I don’t know who you called, who you talk too or where some info you posted came from, but my apologies...you have been fed a load of crap. Ive done probably more hmmwv engine Installs and swaps than any shop in the U.S., have been for many many years.
6.5 used in A2 trucks will work Great, as long as you know some of the caveats.
the injection pump uses a TPS, so the shaft does not support the cam wheel for the kick down, this will require you move the switch to the injection pump throttle bracket and use the correct linkage to the pump to...
Yes, it is press fit, I have the installer tool, it should not just slide on, or off for that matter.
welding is a problem, the cranks are forged and the metal properties will change with the migs heat and un-heat treat the area if not hardened correctly, also probably impossible to do in the...
GEP didn’t Make the 6.2, the 6.5 is the direct replacement, it’s in the form of a “detuned” motor.
Why you wouldn’t want a 6.5 im not clear on...later GEP’s are a much much better motor for many reasons.
The detuned 6.5 was because the 6.2 was mfg discontinue.
Never had this in 30yrs, you have something else going on...very well the crank end is out of spec from when the key broke and spun, just my .02 cents. Call my shop if you like.
that’s not an ignition pump, it’s called an injection pump...I would not trust anything like that from a local auto store either.
also, I would assume anything local is 12v and not 24v, unless you swapped top cover, but you could have a weak solenoid and is causing your issue. If it were me? I...
Dumping water on the pump was/is a DS4 pump issue, not a DB2 pump issue...it was to cool the PMD, which does not exist on Db2’s.
I would check that you fuel filter isn’t clogged and/or you mechanical fuel pump is bad.
Most folks don’t realize just how strong that plastic is on the blade...I challenge anyone to try and break those blades, it’s a b***ch. Your concern is when the fan engages at 220, it can wipe out your water pump.
I had one that shook so violently you though the truck was coming apart.
lose the R4 transmission and install a 4L80e with the 242. It’s a common conversion....anyone who knows enough
about transmissions and diesel engines knows better than to install an R4...but heck, what do I know.
Just drive it, there is nothing you can do if anything was done to the motor.
I just had a truck that had 8 GP’s with 100% of the tips missing...runs perfect, so far.
I’m assuming you know you will need an ECV radiator shroud to mount that turbo radiator correct?
along with an ECV snout, frame rail expensions and a new Hood.
