Mechanical 6.5????

[mountainmanpreparedness]

Is there a completely mechanical(without electronics of any kind) 6.5 Turbo diesel? OR is there a way to make one completely mechanical? I am asking this before I rebuild my 6.2 NA for my 1989 Suburban 1500(6-lug) :agreed: :haha:. Any done this? I have heard of guys taking Modern VW engines and converting them to 100% mechanical from computer controlled. :hihi:

1993 was mechanical with a separate TCM. Get a standard and there's no electronics.

For newer OBDI and OBDII trucks, swap on a DB2 pump and you're done.

There's a downloadable PDF on how to do it on the forums somewhere.

A search should turn it up.

Bobbiemartin is the poster.

Well, done after you deal with the 4l80e transmission.

Mine is a 93 6.5 It is all mechanical. The only electronics on it are: Power wire to fuel shutoff and Fast Idle solenoid, and the TPS to the transmission.

X2 on above. Your 89 should allready be fully mechanical. Only additional thing I can think of would be a mechanical kill hooked up to a cable, but that would require machining a new IP cover of some kind.
What trans you running?

92 came with the 6.5TD in regular cab only.

Mine is mechanical with a standard trans. From what I have found I have no computer.
