Get this video to 5000 like and I will straight pipe this thing!

[@station107ga3]

Hey could you do something different and buy a project truck like a 5.4L Gasser, and build it I am building my 5.4L and your videos make it easy to understand Im struggling I want to put a Turbo into it, and a bigger cam but I am not that smart with this stuff!

[@osakachan2]

Straight pipe it for certain

[@Necro9901]

What ever you’re going to do it anyway. No 5K needed 😂

[@joewurz5408]

OK Josh there is a solenoid on the driver side that controls the waste gate on the turbos . Then there are 2 plastic lines from solenoid to the turbos waste gate check the line's they do rub through on anything they touch. Then check if there's is vacuum at the solenoid if not then check the vacuum pump it's on the passenger side front on the motor.

[@jesseshaw60]

Is your trailer a 25ft or 30ft?

[@green_03_silverado14]

Build the 6.5 build the 6.5! Old school build would be sweet!

[@StarHunter28]

I think if he is going to build one it should be in a surplus HMMWV

[@skolnation8426]

Just build the truck, brotha. You know you want to. We know you want to. We want you to. It will be awesome!

[@Robert_Mac77]

A 4 inch straight pipe would be really cool also make her whistle! Great video

[@Corey497]

I could listen to that engine idle all day

[@bs-pu3dg]

Throw a set of marine fuel injectors in it. Should be able to get a set pretty cheap and they supposedly add 40 horsepower, and it might fix the black smoke issue.

[@joelaidler]

6.5 injectors are mechanical. There’s no horsepower increase unless you up the injection pump output

[@t.l.robinson2162]

People put down the 6.5. It has design issues that are not its fault. I have a customer who has a 6.5 that has its issues fixed and some upgrades. It is stronger than an LLY Duramax.

[@chrisdigs]

Nah

[@michaellandrum6321]

The Ole rattle trap will always smoke but a set of injectors wouldn't hurt.

[@bignix23]

As a 6.5 and LB7 owner, I think I might know the issue. Delete that vacuum pump on the front of the engine and make the wastegate manually controlled with a spring, just-hook, and a wing nut. It seems like the vacuum pump is crapping out and making it not close the waste gate

[@Ageman6058]

Maybe but watching the speedo in this video the fucker runs pretty good. Can’t ask for much more out of 6.5 at least in my experience

[@bignix23]

@@Ageman6058 it seems to be slow compared to mine. And all I have done on my 6.5 is the wastegate vacuum pump delete and the spring set to 10 psi

[@connorbrandt3207]

@@bignix23my 6.5 moves pretty quickly because of the weight of it being a 2wd 1/2 ton the truck is completely stock

[@bignix23]

@@connorbrandt3207 mine is a 4x4 3/4 ton single cab that moves about 3/4 of the speed my CCLB 4x4 LB7 moves, so not too slow

[@dudestuff1557]

Add water methanol injection. That’d be interesting to see if it cleans the exhaust up.

[@jerstruckbuilds9212]

Straight pipe it !! To many quiet diesel trucks around 😎

[@aaronschocke2147]

I have been wrenching on 6.5s since I was a wee lad. I have never actually done any turbo or exhaust mods (surprisingly enough. Haha) Now is as good a time as ever! I have a PT Wiring Solutions HX40ii and a diamond eye 4" exhuast ready to go in!

[@rustydusty1111]

Can get a cheap boost gauge to see if you're actually making any boost. Vaccum pump is probably pooched. Could always wire the wastegate open to test.

[@tombowman2154]

It looks like an S10 sitting next to the red truck 😁

[@FoolintheRainSDMF]

Absolutely does lol

[@JLCmike4014]

Could be a few things on the 6.5L. A lot of times it was the wastegate control solenoid and the boost sensor. I’ve had it plenty of times too where the vacuum pump itself is bad. Yes you could delete the belt driven vacuum pump but then you’d lose your heater position controls unless you wired in an electric vacuum pump since those operate off vacuum.

[@gabeb.9128]

Man….. long travel pre runner for the dunes. You are so close to them. I wanna se you send it off test hill!!

[@petermitchell9046]

My 8 year old was given a 98 6.5 that needs a lot of work. It will be a big project but hopefully has a cool truck to drive when he is old enough.

