    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    Why would I pull a turbo off a 6.5, when I already have the banks system for the 6.2? Granted the Banks needs rebuilt, but I already have it.

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    I never had a chance to drive the 6.2 before tearing the truck apart and I've not owned another diesel. I don't have any options around here to drive either a 6.2 turbo or 6.2/nv4500 let along both .

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    Im 50/50 here. How well does a 6.2 turbo do pulling, on 37's? With the 6.0 be overkill with 4.56?

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    I still have not seen any numbers from a Stans install to prove the performance gains, but I am completely open to them if the number prove their $600 value. I think there is a fella in MI that has a few NV4500 swaps with the 6.2. Maybe I need to go drive one and see how the old diesel responds...

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    I do emergency response and need to get out in all types of weather. Heck two years ago in -20 I did a 10 hr drive to rescue my sister in law. I was considering running the headers and not the turbo to have less stress on the engine and a cleaner engine compartment. I've heard the Stans are...

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    I don't think I would turbo the 6.0, 325HP and 350TQ should be plenty to scoot the truck, especially being back by a NV4500. A cam swap to keep the TQ low and a tune would be all it needs. I do like the 6.2 and Banks, but it sure does make the engine bay tight and hard to work on (just my...

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    skinny, that's my exact though. The 6.0 is a great power plant, with lots of possiblites. The 6.2 is as simple as they get, and the banks will add decent power. UGH. What to do.

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    I have both the 6.0 engine and 6.2 already with the Banks turbo on it. I also have a 93 6.5 with a turbo, but I'm not going there.

    6.2 banks turbo or 6.0 vortec

    I have an option of either putting the 6.2 banks setup back in my M1008 or installing a late model 6.0. I will be running a NV4500 with either one. Anyone have any thoughts on which is better. This will be a used truck for normal around town hauling, some highway use, trailer pulling ect. I'm...

    New M1008 - Indiana

    No fuel leaks, just a clogged gas tank. I am stripping the truck down. Thinking about going with 2.5 ORD and zero rates with 37 MT/R's. I haven't found a set of 35's for what we can get the Hummer take off tires for. Almost have the dog house off, should have it completely stipped this week...

    media blasting

    Has anyone had their truck or frames media blasted? What did you pay or did you do it yourself? I don't think my 5hp 33 gal craftsman could keep up media blasting, afterall, it is 12 yrs old :mrgreen: I got a quote of $400 to media blast my frame, axles, springs ect. and $200 to epoxy paint...

    New M1008 - Indiana

    Sounds like we have our own History Detectives here!!! Looks like I have a little research to do as well. Chris said it was a 6.2 Banks system and that it still needed the fuel turned up. I need to pull the turbo to change the mechanical fuel pump, so I will scope it out then. I ordered a few...
