

[Will L.]

You lol nose holes.

High output 6.5 TD caught giggle

 

[Will L.]

Can I count these holes, even though there are 3?
