Hi 94dually, Yeah that’s what thought, sorry for your luck! I know the symptoms as I went through the same thing myself. Bought my 94 Burb earlier this year, let the wife drive it for a while, she calls me at work one day and says it’s overheating. That was an understatement...

Hi DZZ71, Wow, well I guess I’ll take your comments as a form of Hazing, right?:rolleyes5: I guess you didn’t see my first response to you, about the one block (that I'm rebuilding) needing at least one cyl sleeve, and the other will need a LARGE OVERBORE! I take it also you didn’t see...

Hi btfarm, Yeah not bad for only $2100 right? I’m sure people will be lining up around the block for some more of these?

Hi 94dually, Hate to be the bearer of bad news but; since it’s still producing white smoke while warmed up I would highly suspect head gasket(s), and worst case cracked head/block. These 6.5’s were designed for economy, after the fact GM entered the diesel HP war and turbo’ed ‘em &...

Hi CtChevy427, Yes I do, although the close ups pics of the cyl-wall damage are to big to upload to this forum, had to resize 'em smaller. Unfortunately even in these pics the large patches of erosion in the cylinders were cleaned up with WD-40 & Scotchbrite. I don’t like making warranty...

Hi DZZ71, Wow you own a DMAX yet choose to wrench on 6.5’s for fun, you are a sick little monkey aren’t you! You’re definitely a diesel hot rodder, both your 95’s sound really cool! Actually I do understand your logic, the 6.5 engine is stone simple, even the Injection & Vac control sys...

Hi Gunar, Here's what I posted on the other Place: "Hi XXXXXXXX, I did some research a while back on the Stanadyne PMD/FSD, the circuitry design is guarded better than our nuclear weapons technology. The module dissipates heat proportional to the solenoid drive signal pulse width. In...

Hi JiFaire, Yeah you’re probably right; I’ll be the first to admit I am blowing off a lot of steam on this thread! It’s therapeutic I guess! But please realize my intentions are genuine! If my rants & raves steer even one person away from the pain in the A$$ ordeal I’m going through...

Hi Guys, "I'm waaaay to cynical for the used engine arena" Well to tell you the truth over the last three decades I’ve purchased new, crate, reman, used, pullouts, junkyard engines. All were successful! Some I tore down and inspected, some I just installed because I trusted the seller...

Hi 3500GMC, Your response to this debacle is hilarious, and I probably would’ve cracked a smile reading it! But because of Ted’s Tucks my wallet is $2100 lighter, I’ve got three dead 6.5 plugging up my garage floor, and a dead vehicle sitting in my driveway since April! I’m a working slob...

Hi JiFaire, Sorry I’ve never really shipped anything to Canada, but I’ve heard scary stories of customs, VAT taxes or something to that extent. Anyway, here’s what I posted on another diesel site: {BTW, even though they replaced the first damaged longblock with another damaged...

Hi DZZ71, Well to tell you the truth I'd love to recoup some the money I have tied up in this mess, but the better of the two Teds engines I have got to get rebuilt. My Sub is sitting in my driveway like a dying beached whale, and let me tell you, hell have no fury like an HOA that thinks it...

Hi iamdave0887, "not saying it's your fault", I realize I'm new here but all the people who know me, know that if I dork-up something I'll be the first one to admit it, probably make fun of it too! Nope no coolant involved on my part, the 1st Teds engine had serious water damage upon...

These are some Pics I have at work, keep in mind most of these are post cleanup with WD-40 & Scotchbrite. The Cyl pitting is like coral and about 10-30 thou deep! Note the dots on the Pre-cup, denotes end of cracks! Chris

Hi Guy's, Just to clarify, yes I did just join the "Truck Stop" today. And yes, I did join to share my bad 6.5 purchase experience with Teds Trucks! A little background info: I purchased one of Teds 6.5's back in April 2011, when I purchased it I told Margaret that I intended to pull...
