Hey Guys,
I'm new to diesel engines, especially, when tuning is involved. I have vast experience tuning carbureted gasoline engines, so, not totally helpless.
Obviously, no "Plugs" to pull and wires to OHM etc. ...Is there an archives link on "tuning" the later ('99) 6.5TD engines?
 
You need to first learn the 6.5 is an ok engine AFTER basics are done.
If you are gonna bump power more than 50hp/100 torque you are rebuilding the engine or it will self destruct.

If you are chasing mpg- easier but still many of the same mods and far less risky to engine life.

Far more impact is made by turbo, injectors, etc than tuning on these engines.
Describe what you have, what your goals are. From there we can help
