That looks correct now. 190°-198° sitting still or running on flat ground. Jumping to 202°-208° on big climbs.

2 different questions were asked: Can a mechanical 4911 spec injection pump be used on a center mount turbo 6.5 engine? what has to be done to convert a non turbo 6.2 HMMWV to a center mount turbo? I’m not going to go near the good or bad of a 700R4 in such a vehicle behind a turbo diesel...

I know you have a 180° thermostat. However, 192°-198° is right where the engine lives with the stock 195° thermostat. Which starts to open at 192° and is fully open at 203°. Are you sure it is a 180° thermostat?

There is a special adaptor/bracket that bolts in at the rear of the head on the drivers side and then connects to the throttle assembly on the IP. Look for 6.2 diesel brackets since the 6.5 I don't think ever came with a non electronic automatic.

That was a good day. We had concrete to lay on and everything.

At past Rally events we have spent a good full day on the trails as a group. As mentioned already. What we can access really depends on the conditions of the trails and what is open.

Sounds great.

The nose cone of the starter is different on the direct drive starters for manual or automatic. The manual has a huge opening for the Bendix and the automatic has a very small opening. The automatic nose cone will not allow the starter to bolt up to a manual flywheel equipped engine. Since...

The 6.5 is the same external size as the 6.2. They bolt in just fine. The stock TH400 was available behind the 6.5 from the factory and handles it well.

Forgot the picture. I went down the road last night and recovered my still one piece belt and returned it with the alternator to O’Reilly’s today. Both had to be ordered. I should confirm all is well again tomorrow.

I had a really weird drive home yesterday. Jennifer and I went to Cabellas about 70 miles away. About 20 of those miles were done at 80 mph on the toll road with that speed limit. 2300 rpm, 3 psi boost, 700° EGT and 198° coolant to hold that speed in a pretty hefty head wind. All was good in my...

There has been a guy selling square body inside the frame down pipes on eBay for a while now. I think a body lift has to be done as well. Don‘t forget the crossover pipe fitment as well. Bolted up unmodified the front drive shaft hits it. The 6.5 turbo trucks were driver side drop independent...

If you are looking to put a Duramax fan on a serpentine belt 6.2 or 6.5. My suggestion is to get one of the heavy duty fan/clutch kits many of the 6.5 parts sellers offer. However, none of the 4 bolt flange clutch mount clutches will make the best use of the new bigger fan. To do that you need...

If you are talking about H2 17 inch wheels with the 35 x 12.5 tires which I think are 315/75 in metric speak. If you have normal Chevy 8 lug axles from a 3/4 ton or 1 ton. Then, the answer is kind of. The wheels fit just fine. The tires will not at stock height without a lift or cutting the...

Looking good Rich.

You should be good then. A porch chair cushion over the radiator and grill guard will help with mid section bruising. Stand on a stool, not the grill guard as well. This job is basically one looooooong one arm pushup. An impact with impact sockets make it a breeze.

I have taken a lot of these intakes off and have yet to find one where rust is an issue with the fasteners. Using an impact to remove the nuts from the studs is better than slowly turning the nut and stud by hand. The intake is there to make the air go through the air filter instead of...

You probably have the worst case scenario. Cracked injector line end. Or a severely scores IP flare fitting. Either way. Time to pull the intake and remove the lines yo inspect.

No O-rings on those lines. Just a metal flare that has to be perfectly clean and tight. A crow foot on a long extension from the rear will let you get in there to snug it up. If it is already snug. Then loosen a few turns and try pulling the line back a bit to let the fuel wash away any...

I also have done it with the intake still on. It wasn't pretty, but it can be done. Maybe some slight bending that will need to be returned to original getting the new one in. It has been a few years. Just cut the old one to get it out.
