HX35 TURBO UPGRADE - 6.5 Diesel

[@willdrivesu7914]

I'm pretty new to the 6.5 so I definitely am enjoying your content and learning a lot. After taking it to the mechanic a couple of times and losing an arm and a leg in the process I'm looking at doing my own work, not just for the savings but for the peace of mind and the fun of doing it myself. Seeing there's a lot you can do to upgrade these and get rid of the engines weaknesses and wake the engine in the process is encouraging. Not that I'm trying to go fast, I'll take fuel savings, especially right now, xD

[@TheHortond]

I liked this video for the "pissing off hippy" line.

[@pschmidtke4011]

saying "hippie" in my house would have gotten me in more trouble than the "F" word! LOL

[@MobsterNine]

It does feel good to fix something yourself, and the projects always seem easier than I had imagined.

[@TheCarterHour]

Excellent Video! Got to love those 6.5 Turbo Diesels. Always loved how they sound. So many Diesels of today, are too quiet.

[@Yankeeprepper]

Agree! and the 6.5 has a really nice diesel rumble and chatter to it.

[@iam_ryanthelion]

@@Yankeeprepper hi, just watched your video and wondering where you got those cold air intake filter boots?

[@BAMAJiPS]

Old school diesels are the way to go. I have a 95 2500 4x4 i picked up for $600 and was able to pick up a spare low mileage 6.5 from a local who was doing a cummins conversion for only $300. So its fun to have two of these motors and a spare turbo etc. You can keep the new insane DPF and urea secondary fuel diesels. Idi and even more so the mechanical fuel injected diesels are the pinnacle in my book. Reliability and simplicity is what I like. Lets buy a new $65,000 truck that costs as much as a house as a status symbol. Think I'll pass on that whole status thing

[@MrErikw26]

That can be disabled by spitting in the DEF tank

[@Rattlerjake1]

Haven't owned a new vehicle since I bought an '82 S10. Sold it and bought a '74 blazer and drove it (still have it on the back 40), then bought a used '83 2500 suburban with 6.2L. I can usually by a decent beater truck for less than most people pay for one repair on a new vehicle. The money I've save in taxes, inspection fees, repairs (do all myself - haven't paid a mechanic a dime in over 30 years), I could probably by two new vehicles. Now I have two 92 Ford F350 duallies with 7.3L IDI's (one was free, and the other $1200, 6 years ago - and both run). What I really want is a '95 or older 3500 GM 4X4 dually and these videos will help me decide how to make a nice daily driver/farm truck. Do you, Yankee's Cabin and Coffee, have any info/opinions on transmissions for the 6.5L and bombproofing it? Thanks for the great info, as well as your other vid showing the 3 things to get rid of!

[@chrishansen7004]

Rattlerjake1 the auto transmissions are 4l80e’s and those are very reliable transmissions and are swapped into basically any gm hotrod, the only real way to bomb proof it is to do a complete rebuild with aftermarket clutches etc

[@consaka1]

Watching gauges can help keep you awake on long drives as well.

[@johnglover8419]

I always love the sound of a 6.5 turbo diesel. Great video!

[@AManWith_NoName]

Back in October on my way home from our local gay bookstore I looked down at my phone (it was hoco weekend, I had went hunting the morning after and was running on 1 hour of sleep, and also had a Bluetooth radio which auto answers calls and it scared me😂) anyways I looked to see who called me and didn't see the Pontiac stopped in front of me and wrecked my beloved 95...I've been in the process of rebuilding, just been waiting for some good weather. After finding your channel you've inspired me to fix my 6.5 the right way, not to cut corners and actually unlock what this truck is capable of😂it's currently 11:38 so I my have ran on here but thank you for actually opening my eyes to what my truck can do and how to go about making it better

[@walapopgonzala9301]

Okay so I know you just talked about it in your video but I instantly recognized the road you were driving on because I live right off of it. Not trying to be creepy or anything but it's cool to see a local youtuber who's videos aren't complete garbage. I just started watching and all I can say is keep up the great videos!

[@charlesbryan7184]

Great video again and you remind me of me ! I'm very old school and the 95 is my first diesel so thanks for the insight and research on upgrades. We share the same views on turbo noise. When I was in the Marines 68-70, we had white multifuel trucks. The whistle at an idle ! I loved them.

[@mcdsdaddy]

Great job Yankee! I think that I felt the local barometric pressure drop when you spun up that new turbo. Thanks for the great instructional video.

[@mahatma171]

Great little vid. I also own a 6.5L and have used it in 2 vehicles over the past 20 years. First vehicle was all mechanical, second iteration is electronic with DS4 pump. I've done most of the recommended upgrades and many other mods to ensure that the engine continues to run well. It's a 95 Suburban and it has been everywhere with all my family loaded into it. My GM-4 is still spooling pretty happily but I am considering replacing it with something more efficient along with a power tune or two to improve power and mpg. So far, I have the ATT turbo and this Holset HX35 on the short list. Again, thanks for posting this.