[@Fidler_Lb7]

Straight pipe, cold air intake and a wicked wheel would get her singing for sure

[@eboi8209]

Crazy thing to me is my girl friends Dodge just like that broke down same way so I listened for the fuel pump it was working or so I thought lol after checking all fuses and swapping few parts off a parts truck I had laying around I thought let me see how much pressure fuel pump is putting out because it would start if you turned the key 3 times fast then crank it fire for 2 seconds bearing any pressure eventually went to 0 psi slapped new pump it was ready to go also do straight pipe on the 6.5

[@DanWoelders-fd5zd]

Follow the vacuum line from the waste gate it goes to a little vacuum controller valve thing that likes to go bad or leak and cause a no boost situation

[@13FloorsBelow]

I owned a 94 6.5 turbo. I miss it. I’m glad you finally got one. I messaged you about getting one a few years ago, maybe you finally saw it. Stick a 6v53 in it. That was my dream.

[@johnbrown2452]

If you pull the intake and cut out the plenum plate and add the wicked wheel 2 ;you’ll get more air and less smoke, FSD cool and change the resistor in the fsd to a higher # you’ll add a little more power.

[@joetaylor1141]

Could be a bad vacuum pump it controls the waste gate or just put a spring waste gate on it

[@charlesswearengin2404]

My dad bought his new in 98, after his passing I got the pickup. All 8 injectors was replaced and the turbo. It did whistle perfectly upon spooling up. I removed the huge muffler to a straight pipe and it really sounded excellent, and the only time it smoked was when I put my foot in it. Only real issue I had was the keepers on the valve would snap loose on the head.

[@DanWoelders-fd5zd]

Aside from that vacuum controller thing off the waste gate line to look for for the boost issue, you can buy a potentiometer and put it inline with the map sensor signal wire and it works as a boost fooler for those things. It has to be a 0-10,000 ohm potentiometer or something tho if I’m remembering right. Can find it online how to do it it’s super easy

[@warrengrumbley3679]

Black smoke is a sign of a fuel issue, white smoke is more inline with an oil burning.

[@bobreighnheart5071]

Put a wicked wheel on it, A k&N filter, 4 inch stacks and dump a whole bottle of hot shot fuel treatment in the tank, raptor line it and sell it !!! Maybe some newer stock wheels if you have some laying around.

[@Zack_Flinn]

To help with the smoke and just better driving experience take the vacuum wastegate off and put a manual 10 lb spring there are a few videos on doing that I believe Jesse pelkey here on KZbin has a video on doing a manual wastegate

[@karlwahlfield6462]

i might have to keep those events in mind!. i never realized how close to grand rapids you are, its a small world!

[@bbagley44]

Wicked wheel ii and 5" straight pipe!

[@hondabear6603]

I’ve always been curious of these being a little bit modded. I’d say put some power to that we’d love it!!!!

[@VanDeluxe87]

Dual stacks, one in each front box corner, strait pipe, pipes must be hockey sticks, not just strait up, and also remove the front rack thing. stacks only work on this truck because its a long box so it makes it look ok

[@jedhancock5611]

We need a stack! But only if you are not going to restore the old girl. Maybe a hood stack, then you could film how much it's smoking. Love your content, love the Sunkist. Thanks for all you do.

[@denverstaib1025]

Need to delete the vacuum pump controlled waste gate & put a mechanical spring waste gate on it, then you can dial in boost better, and make it more reliable.

[@station107ga3]

Hey truck master, love the videos keep up the great work!

[@CarlDillow]

Put a 4in on the 6.5 straight pipe

[@jamds650]

4in straight pipe definitely! My dad had a 97 6.5 with 4in and it sounded amazing!

[@MichaelBowen-mk6cg]

Yes straight pipe and cold air

[@ronniebenoit4081]

Get ahold of the A/C Delco injector cleaner... it may need some injectors

[@wannabeutuber1]

Full build on the obs pls ❤

[@tomdawson4134]

Coal is an indicator of lack of air. and too much fuel. I would be looking over your intake system, check for leaks/torn boots/loose clamps. If that is good, verify injectors aren't leaking down(puddling/dripping). Setup a camera, pull the injectors with the lines still attached and crank it over. Watch the spray patterns.

[@richardstone3980]

Keep the truck for us old school desel folks, for inspiration

[@thefordman3847]

You need to throw those bullet hole BFG all-terrain wheels and tires on that thing

[@TheGMMan]

Do a 8” bed stack! I did one on my 1986 6.2 Detroit that I put a turbo on and it sounds awesome!

[@StarHunter28]

I just got an AD for American Collectors Insurance that was over 30 seconds long, un-skippable, and then when it ended it stayed on screen with no way to return to your video, i had to close it and start it again.

[@jakeweiman6157]

For the 6.5. I’d get some cheap fenders and doors for it, do some wheels and a level on it and run it! It’s a cool old classic beater!

[@denverstaib1025]

LOVE 6.5 CONTENT!!

[@johndeereman2009]

Straight pipe for shure.

