http://leroydiesel.com/products/p400-6-5-long-block/ Leroy Diesel seems to have it cheaper. Not sure after shipping & core charge? But really at these prices your entering 12 Valve territory:shrugs:

Well I'm in the same boat as you. I have a set of their NEW after market heads on my 6.2 and they have worked very well. at least until my bottom end let go:shrugs: I've bin contacting Jeff via Ebay messages about their Optimizer 6.5. He told me I'd have to recalibrate my 6.2 injection pump to...

Okay lets try this... It sounds like the lock linkage has come off. So with the widow mostly up so you don't scratch it. Use a coat hanger to fiddle with the latch mechanism it's self. Close your eye's and use your minds eye (or the Force) :carnac:to envision the 2 lock rods and the direction...

..........yes I installed a set of after market heads on mine. They worked fine, but all the bolt holes on the intake needed to be elongated, and the injection lines will need to be persuaded to fit the new injector angle.

HA! Touche!:lol:

HA!, a muddy engines fine. But judging by the rusty bolts in the pictures it hasn't had even basic maintenance in decades. I'd rather buy an ugly faded paint truck with fresh head gaskets and injection pump.

Looks like a rattle can, used car salesman restoration, done just to get it sold for profit. I just don't see 14K worth of truck? The engine looks crusty and neglected. Goofy front bumper, missing brush guard, goofy clunky receiver hitch. I think you could find a truck with much more focus on...

Hey usmcpatriot I'm responding to your PM here. I think mg84648 as well as the others pretty much summed it up. It sounds like the glow plug card is trying to work but the GP relay is acting up. Frankly it sounds like you have a lot of wiring debauchery that needs to be put back to stock. As...

Welcome to the hobby. There's several threads on this subject you can search. Basically Felpro 6.2 gaskets, You'll need to at least visually inspect the heads for cracks or just have them rebuilt. New head bolts or studs, torqued 30LBS twice, 60LBS twice, 90LBS three times. Rocker shafts 40LBS (...

A little blow by is normal, that's what the CDR system is for. Too much is when you get smoke out of the top of the oil fill cap with the truck idling. This video is of mine with a bad cylinderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GcQPwwIubk

Well I'm not a fan of manual glow plug switches, kind of a hack job in my opinion 2cents. The factory glow plug system works way better when properly maintained. I forget who?, but there's a guy on here who makes upgraded glow plug cards. Anyway, based on your drunken mistake :beer:I think the...

The blueish smoke is unburned fuel. It could be both things previously mentioned (air leak), (glow plug relay). I'm leaning towards bad glow plug relay. Are you running the glow plugs on a button or with the factory glow plug card?

Might have old fuel that needs to be drained. Also I would change the fuel filter and replace all the rubber fuel lines. As for the trans I would replace all the rubber vacuum lines.

Rust & frozen bolts are a lifestyle in Florida where I grew up. I had a wheel frozen on a front wheel drive Mitsubishi one time. That I could not get off, even after loosening the lugs and driving around the block. I ended up taking it to a tire shop, the tire tech took off the lugs, with his...

Also you don't want to bypass the RAD cooler so it can heat up the trans fluid in the winter. Too cool trans fluid is bad as well.
