Chevy K20 w/ 6.2 Diesel Mud and Hill Climb

[@ButternutTrucker]

The little engine that will. Can't wait to get one.

[@brookewoody8620]

pretty sweet still have it

[@Roadhog0]

Yup, still got it

[@Roadhog0]

@Mike Zona the truck gets about 15mpg combined and I see up to 17 on the highway. It's a very solid highway cruiser as built. Enough power to do it unloaded, a bit lacking loaded but still usable. She's going Cummins this summer though. I need the extra oomph to pull some trailers.

[@nathanwilhelm801]

@Mike Zona I have 4.10's in the truck. I would ideally go to 3.73 if I was to do it again. With the OD and the tire size that would cruise 70 really nice. Though if I was really to build it again I would probably keep the truck stock height. I wouldnt want to go any bigger than the 4" and 235/85R16 tires I have on there now. Makes the bed much harder to use.

[@pulsarflair]

So awesome! What kind of exhaust does it have after the turbo?

[@Roadhog0]

3" straight pipe to behind the rear wheels. Nothing crazy

[@Roadhog0]

@Mike Zona still got it!! Though it's mostly through a Cummins repower though right now

[@Roadhog0]

@Mike Zona I'm thinking 66 Chevy shorty

[@Roadhog0]

@Mike Zona Yup, still got it. A 6.2 wouldn't be a bad truck for that. Or find a 5.9 truck. Im doing the 5.9 swap and stoked for it.

[@skullcracker112]

I replaced my heads ( i blew a head :'(. ) And now that its all fireing up its running rough. Any ideas?

[@Roadhog0]

How long have you run it? Needs a few minutes to get all the air out of the lines once it's fired up after injector lines have been removed.

[@skullcracker112]

​@@Roadhog0about 10 to 15. I'm gonna see about reseating the hard lines but concerned about anything else

[@Roadhog0]

@@skullcracker112 if they're not leaking already I wouldn't bother with the hard lines. Maybe dirty injectors?? Good luck!

[@88gunnz94]

What turbo you runnin

[@Roadhog0]

HX35 off an industrial 5.9

[@88gunnz94]

🤔 hmmm beautiful truck by the way I also have a 1985 Chevy 6.2 banks turbo diesel it works great. What’s the psi?? Are you running a boost controller?? So for the question I’m just interested

[@nathanwilhelm801]

@@88gunnz94 It's a good truck! Hindsight in this video I was running a CKO HX40. I would see 15+PSI without issue. No boost controller. Had a wastegate on this one a while but took it off. I was running a 15PSI wastegate for a long while.

[@88gunnz94]

I’m think of changing the turbo but I don’t know witch one. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations on witch turbo I’m not looking For more than 15 pounds of boost I just want something better other than the banks turbo

[@nathanwilhelm801]

@@88gunnz94 I would look at an HX35 off a cummins. Very nice sized turbo for the 6.2. I wouldnt go over 8ish PSI if you dont have head studs though. Really good way to make a head gasket let go.