[@gabethedizzle]

You sir, are a national treasure. You need a series of videos on engineering solutions to everyday things that piss off hippies.

[@ronaldingleby8158]

My 93 gmc 1 ton 4x4 rides smoother than any other 4x4 ever made, so I am restoring it. I just sprayed charcoal metallic bedliner on the whole truck. It looks better than a new $70k pickup. I like your engine mods. My engine is next.

[@davidweindl3299]

Love that F16 sound. You taught me some stuff about boost today I never knew. Thanks. I'm a bit of a self taught home mechanic. I know carberated gas engines but now looking into what desiel can do. New things

[@Arexodius]

My condolences to your wife's favorite towel... and to the hippies xD I like what you've done to your 6.5 and I gotta say I'm not as apprehensive about getting one myself after hearing your and other people's advice on what upgrades to do to make it as reliable as Detroit intended. And I reeaally like the sound it makes!

[@mauldindoc123]

I like when you do these type of videos- always inspires me to go learn more about my truck, tractor, etc and do more work on them myself. I'm still enjoying my venison....haven't bought any meat at the store since September!

[@Yankeeprepper]

+mauldindoc123 That is funny, we were just talking about that! We haven't bought any beef since hunting either and that is always satisfying to live like that.

[@mauldindoc123]

+Yankee Living (Combining DIY, Outdoor Adventure and Fine Coffee) I just built two chicken tractors with my son this week. Each one can hold 30 chickens and light enough to be moved by one person around on the pasture. We are going to try and raise enough chicken to eat after the venison runs out until deer season starts again in the fall. Didn't you raise turkeys a while back? How did that go?

[@Yankeeprepper]

+mauldindoc123 That is awesome, chicken tractor projects with the kid! Turkey's were fun and I learned a lot about them while raising them, it gave me a lot of knowledge I would not have otherwise in order to hunt them. HOWEVER...warning....Turkeys are smart....DOG level intelligence (not like chickens at all). And if I were to raise Turkeys again, I would build a pen and keep them in the back of the property. I let them roam around and they bonded to me.....they are very social. Followed me everywhere and even slept on the 2nd story roof top next to my bedroom (they figured out where we slept and even when and where we sat down for dinner) They started to fly next to my truck for short distances when leaving the house too. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do when it came to harvesting them. I began to enjoy them as a pet. It reminded me of how deep the "Fall" is, and that although God gave us the animals for food out of necessity........the original plan before SIN did not have death in it.

[@hossenfeffer4115]

Well said! Enjoyed your humor too!

[@edwardfutrelljr9086]

I just got a 94 Chevy Silverado 6.5 turbo diesel and I was watching videos on getting more power and better fuel mileage because it is a good vehicle

[@BwanaSuttree]

I appreciate your humor. Thanks for the vid!

[@chrispaquette6850]

Hey yankee rose lol. Just happened to run across your video. I really enjoyed it. Your know your stuff. No I’m not looking to meet at the book store great humor. I have a 2000 k3500 with 103000 miles did some kennedy brother upgrades runs great reflashed computer box behind glove box piller gauges 4” exhaust. relocated Pdm other than that love it. Some day I will do the hx35 turbo upgrade using your video to do it.

[@caperformance_motorsports]

You sir are one of the only true do it yourselfers that ive ever seen do things on a proper level and for the safey of your engine too looks great too man. I hope to switch to a good ol diesel one day from these jeeps

[@80sDweeb]

"Can you hear my Turbone?" LOL. So good. Also loved the, "It's creepy!" discussion. Subscribed! Nice to learn about the GM 6.5 diesel, I know some about the Cummins in the Dodge and the Power Stroke, so it is good to know that the GM is also a reasonable option, because when I'm bargain hunting for a tow vehicle in the (possibly) near future, I never know what I might come across.

[@buffalodiesel1809]

Sir, when gear heads hear I drive a 6.5 Diesel I have to listen to a lengthy tirade as to what a POS it is compared to their 7.3 fix or repair daily. So far I have only 200K on mine and non of the issues that face the power stroke idiots. A seasoned diesel mechanic was not able to diagnose low pressure when the oil pressure safety value failed. Although, my POS 6.5 still ran for yrs without the lift pump running. Finally I figured it out and it has its zooom back. After viewing your youtube videos I think I might keep my 24 yr old 6.5 and incorporate your ideas... I saw some interesting items at leroy's site. My turbo does not whistle loud enough. Now that needs to be changed..! I also have the 5 spd in my Cheyenne and really enjoy my diesel... but need a louder whistle. Only mod is a straight pipe.

[@user-ii8xp7mg9h]

Buffalo Diesel damn right buddy!!! 99. K1500 suburban Detroit diesel!!!

