Everyone hates these diesels for some reason. My buddy plowed with his for like 20 years and 400k miles.

[@AnotherMotorist]

What is there to hate? I got a gasser 5.7 k1500. Great except for gas mileage but that's con is worth all the pros

[@ChevyConQueso]

The 6.2 had some pretty serious issues early on which are well documented. The 6.2 and 6.5 were both behind Ford/International and Dodge/Cummins in power and reliability at any given date, and they are bested by IDIs, PSDs, and Cummins 12 and 24 valves in performance potential. I definitely don't hate them but I'm damn realistic about what they are, and an anecdote about a good one isn't going to uncrack blocks, uncrack cranks, replace head gaskets or cracked heads. It is what it is. Enjoy it for what it is. Most people can't because of experience with the competition.

​@@ChevyConQuesoApparently the GM stuff was junk, the newer Optimizer 6500 and b400 are supposedly very good. Never heard anyone with one of those complain.

I LOVE mine!

[@andreworcutt2351]

I'm like 42k from a million miles once it hits a million it will roll over 😅

Would love a video of your setup. Lot's more of 6.x series GM diesels on KZbin recently. Love it. Might start to upload myself.

[@seanmckay3392]

I've got a turbo from a humvee 6.5 back when I went to Iraq in 2002 serving in project Iraqi freedom

[@josephraschke3495]

When were you there

[@gentilejoshsaved1646]

I'm in southwest montana with a 94 6.5 suburban, same color but no grey. They are cool rigs.

[@frayziedaisy]

My dream truck

[@backwoodsbandit9433]

I put a 5.7 mildly cam and a single 76 in my truck right before it wrecked it’s hilarious that the big original Detroit non turbo kit is pushing a lot more Than can get hooked cold

[@stevebento2711]

This thing sounds so good. What do you red line at with the tune? Sounds like a dmax when it's ripping around 3k

[@ethanschocke333]

These can rip at 3500

[@WARD5KUSTOMZ]

Currently working on my 99 c1500 burb that I swapped a 6.5 in. What have you got for exhaust? Sounds good

[@kenkaniffify]

One legger.

[@stonewondercloud8432]

What’s your engine setup? I have a tired 6.5 and want to do a total overhaul.

[@user-cf3ii1sc4p]

The cameraman - are you OK, bro? Stop moving, man! Stop moving!

[@aciid17]

So awesome ! What you got done? I got a hx35 and raptor g4 and a tune and doesn't sound that sweet

[@gruposhelem3422]

Hey compadre I’m sorry to ask you What turbo you used?

[@stephanchristie4802]

Dayum like a growling lion

[@danielellis6695]

What’s exhaust setup are you running

[@yamahar192]

Please help I have a 1996 chevy 3500 6.5l turbo that I just picked up I have no knowledge on diesels this is my first truck but i do know my way around the tool box . Truck seems to act like it wants to start , black , and some white smoke seems to be in the mix in between trying to start . I even tried jumping the glow plug solenoid it seems to want to run more when I do that , at times the starter starts to spin faster on its own and at times seem like it's gonna start but doesn't . Engine shakes as it fires but no start .. I can hear the lift pump working and the bleed screw on the top of the fuel filter does push fuel out when opened an key in the on position and smoke is coming out of the turbo like burning diesel smell so fuel has to be getting to the injector and burning some if also smoke it coming out the tail pipe and the smoke coming out the pipe is pretty decent clouds . But I just can't get the thing to start . As I said I just picked up the truck it was in pieces and I put it back together . Owner said he put a new injection pump as I can see someone has been in there because there was and old pdm still bolted to the intake on the engine which owner didn't bother remove and the current pdm installed on the truck in its factory location on the pump . I plan to relocate once I figure to get the truck started . Could the optical solenoid be out of time and so could moving it and advance it it help the engine start but ilde high ? I'm not totally ready to give up on my first diesel and certainly like the challenge to trying to figure it out . Please help I'm poor and don't have alot of money I can't really afford to take it to a shop

[@camachofrank9968]

Those 6.5 motors were good, but that electronic diesel injection system was a nightmare. Definitely check the pdm box that is connected to the harness and check the harness as well. If possible remove the module on the injection pump and plug that one in to see if it changes things. Also be sure the filter behind the injection pump is bled properly. The pdm box module is most likely the culprit.

[@WintersMachining]

4" lift on 35s? Love the flaps how did you mount them

[@SporeFromFinland]

305/70/r16. 3" suspension lift and 40mm (about 1.6") body lift. Flaps are mounted with self made semi truck style hangers which I have attached to the frame.

[@WintersMachining]

@@SporeFromFinland love it! I have a white '99 6.5 suburban. Great rigs

[@agustingalvez57]

No black smoke.

[@currentlyexisting8680]

What kind of tune are you running?

[@SporeFromFinland]

Quadstar multi position tuner

[@julianlaustsen1991]

what have u done with software?

[@SporeFromFinland]

Quadstar tune

[@traciweisenbachCITB]

Very nice GMC!!

[@michaelbefumo-qg7ji]

They were okay, there's something on front of engine,l think a solenoid and it's in a bad spot where it gets heats up and gets ruin,

[@vermillion.__-_.]

Shame its an auto, sounds awesome

[@johnjohny295]

Can it not rev over 2000rpm?

[@SporeFromFinland]

Yes it can

[@nthgth]

Think those go to mid 3000s stock.. not that they'd often need to

[@samsara2024]

Tire size and lift?

[@SporeFromFinland]

3" suspension lift and 40mm body lift. 305/70/r16 tires.

[@samsara2024]

Thanks! I am thinking to install same wheels but only 1 inch suspension lift. Do you think it is a good idea?@@SporeFromFinland

[@SporeFromFinland]

@@samsara2024 It probably depends on the rims. I have 10x16" et-44 rims and had to modify the bumper and the rear corner of the fender because the tires wouldn't fit.
