Yesterday, I spent some time bolting up the cross over exhaust pipe to the manifolds on the block and the reaminder of the exhaust system. once aligned up, the difficult part was bolting up the passengers side. I installed the starter before the motor went in so 2 of the 3 flange bolts were a...

The 6.5' s show up on GL from time to time

Ord22, The 6.5 is available in both turbo and non turbo. The new one I am installing is a non turbo. The non turbo bolts right up to the regular transmission. Putting a turbo 6.5 in place of a 6.2 or 6.5 non turbo equipped truck can be done. I looked into putting a 6.5 turbo in but going that...

Check your PM.

Put some time in the garage today. I "dressed the motor" with the alternator, starter, power steeriing pump, belts and wiring harness. The 6.5l is now in the engine bay. It slid in with ease. The engine sling along with the gantry and chain fall really made this a one man job. I still need to...

Nick D's 6.2l engne taken out today Spent the day in the garage with the torpedo heater keeping me warm as the outside temperature was in the 20's. The military lifting sling really made the job easy as it angles the engine at the right angle for removal. With the sling and the overhead...

Chris, I saw this device in the manual. Since I will be both soldier A & B I thought locating one would make my life easier. I posted a need and got a reply. I will let you know how it goes. Nick

The 6.2l engine lifting device arrived last week. Here it is installed. It will be a few more days before I get back and remove the remaining few items before the engine is out.

NickD's engine install part2 Spent some garage time today. Got the starter out and the exhaust cross over pipe out of the way. I dropped the oil pan and found lots of shavings as shown in the picture. I had to remove the connecting rod nuts on cylinders 7&8 to turn the motor for access to the...

The process has begun! Most of the work is done in preparation to remove the old 6.2 making way for the 6.5. The overhead gantry is once again a life saver! the remaining steps to remove the old motor include disconnecting the starter from the wiring harness, and removing the torque converter...

Thanks for the replies, will go with the 6.5na and maybe the transmission swap. Its only money. THANK GOD IT'S NOT A LIVER!

Posted on the G today also.... Today was surely Friday the Thirteenth. On the way to pick up an m1102 trailer at Ft Mead, about 3 miles from the main gate, the engine started to really get loud, oil pressure was normal, it was cold out and the water temp was normal. Having no other choice, I...

Does anyone have a picture of the brackets I need or a part number? My manuals do not show the Leverne brushguard and the milemarker winch combination

Thanks to Mark for the great tips! I took some time to get acquainted with the winch install this weekend. Yes the brake caliper must be removed to have the clearance to get the new bolt in. I basted the bolts in a combination of PB and a product called Nuts Off. I used a brush to slather...

The wooden crate arrived today! Inside was an NOS mile marker 10k hydraulic winch, a complete kit. Thanks Mark for the heads up. I have been lubing up the lower A arm bolts in preparation for the install. I also scored an under the hood jack mout and the armor plating that goes on either...

foot basket, rear engine guard, rear hatch cover and motor top shroud. Oh and the patience it takes to build one!
