6.5 diesel

ahhh the good ole gm 6.5 liter self destructing diesel... lol

I'm looking to build a chevy 3500 quad cab 6.5l diesel. I really dont see alot of them is there a reason? I want to build a diesel due to the gas prices around my house.
and let me know if anyone has a truck that im looking to build so I can see what Im getting into.I'm used to the damn s-10....
looking to upgrade (big time)

you cant use the injector pump off the locked up motor?

i been thinking about doin that , but that motor hasnt ran in 2 years so the pump is prolly worn out and no good anyway, plus its a 94(electric pump) and the 92 has manual pump, id have to change the harness, which i could prolly do since im converting my dually to gas motor anyway, why dont u just buy it from me i give ya the locked up motor too

I would if I had the moola......Wish I would have remembered cause Ive got about $2000 in a 5 spd swap that Im doing now...

keep the manuel pump if you end up tryin to get either one to run again... those elec ones are junk.

I second that!

What do you know, your just a D.J.

worked at a GM dealership from age 13 to 27 in oilfield/ farming community! I have seen many dead 6.5 diesels! 1994 being the worst!
Plus Bruce Springsteen wrote a song about it!
