New 6.5

[Goose57]

Hi all finally decided to order a GEP long block from Leroy,s I’ve pull many gasoline engines. Any thing special I should know pulling the 6.5,s?. I pulled the rad. and support to make it easier for me because I will be pulling it alone. I’d like to pull the trans. with the motor . I have the 4 lift chains bolted to intake bolt holes on the heads. Thoughts? Also anybody ever move the wiring harness from under the intake manifold to above the intake ? I’d like to assemble the top end while I have it on the stand and install it as complete as possible. Thanks Gus.

I’ve moved my harness to the top passenger side area of the intake manifold.I bought a couple new harnesses from glagulator who does a fantastic job with those.

An awesome job. I'd say

Thanks guys for the input. I was kind of concerned about bolt hole castings not holding where the intake bolts to. Anybody have a pic of the harness glagulator has?

Will the stock harness stretch enough to make the reach ?

Great guy to get in touch with if you have any electrical gremlins with these trucks.

That I’m not certain about but I think glagulator harness is made a little longer.

I believe so. I don't remember if I asked for longer, or if it's just the way he makes them.
I remember asking for a longer piece going to the Injection Pump to eliminate the little short optic sensor filter harness with the square block. Not sure I used the correct name there.
Please edit if I worded that poorly.
That might also be standard with his harnesses.

I never read thoroughly, but I have always removed that little harness and pitched it

Are they all the same?

I may have a new in the box harness here.

I don't remember which vehicle it was for.

 

[Glagulator]

Quad has them back in stock now.

Quad has them back in stock now.

Are they made so that they are long enough to route over the top of the intake manifold ?

 

[Glagulator]

They are made to fit like this -

Great job on the harness glagulator.That’s exactly how I route mine.Works out perfectly

 

[SnowDrift]

Will you be disassembling and having the rotating assembly balanced?

 

[Goose57]

Thanks Glad that is what I am looking for. Look like a clean installation bravo! . Got the motor and trans out all by myself 2days worth of work. Still have to get it on the stand and send the trans. out for a refresh. Are there any up grades worth doing while I have it at the shop?. I plan on a bunch of new parts and or upgrades. Upgrades: IP ?, Turbo ?, LP ? any suggestions ? high vol. WP, cooling fan, fluid dampener , exhaust and trans temp, fuel press. gauges. Air intake box. Already have boost gauge. Parts: ING,s GP,s and wiring, motor and trans mounts, Trans. oil and PS. coolers. Rad. and coolant res. Already have Leroy,s upgraded oil lines. CK sensor, turbo oil lines and return pipe. I have a spin on fuel filter set up from Leroy,s to install. Fuel tank and fuel hoses. Go through engine bay wiring. Thanks for all the help guys.
