Hey all, just came across this place after picking up a 96 GMC Suburban with the :thumbsup: bulletproof 6.5TD. :hihi:

Looking forward to learning more about the traits of this motor and hoping to keep it healthy as it serves as toy hauler for the racecar.

Here's a quick pic of the rig as I got it.



Thank,
Jay Storm
 
Welcome aboard, Jay! You done found yourself the most 6.5-friendly site on the 'net. Spend a few minutes filling out your signature (click on the link in mine!) so you can show off your new ride, and get to know the guys.

Welcome to The Truck Stop Jay!

You found the right place for the care and feeding of your 6.5...;)
 
Hey all,

Thanks for the warm welcome! Looks like everyone got the joke in my description of the 6.5 as bulletproof! I've actually been really happy with it so far. We havent made any long hauls yet, but so far it's much more comfy than the Ranger we've been using!

The racecar is a Subaru Impreza (non-turbo) that I race in SCCA solo competition with a future home in hillclimbing. Its no longer street legal and wouldn't be too useful anyway......what, with it's 3gal fuel cell and all..... I've dubbed it the MOB.... "Most Overdeveloped Beater".


Back on topic, this truck came to me from a friend who also used it to tow his race car around (real formula racecar for the nay-sayers) but now just pays people to haul his stuff for him. He did the upgrades for towing and reliability which made it a great deal for me to step into. As I learn more about the 6.5, I hope to be able to contribute more to the forum. Otherwise, feel free to slam me for newb questions and anything else.... lol!

I tried, really I did.......it did not save for some reason. I'm not even sure I have administrator blessings yet, as I am still blocked from viewing attachments others post!

I'll try again!
