    6.5 mechanical hackjob won't run smoothly

    No sir that is my fuel tank for right now. All the intake does on these is route air from the filter to the heads. Nothing more. All I had to do was plug up a few ports for oil pressure sensors and whatnot. My oiling system is completely contained, I have the radiator standing behind the engine...

    6.5 mechanical hackjob won't run smoothly

    I had a reason, I believe the db wouldn't fit where the ds was but It was a while ago so I can't remember for certain. Or it may have been something else

    6.5 mechanical hackjob won't run smoothly

    Haha ok a diesel you don't need any of that, the fuel gets sprayed right into the cylinder as opposed to going through the intake so you don't need it for a diesel, and the exhausts don't do a ton for test runs either. Theres oil in it don't worry, again there's no open areas like a gas engine...

    6.5 mechanical hackjob won't run smoothly

    I take that as a partial compliment, I go by the saying "you can't do it wrong if nobody knows what youre doing"

    6.5 mechanical hackjob won't run smoothly

    That's steam from the coolant that's trapped in the back of the black

    6.5 mechanical hackjob won't run smoothly

    So as the title implies I have a bit of a weird monster here. I pulled a 6.2 outta my k30 that decided it didn't want cylinder 2 anymore, and was given a good deal on a 1997+ 6.5 that had a dead DS4 but low miles and good compression, plus I wanted the turbo for a turbo 6.2 idea. However I saw...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    So I went and picked up a 6.5 yesterday that I found cheap, 95k miles for a few hundred dollars with everything on it. My plan was to rip the turbo setup and heads off it and slap them on my 6.2 and see what happens. One problem, the 6.5 has cracked prechambers. I know they're serviceable if...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    You're not wrong, an hour meter would be great to have here. There never was a PTO setup on this truck or any AC so there's not much reason to leave it running except exactly that, some people just refuse to shut them down lol. Even still though, excessive idling will usually leave you with...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    I believe the mileage on my engine is accurate as they've owned it since it was new, and it was never put in the road much so I don't think it was driven too far. The place wasn't a quarry per se, it was some type of a construction company. Not sure what they did or where they worked at, I...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    Injectors will go to a shop if I end up using them, found a complete 6.5 takeout not far from me for pretty cheap, so I'm gonna whip the whole top end off it and slap in onto my block. The 6.5 don't run, probably a bad IP, bit I don't know for certain. Once I slap the heads on I'll compression...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    Gp system was operational, truck actually started great. The company I bought it from was the original owner, Canton Valley Construction. I cleaned the heads up a little today, I'm gonna bring the injectors to the shop near me on Monday, they do pop testing really cheap and if they have to...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    It seems to have come mostly from the head, I didn't really see any of this when I drained the radiator. It being what's on the pistons could definitely coincide with a bad headgasket. No clue why there's be so much of it, maybe bits from the previous water pump? It was replaced fairly recently.

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    I have no idea what it was really, it was a construction company but this was their pit truck according to the id tags, and they said it was never really used on road. Also, while I was cleaning the heads earlier, some coolant dumped out, and this is what it looked like. Appears to be brass bits...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    I haven't yet, I got a little over excited to tear it down and may or may not have forgotten to do a comp check first. None of the cylinders look scored badly, minot scuffing in one or two but it's mostly just seeable, can't feel them with a finger or anything. I think what I'm going to do is...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    I'm not sure of anything got put in it like that, I don't really see why it would be, this came from a quarry of some type and never really left the property, I'm planning on pulling injectors today and seeing when the shops open

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    #2 still has to adhere to lower sulfur levels doesent it? I've never seen coolant leave deposits like that though. There's a reputable fuel system shop over in New Haven that I was planning on going to, been there a few times now and they do excellent work. Just wanted a second opinion before I...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    Also as can be seen, the front cylinders in each side look kinda shiny, almost fuel washed, so I'm not quite sure what's going on here, the other 6 have spot deposits and/or that yellow stuff in them. Some minor scratches in one or two cylinders but other than that everything looks great

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    As the title states I'm looking for confirmation or direction towards the issue in this diesel put of a truck I just bought. It's an 88 k30, 660 code 6.2 diesel non-egr. The truck has 70k on it and as far as I or the previous owner know it's the original engine. They sold it because it started...

    How to tell cabs apart

    I know variants of this question have been asked before but I can't seem to find the the answer I need. I'm looking at swapping the cab off my truck, an 85 K20 Silverado, with a spotless, but totally stripped out cab a friend of mine has for really cheap. Thing is, I don't know if it's a 73-80...

    6.2 diesel exhaust system

    Wouldn't that be expensive though, or do I just have no idea what I'm talking about? I figured a shop would want a hefty sum to build me a full exhaust

    6.2 diesel exhaust system

    So my truck needs an exhaust. Badly. I see they have full kits on lmc and such, but they only have them for the SB and bb engines, none for the 6.2. Would one of those kits for a SBC fit a 6.2? Or if not dido anybody know a place that has exhaust kits for these engines? Because I've been looking...

    TBI exhaust

    Of the three, which do you think sounded the best? I was thinking about getting a set of super 10s since they're pretty cheap and seem to be the most agressive

    TBI exhaust

    What's the best exhaust for a 350 TBI. It's git long tube headers with twin 2 1/2 pipes down to two raptor mufflers. I was looking into new mufflers since the raptors not only sound pretty bad but they're kinda shot. What do you guys recommend for a more agressive sound? I would just run...

    Intakes

    Are the intakes for a TBI and a carb interchangable? There's a good deal on an intake, but it's for a carb. Will my tbi bolt onto it? I can't find anything about bolt patterns and fitment, and I don't wanna waste my money if I can't put my tbi on it

    High beam issue

    The terminals are in the angled configuration. I'll have to try switching the, don't know why I hadn't tried that. It only really stumos me because they used to work fine, then one day the issue started.
