Don't get me wrong...I'm still happy with my purchase as I have the sought after Navistar cast block and heads. I only paid $468 after tax and the GL fee. I think I could sell the heads for that much. The engine seems to be new except for this one "minor" problem. I knew I was stepping out...

Tore into the engine today. Spun bearings at #6. Crank might be beyond repair. Photo shows #5 on left and #6 on right.

Hopped the 6.5 off this weekend. First discovered that the lift pump was not working because the rod had fallen down before the pump was installed. Fixed that, primed it up, and it fired immediately without any glow. Cylinder 6 has low compression @ 350 psi. Everyone else was in the 450 to...

Hello all, I picked up a 6.5 from Bragg the other week through GL. Started tinkering with it this weekend. One cylinder has low compression (350-380) and the others are good at 450 to 490. I noticed some writing on the manifold that I believe is a clue to what the issue might be. Looks like...

Thanks guys. I have since found the tech manual. Looks like the tube routes up to the air cleaner. If the engine is any good I'm just going to cram it into my old C10 beater. I'll run the vent hose up top somewhere. I should have some N/A Humvee type engine parts left over like exhaust...

So nothing hooks to it? No filter or anything? Thanks!

Picked up a 6.5 through GL the other day to go in a civi truck that I have. The Humvee fuel pump has me scratchin my head. There is an in and an out at the bottom of the pump (I'm cool with that) but what's the smaller connector on the top half of the pump connected to on the Humvee? Been...

Dumped a gallon of Rotella in tonight and turned the oil pump with a drill. She made 50 psi so that is encouraging. I hope to hook up a 24v jumper to the fuel shutoff on Thursday or Friday evening and pull the ground hop off on Saturday and continue the assessment. The quick and dirty...

Did you try a civi 6.5 pan? Has anyone?

A good point and was certainly on my list of questions/cocerns, but we will cross that creek when we get to it. The wife drives a 6.5 td crew cab dually with one of these post GM blocks in it so I'll have something to look at as I progress. It's certainly not going to be a one day type swap...

12555506 and date code 01 16 R. Small Navistar diamond in the valley under the pump.

$395. $468 out the door.

The block was cast in 2008. The injection pump has a 2008 sticker on it. I am optimistic.

Picked up a 6.5 today Hello all, I'm new to Steel Soldiers but have been lurking for a couple of weeks. I am a 6.2/6.5 diesel owner and love these engines. I bid on and won what I thought was a 6.2 from GL last week. Picked it up from Ft Bragg today and brought it home. Turns out it's a...
