The explanation is pretty simple. I plan to build a centermount turbo setup for my 2000 k3500. I am in the process of building an engine for it and part of the build includes redesigning the pre turbo exhaust. The centermount setup will require a different intake and moving the ffm, but neither...

I've been thinking lately about ways to make more power efficiently. I saw some talks about raising pop pressures to upwards of 3500 psi (I guess this is the pop pressure John Deere uses with their db2s?) and increasing power and efficiency this way. And it seems everyone pretty much agrees that...

I am having the machine work done on my current build and everything is finished except the rods. They are being reconditioned and the plan was to replace the rod bolts, but my machinist said that ARP does not sell rod bolts for a 6.5. So my question is, are there any better aftermarket rod...

I figured instead of adding more to my original thread in the build, I would start a new one for the new engine. Quick background for anyone who hasn't read the original thread. And if, like me, you use Tapatalk and can't see signatures. The truck is a 2000 k3500 crew cab dually currently with...

I am starting on the engine that will be built to handle, for the long haul, what I have already done to my stock engine, along with a few more added performance parts. My main question for the build is: to cam or not to cam? I know they are all just re grinds from a stock cam, and I am...

I hear all the time people saying that a body lift cannot be done on a 6.5. I've heard all kinds of reasons, not of which have even been true for any 6.5 that I have put a body lift on. All the body lift manufacturers even say the body lifts will not work on the 6.5s. So... I decided to start...

Just wondering if anyone is running this pump yet and if so, how is it compared to a stock ds4 that has been tuned? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wondering if anyone knows what the standard main and rod journal sizes are for the 6.5? Thanks in advance.

Figured I would start this thread to give those interested something to read. Just going to give a little history of the truck and keep everyone updated as the build progresses. Its a long read... The truck is a 2000 K3500 crew cab dually with a 6.5, obviously, 4l80e and 4.10 rear end. I...

Has anyone done any testing with dyno results with different precups? From what I have read, most seem to agree that the Diamond precups are the best to run for performance, but I have also seen some saying they have had good luck running different precups and even some custom machined ones. The...

I have decided to cut my losses with the electronic "power" build and go mechanical. Just not going to get the power I was wanting out of the electronic setup. I had decided on the Moose pump when I first decided to go mechanical. Can't beat the price at under $800 for 120-130cc db2 pump. Was...

I am looking for more information on the DS4 pump. I am in the process of trying to build a 6.5 and before starting the build I talked with several of the reputable 6.5 builders out there (Heath and Peninsular Diesel mainly). Peninsular said max output of their DB2 pump was around 310-315hp...
