I took the injector lines off so it’s easier to clean up the intake holes. I’ll install the intake manifold after I do the coolant pressure test. I can not do the coolant pressure test until the thermostat shows up at the parts store. Hopefully tomorrow...
I deleted the glow plug sensor. I...
Then I temporarily installed a 6.5 oil cooler with lines and driver side exhaust crossover. (Waiting on parts for the Passenger side)
I found a fitting in the spare parts to block off the water crossover hole for the heater core hose.
I cleaned up the turbos top oil filler fittings and put...

After getting the kids ready for school, I took a nice long nap! Lol!
When I woke up, I cleaned the Garage and then installed the old used injector fuel return lines after cutting the ends to make them fit snug. They were special ordered years ago because they are heat resistant with fiber...
I bought a new alternator for the passenger side. I tried 3 higher amp alternators but they were too big and hit the banks turbo casing. Ended up doing the 105 amp as it’s the best fit.
After running back and forth from the auto parts store about 6 times... I finally found the best fit Gates...
Knowing the 6.5 powering steering does not fit. I knew it would not fit without the 6.5 bracket. It was just a mock up to show you all.
Anyhow, I installed the 6.2 powering steering pump from ORD (Off-road Design) and did a series of test fits with the different pulleys from the 6.5 parts. 6.5...
I mocked up the 6.5 powering steering pump and it does not fit without the 6.5 bracket.
I installed the hard injection lines.
I installed the return to fuel lines, lift pump hard line and bent them according to the Banks instructions.
Something I am trying on my 6.2 motor is the 96 single thermostat cross over with the restricting thermostat. It does the same thing as the restricted fitting that is sold. Temperature testing will be coming soon on my motor stand.
I’ll test fit the 6.5 and 6.2 power steering pumps and let you know. I’m sure my 6.2 power steering pump will fit perfect with the serpentine pulley. I am thinking the 6.5 bracket might require the 6.5 power steering pump to align it. Will see in a few days. I have an overnight run at work...
I am not going to bore you guys and gals with all my failed attempts to make this dual alternator serpentine belt system work without a/c and without the vacuum pump.
So to get started here’s what I did...
I used the 6.5 1996 Tensioner with bracket and alternator and put it on the passenger...
Spent a few minutes today on the motor. I got the fluidamper back on
I made sure the aluminum crank pulley aligned up with the water pump pulley before installing the crank bolt.
I went to the loco auto parts store and could not find the 4 bolts needed for the crank pulley so I drove to Ace...