[@RichieTNY]

Buffalo Diesel I have both. The 7.3 is super reliable. 6.5 has needed more work, but nothing is super expensive like the more modern diesels. Both are at around 300k on miles.

[@Hatchbackiller]

I have a 96 6.5 3500 and I love it, but 7.3s are great engines too. If there was ever a ford to own, it's a 7.3

[@ChevyManZ]

I have a 97 work van with the 6.5 in it, i have the center mounted turbo which is the same motor in the military humv. Hands down the most dependable vehicle I own. great video and nice burb. and by the way if you haven't found them yet Heath diesel has some great products for the 6.5 motors!

[@louisrenshaw2127]

About time you showed up! Hope you have had a good winter. In good ol NE Kansas we just got a dusting. And went all winter with no long johns. So not really a winter.

[@Yankeeprepper]

+Louis Renshaw I am glad I got out early to enjoy the little bit of winter that showed up this year. The kids and I were planning a trip together to winter camp this month and I don't think it's going to work out. I like the winter season and this one was a little disappointing. Without snow....there is not much to do! I am gearing up for spring already, getting stuff done in the yard and will be going through the fishing tackle this week. I am going to try to take the kids out on Lake Superior to troll for salmon.

[@OffgridwithJayandJen]

couldn't help but smile when I heard the first whistle, and i'm not even a diesel guy. NICE

[@dayzojeffro22]

This a great video! Nothing like it on youtube well documented and very clear. I have a 1998 2dr chevy tahoe with a factory 6.5l vin s motor. I can say from experience that the gm-8 turbo is a super durable longest lasting turbo option for these trucks, however the exhaust gas temps are a little high even with a full 4in exhaust.

[@aaronhumphrey2009]

A Banks style water/ methanol injection system will bring that exaust temp down, the exaust valves will last longer, and you'll make more HP

[@allencoolman3330]

More air in the same space ! Sounds fantastic!

There are so many electric cars and hybrids around here (Norway), what I would really like is a F650 with a caterpillar engine and a real loud exhaust that makes their hybrids vibrate ass I pass them..

[@Yankeeprepper]

+ryanburbridge In 17 years I have replaced one PMD after I relocated it and I replaced the pump every 150,000...so 2. I have never had an Injection Pump fail, but I know many mechanics (included GM) replace them "hoping" that is the problem when it's something else much simpler and cheaper. I had at least 2 PMD's fail before I relocated it. These engine are the most misunderstood diesel of it's era. There are only 3 things that cause problems and they are very cheap and easy to modify.

[@ryanburbridge]

+Yankee Living (Combining DIY, Outdoor Adventure and Fine Coffee) I completely agree that the 6.5TD is completely misunderstood. I have done a lot of research on it and still have a ways to go. That's why when you posted your vid I was so excited. If you have the time and feel up to it I would love to see a vid of some of the tips and tricks to 6.5TD. On a side note I now have a full blown coffee obsession. I make the best coffee out of anyone I know. It's not hard lol. There is a lot of bad coffee out there.

+ryanburbridge Well, it's good timing for a 6.5 vid. I am dropping the tank and replacing it this weekend. (In fact, I replacing the whole fuel system).

Nice video I follow your videos and learn about 6.5 tricks to get better performance, I have a 1998 GMC 6.5 turbo, I exported to venezuela about 4 years ago and little by little I have been restored this amazing truck but I have some concerns about cooling the engine. First this truck in a tropical weather country so the sun and outside temperature in daily basis is high 97 F so this engine works in high IAT temperature how can I improve the engine cooling system? You mentioned about replace the fan clutch for a duramax version but which version of duramax or what year should I buy? Also do you think should I replace the water pump for those are offering in some website like 130 GPM or something like that, also I check in rockauto parts that in ac/heating section appear a fan cooler for AC condenser and someone is mentioned that the oil cooler use a fan cooler also, should I put in those fans? Should I replace fan cluctch for 2 fan like silverado ? I need some advice about

I know this is an old video, but I did a similar install on my 6.5 Hummer engine in my '84 suburban. I have to regulate it down to only 13-14psi. I've noticed though that I can't build boost in OD (700r4) when going up hills. I have the corvette 4th gear servo in the tranny, so it doesn't kick down as easy as the "truck" servo.

just wondering at idle what is your exhuast temp? mine stays at 100 maybe 125 on my 6.5 diesel. it seems fairly low seems like the exhuast would be hotter than that, i have my gauge installed in the same spot as you

[@chuckgraziano3925]

Reece634 get a new gauge. Should be 500-1000

Do you have a link for a hx35 turbo that would work for the 6.5?

Turbine! Great video thanks for sharing. Keeping my eyes out for a nice diesel suburban, or for excursion, for when the motorbike is just not big or warm enough.
