For the original owner, Keyser Soze, Im still running your truck as my daily driver/work truck. Looks a little different now.

I think with the fuel lines I just used the same set up as with the 6.2. from tank - spin on filter - to Injection pump. I think im pushing 12 lbs of boost, havnt really done much to mine. And now that you mention the return line, Im thinking about looking at mine. And with the lift, I have a 6...

And as far as why I wanted to swap a 6.5 in, I figure its meant to have a turbo from the factory, so its built to withstand factory settings for the turbo unlike the 6.2. I know its a 30+ year old engine which is why the seals are leaking but the 6+ lbs of boots couldnt have helped with the oil...

Well either way I appreciate the input from both of you. Its very helpful to have a place to ask. I hope to start the swap soon.

I started to pull the 6.5 apart today. Deff will take a few hours to swap the mec one in. Another thing, what about the fuel pump? The 6.2 has the mechanical and 6.5 is electric (obviously). What do I need to do with that? Swap it or wire the electric one into my M1028?

Do you know how hard it is to swap IP's? I have heard you need to get the timing right, but is there more to it than just taking one out and putting the other in?

Ah I see. Thanks for the heads up!

So I have a turbo on the 6.2 already, maybe its already calibrated to what the 6.5 would need? And why weld the waste gate shut?

So I just picked up a 95 6.5 turbo diesel for cheap coin. Everything was there, and the only thing I was told that needed to be swapped over was the mechanical injection pump from my 6.2. Is this true? I was told everything else would bolt/plug right up to my existing wiring harness and ect...

Thanks for the warm welcome, and once I get it on the road I'm sure I'll have some questions. I'm picking away at the rust now, getting it ready for tree work and such. Any info on the overdrive? Thats my main concern right now.

Only pic I have of it right now. U.S gear overdrive has been a mystery to me so far. I'm very new to the truck world, I've been into Jeeps since day one.

Just picked up a 84 M1028 with a turbo and was looking for info on it. Stumbled upon this thread. Any chance you sold yours to someone in NH a few years ago? The one I have looks very similar.
