Are Any Of The 3 Trucks Runnin Anything

[stanleytherat]

all them trucks are fuckin badass i want a 6.5 so bad fuck cummins and powerstroke

[omegacraz119]

these diesels are like a argo if u take care of them and do all preventive maintance they will last for along time

[uberbadnoob6699666]

i herd these diesels were the worst gm ever made am i correct?

[1989mackrmodellover]

does they have jakes or is that just how it sounds when you let off?

[recniabsal]

Dude, your truck makes it realy tempting for me to put stacks on mine. Cause your truck looks damn good with stacks! I have a 93 GMC Sierra 2500 with a DD.

[dakotastacks]

Did it smoke at all before the tune

[disorderlyconduct97]

beautiful trucks-do you ever have any problems taking them off road cause theyre big

[jedwilson95]

Was this video from the 90s since there older trucks or not?

[TruckNorris4x4]

why does everyone always wanna blow smoke? if all you care about is rollin coal unhook the damn turbo. its 2 vacuum lines.

[Camscape]

@TruckNorris4x4 it's only one vacuum line... and my truck doesn't have a vacuum pump :)

[youdragon]

@TruckNorris4x4 wont that pop the motor doing that?

[sokodad]

What year is your truck?

[blosser213]

what all did he do to that to get it to smoke that good lol

[Ducanasty]

How does yours smoke so much?

[nickzdumb]

what size stacks are those

[Camscape]

@nickzdumb 5" Bullhaulers

[Brye95]

what chip or programmer do you have in your 6.5 to smoke that much?

[Camscape]

@Brye95 Only "tune" I have is heath diesel's GL4

[mxcrzed22]

what size and kind stacks are on the two tone truck???

[jackiemoon98]

how did you make your truck smoke that much my 6.5 hardly does

[rockinbass01]

what kind of gas mileage do you get out of it? Im considering throwing in a 6.2 turbo because it would be more simple swap but a 6.5 is known to make a little more power but I hear the injectors are bad

[Camscape]

@rockinbass01 besides the earlier 6.2 models, the 6.5 and the 6.2 share same injectors. I get 16-17 mpg average iirc

[sklerizal]

@Camscape I've seen a 6.2 non turbo get from 18 to 24 mpg. I own an m1009 cucv its the blazer version and has a non turbo 6.2 and it gets around 19 or 20

[HedgehogOutdoors]

I believe on one of your other videos you said you average 20 mpg. Is that around town or highway?

[TheHeavychevy78]

i wouldn't call the 6.5 touchy, i drive a '92 3500 everyday and haven't a moments trouble with it in 197,000 miles.

[trl848]

WOW that sounds awesome. I have a 94 with a 6.5td. Love to put stacks on it what did you do muffler/exhaust to make it sound awseome and give it the bark?

[randombk82894]

these are reliable trucks as long as you keep them stock.once you put even the smallest mod on them they get pissy

[keith91z28]

@randombk82894 in your opinion would it be smart to stay away from them? I really like the 88-00 chevy and gmc duallies and also want a diesel but if the 6.5 is a hard motor to want to mod then should I stay away? like would upping the boost a lil or tuning it be a handful?

[randombk82894]

@keith91z28 they are not hard to mod but the pmds on them like to overheat which can be fixed by relocating them..if your going to really mod your engine get a 12valve cummins..the 6.5s arent the worst diesel engines to mod but they are harder to tune

[keith91z28]

@randombk82894 alright, very much appreciative of the help, so would a cummins swap be hard?

[randombk82894]

@keith91z28 if you know what your doin it prob wouldnt be to bad but i know the oil pan of the cummins hits the front diff but thats all i really heard...it would be easier to use the cummins tranny if possible because if not you have to buy adapters and shit which is a lot more.

[keith91z28]

@randombk82894 alright thx for the help man, i appreciate it

[fossilknife]

no not yet im having alot of Pump related problems idk if its the PMD or the injection pump the injection pump is original but the pmd was relocated and replaced on the intake manifold but i think it over heated and is giving me problems now i may have to replace it again and move it somewhere less heat exposed but i will get a video of it on here one day lol

[mxboy58]

I'm pretty sure a guy on the diesel forum i'M on has a pic of this truck as his avatar. lol. This thing is a lot nicer than my 6.5.

[Camscape]

@mxboy58 yes, thats probably me :P

[snowbell01]

@mxboy58 oh god thats halarious, i knew that this guy was that guy ha ha, pretty odd coincidence was it not?

[urdadddy1]

do ya still have this truck ???

