6.5L Turbo Diesel Ride...

[chevydually1996]

It's bad to make these 6.5 diesel smoke ask heath diesel plus the way fuel is now why would u want to watch $ $ sings roll out of the exhaust.if you loom at a new diesel you wonder why u can't blow smoke? It's plain and simple people complained Abt its bad for the evironment. It's not bad and thanks to the kids that think black smoke is cool now diesels are in the same boat gas was in 70's

[slingingofstars69]

these 6.5s are good and all, but require alotta attention.

[COPOKurt]

Sounds real healthy! What all has been done to it? and is that the stock turbo?

[91Brandyn]

Has this blown up yet?

[chompskys]

176,000 miles or kms?

[zymuur]

@chompskys considering his speedo is in mph then that 176000 is probably in miles as well....... Geez.

[KTMdude07]

what mods do you have to make the 6.5 blow smoke??? i cant find anywhere on how to make the 6.5 smoke..

[zymuur]

@KTMdude07 that's his exhaust. If you have stock exhaust it won't smoke. You need to get a bigger exhaust straightpiped all the way down. 4inches will make it smoke fine. But I don't know why you would want it. It's wasted diesel. Black smoke = unburnt diesel = wasted diesel that's not doing anything.

[thugeater69]

@zymuur my '95 3/4 ton smokes when the pedal is near the floor and its stock. the only reason it smokes is because the waste gates are not good.

[zymuur]

@thugeater69 yeah these 6.5s don't really smoke much compared to a cummins.

[bakedbaker19]

what year is this truck? are you running 4in exhaust, if so where did you get your downpipe i cant find one anywere for a 93

[Myunnamed]

i love those gauges, are so pretty. NICE TRUCK.

IDK how much gears does that truck have, but i think the gears are too long. For example, here i brazil the silverado has 5 gears, a 01 silverado, in first gear goes only 30KM/h or 18Mp/h at 4500rpm. The engine is a MWM 6.07t

[sk8erman101010]

What size and type of stacks are those?

[JWCONFEDERATE87]

I have a 96 with 130,000 miles i put a heath diesel relocation pmd kit on mine and installed it above the skid plate. Ive had no problems with the motor at all, its been a fantastic motor. I dont understand people who say they dont have power, mine has plenty of power! beautiful 6.5 by the way buddy

[endurorider299]

What modifications have u made?

[Hotrodnickell]

Well, its just past 2000 rpms.

[Hotrodnickell]

around 2:08, I love that sound. 6.5's, Duramax's and my 96 Tahoe with flowmasters makes it.:) Its like a crackle that shows a real truck:D

[elpasayocalvo]

Id go gay for a truck like this.

[VaMoneyCow]

2800rpm at 65mph...what's your mpg?

[Camscape]

@VaMoneyCow That was in 3rd gear, not OD

[VaMoneyCow]

@Camscape Gotcha! What would you say you average city/highway? in od

[VaMoneyCow]

@Camscape Gotcha! Nice ride along man thanks for the video..

[EaStxVaNxiNc]

@Camscape hey why were u driving in 3 ?? and not od?

[jpache1200]

Hey dude great truck! My 6.5 has the exact paint as yours and everything. What are you running for performance bolt ons? and how did you set your boost to 15psi?

[MrCargod05]

whats the mpg on this?

[jeffyh69]

have you had any troubles running that much boost because that is twice what they are from stock or do you have mods done to motor?

[wpcsray]

I love this rig

[Ducanasty]

Would you recomend this engine to anyone, is there any problems/downsides to it

[disorderlyconduct97]

@Ducanasty the most major problem is overheating

[HedgehogOutdoors]

This thing sounds awesome!

[gsxrcowboy89]

i have a 96 model 2500 same color and everything how do you set the boost on it. and does anyone have any tips for enhancing the performance on it.

[65engine11]

good site 65engine .com

[ronhoefer69]

I would like to know how hard its boosting cuz I'm a fan of the 6.5 and I have a 95 1500 that boosts 22 psi

[broken4813]

i'm probly 1 of the biggest 6.5 haters i know but i have to admit, that's 1 of the best sounding diesel p/u's i've ever heard!!!

[MIKETHEGUITARPRO]

nice man



[JackisTheAce31]

listen to that shit whistle... sounds just like mine, same year same engine

[douro20]

One thing about the 6.5 Turbo Diesel that most people don't know is that they are a DEMIL B item because of its use in the HMMWV. 

[Keithstoltzfoos]

A DSM? Have fun with them boost leaks! And fuel cuts! Good luck!

[HedgehogAirsoft]

How does this thing do for mileage if you granny it?

[9412vpullin]

wat ALL mods?!

[Learnthethingsido]

Chevy Power baby!!!

[possiblefurry]

sorry, never saw it wasn't in OD

[possiblefurry]

3,000RPM at 60ish mph....

is the tranny running in top gear? or is it just a 3-4 speed?

Just wondering

[stanleytherat]

hey nice truck i was wondering if you can hear the turbo spool on a stock 6.5?