[@mechanicmike1236]

I Don’t know diesel’s at all, but I was always thought “rolling coal” was fuel related? So I am guessing injector issues, hard to tell but I thought it sounded better after putting the turbo on, I thought it sounded like it was mis-firing under power before. Any way, anything you do would be interesting to see! Take care

[@yzinger9878]

yeah im pretty sure its fuel related too because if engine burning emgine oil its gonna blow slightly blue smoke

[@GRMobileWash]

Loved my 97 6.5 Turbo! Stack it!!!!

[@jcgordon5330]

Josh that is one sweet orange truck

[@henryjeanor1362]

I definitely like the engine work videos over the pimp my ride customs videos, both are great, but I appreciate the problem solving of the engine repair.

[@4literfandaniel373]

I’m begging you. Please lb7 swap this rust bucket. That would be amazing 😊

[@thenotsojollyrancher-akate9516]

This question been on my mind. Why didn’t you start with a cleaner truck building the tangerine? There are a lot of rust free trucks in the west and south for not much money. Seems that would have saved you a lot on body work and nicer frame instead of all that freakin rust.

[@codyyellott117]

[@Ageman6058]

You should do a single stack right behind the cab. I had one on my 6.2. I did 2 and 3/4 straight back to the box then into a 5 inch stack and it sounded really sweet lol. I’d highly recommend it but you don’t seem to listen to your suggestions like sunkiss. Nobody said orange in the comments but it’s your truck man you do you.

[@jessepond7224]

Please keep and do a small build series

[@sixstringsid]

Put a manual waste gate on the detroit and be done with it. the vacuum system has probably failed.

[@ettiennenathan]

Finally some 6.5 content!!

[@ronthompson2366]

Show Ryan your new Turbo, lol. Try running a gallon ? Of injector cleaner through it.. Stickture. They are probably fouled pretty badly. Run a stack up through the bed. Beyond that, maybe you do some tuning on it. Use your electronics and check all the parameters. Then, put a fork in it and call it good. Shop truck.. parts hauler.. loaner.. plow .. winter driver, so your good rigs avoid the salt / deicer...

[@Zkline97]

Check for boost leaks. I’d imagine if that boot was full of silicone it was to try and remedy a crack in the boot or a poor seal.

[@maxsoucy7970]

I had a wobble fused to an extension trying to take out 6.5 turbo bolts

[@Midlifeglamping]

Those Rams are notorious for crank and cam sensors going bad.

[@jaredrandall80]

I bet money it's a fuel pump. I didn't hear anything when he turned the key on. I would definitely check to see if it has fuel pressure and then change the pump.

[@thefordman3847]

My guess is on that green Chevy is the exhaust is full of oil from the leaky turbo so I think you needed the straight pipe it

[@dkcustomtrucks]

Id really like to see you redo that 6.5 be a nice truck to have in the garage

[@codywidmeier3527]

the generic hx35 with the wicked wheel and 10cm housing was the best all around performance and sound. i tried the "super drag" hx40 with 18cm housing and the truck itself was loud as hell since it had minimal drive pressure.

[@DoggyDogYT]

How was the performance with that hx40? I'm installing one with a 16cm2

[@user-jw5yj6tj8s]

My gpa had a 6.5. It was proof anything under 200hp is reliable

[@clintonmaurer5758]

Heath diesel use to make a lot of parts for the 6.2 and 6.5.

[@darringusko8539]

I think you should fix what ever is wrong with it with only the cheapest Ebay or Amason parts. It would give you content plus show us if the parts are any good. We live in Michigan so we know where most get their parts.

[@blackndirtylmm1273]

Build the 6.5 make it sound great leave it looking like it does

[@codywidmeier3527]

i put a wicked wheel on my 6.5 china whirly boi "hx30". had to take comp housing to machine shop because china whirly factory has a 5mm +/- tolerance 😂😂😂. made it a year until i lost a cyl (ironically road-tripping to p/u two dmax (almost long blocks)

[@samanthaaugustine497]

[@tbiker99]

Try some internet injector cleaning remedies. Check your fuel pressure. (random thoughts) Straight stacks, if you can get it running clean. If you get to a point that you're not going to invest to get it running better, don't mess with the exhaust. Looking forward to the Dodge fuel issue.

[@Kevin-midmichigan]

Who's your go-to mechanic shop for a 6.7 cummins?

[@andreeriks6360]

Your vacuum pump is junk either replace it or just put a manual waist gate on it’s well worth it knock the vacuum pump off an get a smaller belt that way when it really goes out you won’t hear that problem

[@Ageman6058]

Stick with the original diameter back to a single 5 inch stack. It’ll rap and howl haha miss my highschool square body 6.2 I promise you won’t be disapointed