[Camscape]

@urdadddy1 For now, yes I still have it

[brnco2xlt]

i loved my 6.5l turbo diesel but there so unreliable in my opinion. the pmd will burn up. its not *if* its *when* them pmds will brake the bank. i even relocated it with a heat sink and dual fans

[fossilknife]

yes these trucks great i love my 6.5 turbo

[garretth4au]

@fossilknife i love mine too! have you done anything performance wise to yours?

[fossilknife]

@garretth4au

i have straight piped it and thats all lol i love that turbo whistle sound lol

[garretth4au]

@fossilknife haha same here. i want a performance ECM but not $700 bad. lol you got a video of yours on here?

[poorolmndirtfarmer]

Where I live if you went through a water hole over your bumper yer truck would disappear like you were in quicksand. Trust me I've been up to the window cranks stuck with 9" of lift and 38's. Sticky situation.

[steveandant]

you guys are wheelers lol

[CrackinVTEC666]

the crew cab longbed in the middle of the line is my DREAM truck lol

[Ragebailey]

idk how ifs holds up to all that shit, honestly

[aaron12v92]

i had a 95 gmc with a 6.5 diesal really loved the truck but the 6.5 is such a peice of SHIT!!!! now i got a 03 dodge with the cummins love the motor but the truck is such a peice of SHIT!!!! if only i had the 5.9 in the 95 gmc that wouldve been a sweet truck!!

[pdxe22]

You have a chip in that 6.5 with the cowl hood and turnouts?

[Vaneps0]

I've seen more that aren't turbod....

[JcTheKillaClown]

most 6.5 are turbo who say there not dummy do ur research

[JcTheKillaClown]

sounds like a 400 with a loud engine and a turbo sweet lol i know couple for sale cheap to im buy one just to make ppl look like huh with a exhaust on it lol

[sponge7881]

wht did u all do to your 6.5 turbo it sounds mean

[product1982]

i got a 98 GMC 2500 4X4 with a 6.5 that i would love to do stuff like that with. all my buddies got fords so i'm the lone 6.5. so i love the video showing some 6.5's having fun.

[autom0bile]

Which is better a 6.2l or a 6.5l

[mooseoftoose]

@autom0bile 6.2 isnt a turbo. VERY slow.

[lpbulldogs1]

like the black smoke did u turn it up or is I a newer

[Douganschlogan]

Whats on this for exhaust? Im guessing straight pipe, but is the catylidic converter off it? I took my muffler off and it wasnt much louder. . . I guess the stacks make a big difference too probly.

[LoganTheRedneck]

what did you have to do to get it to blow black?

[incompletehunter]

what kinda mpg you get with that ole 6.5?

[sledheadchris]

Love the stacks!

[mrtaterman]

3 sexxy trucks!

[MrExtremepaintballr]

love my turbodiesel 6.5 beuty

[mxcrzed22]

did u put the turbo in

[Toclcl]

arggh now i want a 6.5 lol

[hooksmason]

im looking at buying one just for a toy. its a 96-97 1500 4x4 with 6.5 turbo. it runs good an does good but its been flipped. he wants 800 for it you think it worth it for a toy or should i go to a gas?

[thelucasweber]

is there any tricks i can do to make my 97 diesel blow nice black smoke like yours? like a power comander or something similer without going to bigger injectors and stuff like that?

[JetForceF22]

Those are the best looking stacks I've seen so far on the 88-98 body style Chevy truck.

[killaboi105]

what is done performance wise to the lifted 6.5?

[Nate71Taylor]

would you recommend a 6.5 turbo diesel?

[Camscape]

@Nate71Taylor I wouldn't recommend it to anyone lol, the 6.5 is a "touchy" engine... If you don't treat it right it will throw a temper tantrum.

[Hotrodnickell]

@Camscape Hahaha that true

[Nate71Taylor]

@Camscape so if it was just for muddin it wouldn't work out to well huh?

[WillDaBeast696969]

@Camscape would this be considered treating it right? lmao

[kenfo0]

@Camscape how so?

[urdadddy1]

@Camscape yup its just like a women haha but when a 6.5 is good its great !!!! i loved the milage that i got with mine ...

[HedgehogOutdoors]

@Camscape What do you mean it is touchy? That's an honest questions, I know nothing about these engines.

[MegaMoto4]

@Camscape whay do mean by treat it right. do these motors like to be run long distances. i am thinking of getting one but in the winter i only drive 10 miles a day. in the summer 50miles a day.

[MrExtremepaintballr]

@Nate71Taylor i love my 6.5 i pull all our farm crap with it, never had a problem, if you have time to take care of it and a dry place to park it i would reccomend it

[TBWdracula2003]

@Nate71Taylor not unless you have a mechanical background. if not and you want a diesel get an old ford with a 6.9L they just dont really care, sure they have to have about 150 bucks put into them to make them completely reliable but reliable none the less.

electric transfer pump, 12V 6.5L glow plugs with a push button.

