Yea I like my truck and the cost of a new one is more than I gave for my farm. I hate emissions that gets piled on trucks more and more every year. It will never be worth as much to another as It is to me. Driving it is kinda like making a statement. I do get comments on it. My father in law...

Yeah I think that way too, I don't have to put DEF in it and 10,000 grand would only buy another used truck that I would not know exactly what I had no matter how well I checked it out.

Yes I agree with you especially about the price of parts and and useful power. Since I've made the mods I have, I can easily pull anything I need to. While 900ft lbs makes me smile, I don't really need it.

I bought my truck for 2700, its not a beater but anything that old will need money spent on it at some point. With repairs and mods ( unexpected transmission) I probly have 7500 in it at this point. Really all things considered Any truck you buy is a loosing proposition. Generally speaking...

I'd like to see your own personal reason for driving a 6.5 also how much have you spent on your truck and can you or do you justify the expense. Me I like this body style truck for one. With a 93 you don't have a lot of computer crap to deal with which I hate. It's simple and when I pop the hood...

This is frustrating for me because I own an air conditioning company and understand completely what it takes to cool a space and how a cooling system operates. Once a flooded coil condition exist, adding refrigerant will only result in increased pressures and added load on the system causing...

Thanks guys giving me something to think about, it came with r12. New fan and clutch from Kennedy, pulled and rebuilt the radiator so thoroughly cleaned stack. Fins in good shape. New cutout switch. It's standard transmission so no tran cooler. I'll keep checking. I'm thinking could still be a...

Will definitely be watching have been considering the P400 myself.

At present the cooling system is the only thing I'm not happy with on this truck. I'm not sure why it doesn't cool better than it does. It does not leak, blows out 40% air but you have to leave it on max high to keep from sweating if its very hot at all. It goes through cycle switches fairly...

I guess if I don't have to do anything I'll just stick with R12, I have a 30lb jug of it. I just keep hearing horror stories of all the R4 replacements not lasting long.

Thanks WW! So it's better to stay with R12 you think? I have a whole jug of it. Also if I stick to R12 any changes/upgrades recommended?

My compressor is getting noisy and I want to change it. Its the original pancake style. Someone suggested I go to a Sanden. Whats entailed in this? What parts do I need? Is there a kit for this? Need a little guidance, also someone said the condenser on the 93 is too small, is this so?

I really felt the lower compression was because of the lack of lubrication from the gas. Running a while and the engine really smoothed out.

Okay thanks WW! sucking air in bad spot fuel line, also intermittent cut out in LP. Starts now instantly runs great!

My hired hand put gasoline in my 93 6.5 TD and drove about 5 miles till it started running bad. Cleared out all bad fuel filled with diesel. Ran better for about 20 miles then got worse and worse, sputtering, missing, no power, no boost. Finally wouldn't even untrack itself. Put in new fuel...

Good question! Mine is like the others, a 93 so no electronic box.

Thanks Guys! DEEJAA I was thinking about a GV overdrive with a ATT, how you like that setup?

I'd kinda like to see where and how others did this. Is there a thread or pics?

you guys are definitely making it sound appealing

No I haven't relocated it, can't decide if I want to or not.