[jnlroach09]

man is your temp gauge right? mine never got that hot even in 110 degree heat, very rarely would it touch 200

[jnlroach09]

my 98 6.5 had the gn8 turbo on it. best thing you can do is cold air intake and get rid of your back pressure and that retarded cat

[alecm94]

where did you get your pod pillar gauges?

[Krotidas]

awesome video if it was manual transmittion it would rock!!!

[TheCandyman315]

The 4L80E is an ok tranny it can be tweaked so you dont bog going up hill and the ratios can be changed too or better yet get a 4L85E 

[TurbineDoc]

@TheCandyman315

Most of the 6.5s uphill issues are with the program GM put into it, with proper tweaking the problems go away,

[TurbineDoc]

Respond to this video... Problem is with GMs stock program set up to meet emissions/economy a quality re-flash cures this

[claimer40]

have you ever had any problems with it starting when its already warmed up. i am haveing probloms with mine

[devonstonge666]

hey budy love the truck i just picked one up myself what did you have for exhaust before the stacks? is it all straight pipe or what? let me know

[imadethistowatchvide]

whats the stock turbo on the gm 6.5?

[TurbineDoc]

@imadethistowatchvide

GM-8

[imadethistowatchvide]

@TurbineDoc thank you very much

[imadethistowatchvide]

thank you very much, i trust you because you are a doctor lol

[TurbineDoc]

@imadethistowatchvide

I'm not diss-in your claims just posting reality, I don't know you so I'm not hitting you with the BS card, but 425 from the 6.5 is not easily achieved and if the 425 ypu are posting comes from a dyno, then data from the dyno is suspect, some dynos give a very high incorrect Hp output.

[imadethistowatchvide]

@TurbineDoc me? i didnt say anything like that that was rs2241, i was gust wondering what turbo it had, and if it was a good one, im about to peice a turbo kit for a dsm

[imadethistowatchvide]

i didnt say that, lol that was rs2241. i just wanted to know what turbo it was, im about to make a turbo kit for a dsm

[imadethistowatchvide]

@TurbineDoc lol sorry it told me it didnt post the first one



[possmguts]

love the jake brakes.... truck sounds and runs nice.

[TurbineDoc]

@possmguts

With PWM control for TCC lock used in the 6.5 trans, you can't use a Jake Brake, see TCC has to stay locked for the engine to slow with the Jake Brake, without TCC lock it just slips and you just wind up with noise from the JB and you don't slow with the engine

[MrPeterbilt386]

why are you in third gear?

[littleButters2123]

what kind of gauge set up do you have?

[9412vpullin]

damn!!! wat mods?

[rs2241]

My dad has a '94 C2500 with a 6.5. Its pushin about 425 horsepower. We've been lookin into new turbos but haven't decided on what to get yet.

[GreaseMonkeyVIP]

@rs2241

Hey man is there any way to get in touch with your dad to get the specifics on what he used to build a 6.5t to the 425hp range?????

Wether Email or a Phone Call I would really like to get in touch with him and find out what he used to make this much power!!!!

Please talk to him and get some INFO!!!!!!

The highest I have seen so far ANYWHERE on #2 only is just above 300whp and just under 600wtrq... If my math is correct your dad should be running around 800 wtrq or possibly higher?

[TurbineDoc]

with a GM-8 ??? not hardly few performance 6.5s out there mine is one, World 6.5 record was set last year by friend of mine Bill Heath 158mph @ Bonneville, he is 500 Hp but is twin turboed with a LOT of other work. I'm about 220-250 rwhp 300+ flywheel Hp with many mods, It's been a while since my last dyno run, GM-8 turbo does not have goods for 425Hp, your Dad may have higher Hp than stock but not 425Hp

[DropDownLowrider]

How much power do these 6.5L TD's put out?

[XGuitarEliteX]

@DropDownLowrider Not as much as cummins, powerstroke or duramax, 94's and older only ran about 7-9 psi stock, the electronically injected ones were a little higher which was 95-2000, but still they have a good deal of working power

[TurbineDoc]

@DropDownLowrider

185 stock Hp @ flywheel, with mods 200+ at rear wheel is very doable

[XGuitarEliteX]

what year is your truck?

[Boobanater1]

whats your mpg?

[CATZR600BRAAAAAP]

Sounds sweet. im looking at one for a plow truck.

[DEEZELKING]

cool truck used to have one just like it

[Hotrodx199]

Are you running a stock turbo? How much boost?

[Camscape]

@Hotrodx199 yes stock turbo, boost is set at 15psi.

[kenfo0]

@Camscape i thought stock boost was 7psi. how'd you get 15?

[Jay500500500]

I have a 1994 6.5 td and I love to just go on rides in it. I got my license taken away due to a non-driving related incident a while back. I just finally got it back. Im moving to South Carolina and I am thrilled about the trip ahead.

[mccrackenphillip]

A 6.2L 3500 M1008 NEAR CHINO

[UncleBaboris]

Cool truck man! Love these old 6.5 detroits!