[Nate71Taylor]

@TBWdracula2003 well i really want a chevy/gmc diesel but i dont want a duramax (cant afford it)!

[CrackinVTEC666]

@Nate71Taylor well then get one like this and swap a cummins 6B 12V into it its amazingly cheap and easy to do and getting more and more common every day many companies make adapters and prefabbed wiring harness conversions just a little wiring work to hook up all the gauges and a cummins will drag 3 6.5s tied together up a hill

[abbott242]

Where did you get those stacks from or are they custom made?

[ap1fanatik]

lol at the screaming in this video. Looks liek you had fun.

[Hotrodnickell]

Are all of the trucks 6.5 turbo diesels?

[Camscape]

@Hotrodnickell yes.

[icetitan6]

@Camscape are there any trails like tht in wisconsin?? i have a lifted 79 bronco and i really want to get it off road besides mud pits!

[Hotrodnickell]

I have a 6.5 TD in a K1500 stock and it has given me soooo many problems. Have you replaced your pmd? Its what gives your truck fuel.

[555222444999]

what kind of tires r those nice truck btw

[Camscape]

@555222444999 Those are Yokohama Geolander M/Ts...

[bgggg1]

@Camscape those tires are junk i got them on my 6.5

[darkhunter015]

the front two trucks need lifts and much bigger tires.. the back one is ok but would look and rule mud pits with a bigger tires and maybe more lift

[6030diesel]

well now i can see where the stupidity of that comment come from since your name is team cummins. tisk tisk.

[camarogod93]

lol that 6.5 is pretty bitchin! Although, I would have put it to some good use...pulling that last one out of the grass.

[apblackhawk12]

Is your truck an auto or manual?

[Camscape]

@apblackhawk12 It is an automatic. 4L80E

[apblackhawk12]

Oh nice. Great truck though. Those body styles look awsome.

[ItsMeGawd]

wtf lol did you make your own trail or what ? looked like fun

[Camscape]

@ItsMeGawd No, it was just very overgrown lol

[Twitchtoo]

good vid, but stop fucking screaming like a fucking dying animal

[Camscape]

@Twitchtoo Cry more. Also, wasn't me who was screaming.

[Twitchtoo]

ok bud, i said i liked the vid, and i didnt say it was you so, calm down

[CodyMacRae]

haha i got the exact same rust hole in my 95 Silverado in the front right fender

[1nwp2012]

I know this is a dumb question but, how to you make a loud turbo wistle?

[Camscape]

The GM-X Turbos don't quite whistle as much as other turbos would, but open up the intake a little bit (I have an AFE intake system) and open the exhaust up (3" downpipe and 4" exhaust).

[Bubat676]

how big is the pipe under the cab

[Camscape]

on my truck its 4" under the cab with a 3" downpipe.

[cstroud79]

How Pete and Mike can have so much fun and still have time to handle all those reported post I'll never know, lol. Great vid guys, looks like you had a blast !

[Jay500500500]

How the hell did you get three 6.5's in the same place!?! Lucky bastards! I'm one of the only people in my area that has one, nevermind one with 620 rwtq thats highly upgraded... You guys are soo lucky...

[bytesrule]

Thanx, I love my truck too ;)

[mossbergtakedown]

i love that 4 door with a passion but i also love all of them

[bytesrule]

@mossbergtakedown Thanx man, thats my baby right there :)

[usbzeroclassic64]

love the trucks and video what years are they starting with the 4 door, the one with stacks, and the white single cab.

[Camscape]

In the video, the crew cab was a 2000, the white reg cab was a 1998, and mine is a 1995.

[Thinker669]

Got some badass Chevys without front solid Axles, Cool.

[mattthebrat89]

Hmmmmm, I seem to recognize those three trucks! ;)

Was Pete the one screamin' the whole time?

[Camscape]

Yes that was Pete that was screamin lol...

[steelraptor]

Dude I got a 2000 6.5 and I am looking for a turbo and a hood with the scope like yours. Where did you get your hood?

[Camscape]

My hood was already on the truck from the previous owner.

[jamesakaduke]

yo mike? its james from unoh how the fuck u been!

[Camscape]

I've been good! Just looking for a job right now lol.

[mad4diesel]

Your friends have some pretty girly tires on those trucks. Was hoping to some rooster tails from out back.

[RickJame1986]

How did the intercooler fair? :0P

[Camscape]

Its fine, only had a light coat of liquid mud... Cleaned right up when I got home.

[AK47BOB]

Bitchin ride, they have their weak points but a mean Diesel non the less

[iamdave0887]

when the blazer's done i wanna check out this trail guys.

[6030diesel]

[JohnDeereBoy100]

Nice to see some more 6.5 out on the trail.
