Picked up a 6.5 today
Hello all,
I'm new to Steel Soldiers but have been lurking for a couple of weeks. I am a 6.2/6.5 diesel owner and love these engines.
I bid on and won what I thought was a 6.2 from GL last week. Picked it up from Ft Bragg today and brought it home. Turns out it's a 6.5. Removed the glow plugs and turned it by hand a couple of times. So far, so good. I have no idea what the history of this engine is but it appears to be pretty much unused. The injector line was off of cylinder 5 and the pump and that's about the only quirky thing I have noticed so far.
I've been watching superburban's posts on ground hopping closely and certainly appreciate the great information. I hope to get my ground hop going in the coming weeks.
My plan is to stuff this into my 84 C10 (old 6.2 getting tired) so I've been reading many good post here about that as well. Thanks for all of the good work that you do!