[mccrackenphillip]

NICE I WOULD LIKE TO GET A 6.5L

OR A 6.2L

[UncleBaboris]

@mccrackenphillip 6.2's didn't have turbos, 6.5's are way better.

[theyoungn96]

awesome truck, sounds sweeet. like the 4 wheel jamboree sticker in the windshield lol

[Camscape]

@theyoungn96 Yeah, been to lazy to take it out lol... Hopefully I can make it to one this year too :D

[incompletehunter]

any reason why your in 3? whats your fuel mileage?

[Camscape]

@incompletehunter Truck will bog down if in OD with TCC locked and under 50-55 mph going up a hill

[CSXtrackworker]

@Camscape What gauges are you running on the gauge pos, and do they light up at night?

[darokkz]

@Camscape My 6.5 does the same exact thing.

[JetForceF22]

Damn man, that's a nice truck. What year is it? Check out my 95 Silverado sometime.

[ragebowhunter93]

are the detroits equipped with allison too or no?

[saosurvive126]

No the 6.5's had the 4E80 I think. Only the dmaxes got Allisons

[Camscape]

The Turbo 6.5s had 4L80E's or the NV4500

[ragebowhunter93]

how good were these trannys?

[GreaseMonkeyVIP]

@ragebowhunter93

They have the same standard small block chevy bellhousing pattern as the gen 1-5 sbc 350s do... Im almost 100% sure that an allison of the lq9 trucks will bolt right on just have to figure out computer control for it....... We will find out this winter cuz im going to attempt a 6spd allison 2wd with built 6.5 going into my obs dually and its going to have alot of fuel and run either an he35ve or custom compound setup for towing and mag mileage!!!!

[GreaseMonkeyVIP]

@ragebowhunter93 With a slightly lowered dually 2wd, with a 6spd allison slightly modded, a heavily modified fueI system, and run an he35ve vgt turbo with front mount intercooler, I should be able to get close to or even over 30 mpg with 3.73-4.10 gears, the allisons .62 6th gear OD I should have a great powerband as well as having the extra brake capability from tranny and turbo too!!!!! maybe add an h2o/ meth injection system and shoot for 35mpg lol wont happen with my lead foot but possible!

[1nwp2012]

aww, love the truck! what you got done to it and do you want to sell it?lol

[Camscape]

I normally say everything is for sale at the right price, but I don't see me selling my truck... for a while at least lol, this is my only daily driver right now.

[smalllot]

Great

Need to sort out my exhaust

[MrStabo2012]

Great run there Mikey boy!

[GMTech90]

Gotta love detroit diesels

[Pigs3differentones]

Sweet truck! It's great to see someone modify their 6.5, instead of just working the hell out of it.

[Camscape]

Thanks, It's fun to drive but I can't wait until I buy a Duramax :D

[tpvalley]

it says PRN?321 are u in 3 and is the? D as in drive?

what boost do u run?

have u had any reliebility issues with the engine?

A lot of folks fitted the 6.2 and 6.5 in landrovers but some went bang pretty quick and I also saw a post about failing glow plugs.

[Camscape]

3 is Drive (D) is OverDrive.

My boost is set at 15 psi.

The most i've done to the engine is just maintenance stuff. Nothing to major, biggest would probably be oil cooler lines.

[Rollinsmoke96]

how did you get your truck to smoke .. like what all upgrades do you have

[THEuncleshank]

theres this thing called the "accelorator" you press it down hard

[smore911]

Nice truck, but get a Duramax and you won't be dissapointed!

[THEuncleshank]

duramax makes a great tampon

[johndeereman2009]

Nice trucI like how the stacks are set up.

[95talon07]

couple ?'s where you get the cowl air induction hood. and ho0w many lbs you runnin.

[Camscape]

The cowl was on the truck when I bought it, it is all metal though. I have to boost set to 15 psi on the GM4 turbo.

[evilbeast1987]

how did make it where you hear your turbo so well? i cant seem to hear mine for shit?!?!?

[Camscape]

Open up the exhaust, and open the the intake a little bit and you should hear the whistle better.

[coolhand12gauge]

throw away the old airbox. As long as you do that it should sound good. I got a SSDiesel intake because It was cheap and seemed simple. on mine it whistles going anything over 15MPH barley on the throttle

[darokkz]

god yes. The SS air intake is probly the best thing you can ever do for a 6.5.

[coolhand12gauge]

yea too bad I have a bad CDR and it keeps getting oil on my new intake!!

I just want to get more air and colder air to it. The cowl hoods from LMCTruck are nice but way too expensive. But a hood scoop on the passenger side around the intake would be sweet as hell, And Ive never seen that before Ive only seen the hood scoops right in the middle but one off to the side, That would be one unique 6.5.

[maxpower14843]

what kind or truck is this and does it have an engine break

[Camscape]

It is a '95 Silverado with 6.5 TurboDiesel in it. And it does not have an engine or exhaust brake on it.

[iixry4nxii]

those stacks are sick

[chevyinlinesix]

Sick truck! Great exhaust note too, especially engine braking down hill. Great acceleration for a 6.5 Turbo Diesel.
