Lots of other forums discuss the 6.2...not sure there is a "kit" for a VGT turbo for a 6.2. You'd have to order the parts, maybe someone from another forum has already done the leg work and can tell you exactly what parts make up the "kit". Should be cheaper than the Banks system, plus you...

The 6.5's are notorious for failing, especially the #8 cyclinder wall cracking...the 6.2's aren't noted for those problems. They are noted for longevity. If you want more power I wouldn't bother with a gas engine, put in a Cummins 4bt or 6bt. Or just call up Penisular Diesel and order their...

I got my timing chain set from auto zone or it might have been O'Reilly, can't remember. O'Reilly typically has more parts actually int thier store though whereas autozone has to order them (usually arrive the next day) from their warehouse.

Welcome, lots of MI folks on the site!

Well, it looks like 319 beat me to some of the info!

Not sure if there are any GL auction locations in the UP...maybe in the past there was, as far as I know the farthest north in MI that things are auctioned off is Grayling. It might be easier for you to purchase things from Sparta, WI...that seems to be a big auction site. A drive to Lansing...

good job, now you will have to get your wife to retake your truck's picture with the trailer hooked to the back...

To rebuild a 6.2 pretty much stock will cost about $1500, if you do most of the work yourself...ask me how I know. Start upgrading things like the guys from Diesel Power mag and it will cost big time! If you want a non-computer controlled engine with good power and fuel mileage you will have...

Wow! That looks really, really cool! We will have another military vehicle show here at the church this fall...you should have it totally done by then so we can see it in person! This is the second really cool truck I've seen being build, I know of a sweet bobbed deuce with air ride and...

Mine has been disconnected for awhile now, I need to get that fixed; but other things have taken priority lately.

chief, I never checked the classifieds here yet! Are you closer to Flint, MI than to Ted's? I am also leaning toward a much cheaper 6.2 which should work just as well. I will PM you.

I am also pondering the same question, 6.2 or 6.5. I currently have a 98 Suburban with all the bells and whistles that I just purchased and it at least has a head gasket or worse...(using coolant and oil, sticky, milkly nastiness when I pull out the dipstick); but yet it runs perfect! Unless I...

The oil pan from the factory 98 Sub will not work on Ted's 6.5 engines? I will give this thread a diagnosis of what my engine issue actually is when I am done with it.

I found a guy on ebay selling 6.5 takeouts for $1600...Ted's trucks n stuff and was curious if you guys thought that would be a good deal for my 98 suburban which looks like will need a new engine. Which stinks because I just bought it, I guess that is why it was being sold!

So Ted seems like a pretty reputable character to those that have met him? My family truck, a 98 Suburban that I just got has an major engine problem and needs a 6.5. Ted has these "low miles" takeouts that he "stands behind" with over 200 sold this year and no complaints. Just doing some...

Rob, we missed you at the military vehicle show at church! that truck or any of your other toys would have looked great in the front yard.

I am interested in being part of a group, but how many different groups are there in this state? What are their differences? I don't really have time to join all of them and go to several different group's meetings...or are these MV groups like churches? Lots of options and go to the one you...

golfballs shouldn't be a problem with hemtt wheels and 53" tires. On my 15.5's (46" tires) I forgot to put the valve stem on one of them and I could still reach in there with my hand and install the valve stem.

The last picture is of a veteran from our church, 89 years old. He died of a stroke last week, I had the privilege of doing his funeral Saturday. He fought in WW2, he joined shortly after he was married. He fought for 3 years and was involved in all kinds of battles in N. Africa and took part...

cessnatwin, what is the length of your bed and did you ever get a cargo cover modified to fit on it? Also, I'm curious what is the best section to cut out of the bed to get it to length, if anyone knows...
