Howdy y'all, JC if anyones done a 6L auto trans swap on a 6.5 turbo diesel? Or a 10L? Tbh, I started loosing some knowlege after the 4L60/80 trans and much more so after the 6L80/90 JC how a setup of a lets say, a very high quality build with a p400, set up for a 'consrrvative' 375 hp rating paired to a 6 spd would perform towing vs lets say a stock LBZ with the 5 speed Allison in very variable hilly/mountain terrain with 15,000 pounds in tow? Many thanks in advance for any opinions on that. Much appreciated

It's absolutely a buy once cry once kind of tool. This was my step up from an import TIG, which itself was about $3000 all in. This stuff does get expensive, but you're onto something. These really are for the person who loves to fabricate, and would be a bit much for folks that just need a hardware store MIG to occasionally run a bead.

I just discovered your channel trying to find anything i can about chassis buulding. I have a 69 gto im building and discovered that the centerline from the front wheels to the back of the car is an inch off from the centerline from all of the body mount points to the rear of the car, it graduates to an inch or so by the time it hits the rear axle. So i either need to have it straightened, buy a frame from another a-body or do what you did and build a chassis. Any advice you can give would be helpful. Im trying to build something custom, but metal costs these days are just crazy. I cant imagine what all of that pre bent metal ran you even 4 years ago. Thoughts? Assuming you see comments on such an old video anyway 🤙

Boxing in I-beams increases the torsional stiffness a lot, which is important for vehicles, but isn't needed for the bending loads presses are subjected to. To increase bending stiffness, add plates to the flanges, or add triangulation as you did.

Hello, I have a question, is there any way to obtain a forged crankshaft for a 6.2 from around 83? I have one that I have to rebuild and if there is any way to get a better forged one because I don't want to have the risk of it breaking and having to throw away the block because here in Uruguay the blocks have VIN numbers and you have to do a lot of procedures to change the engine and they are not possible either, thank you and sorry for the inconvenience and my English

The forged stuff is only for one piece rear main seals, and pretty much all the 6.2s were two piece.

@@WillometMotorFab I used to weld right through that etch primer ? Maybe it was a weldable primer ? 20 years ago now ? But kept the surface rust off until you could paint the whole deal. Less work than scuffing the whole surface before paint.

You definitely can weld through either of those with MIG, but it spatters and gets messy using TIG, which is pretty much my exclusive. It actually stays really clear of rust as long as I don't sweat on it!

I’m seriously considering balancing my 6.5. So far, what are your thoughts? Have you put it on a dyno yet? Does it actually run smoother due to balancing it ( like it should)?
@WillometMotorFab 2 ай бұрын
I will always recommend getting an engine balanced while it's out and taken apart. It's actually pretty cheap compared to other machine work. My 6.2 was balanced just like this 6.5, and they're both noticeably smoother through the RPM band, but especially above 3000. I've taken this up to 4000, and it sings the whole way. I doubt I'll dyno this setup. There's little value in getting on the rollers with 40s and a lot of gearing in the transfer cases.

Hello and thank you for this video. But at 8:22 you don't mention something that I can't figure out. The 6.5 rebuild book says to rotate crankshaft until the "mark" is at the 2 o'clock position. Then rotate CCW 3.5 inches until the "mark" is around the 12:30 position. WTF is all that? What mark? I have a fluid dampner balancer with all kinds of marks on it. The zero mark? I am stuck and scared because it says improper install will lead to breakage. Thank you for any and all help
@WillometMotorFab 3 ай бұрын
It’s probably talking about the timing marks on the chain or gear set for the cam and injection pump. The gears and sprockets only go on one way and have dots punched on them so the cam and crank are correctly oriented to one another.
