Waiting on my head stud kit to rebuild my 6.5 to drop in my blazer...thanks for keeping me inspired
You should make more videos about the truck. It’s a sweet build and i’d love to hear about the details.
Awesome job! Makes me want to rebuild my 6.5 I to have the nv4500
That's one gorgeous Truck you get there nothing better than driving in your truck on Listening to your tires howling, Nice engine and the Wind!!! My Favorite type of Summer day, along with that Awesome built 6.5L I know nothing about em except 92-93 where Mechanical and super desirable, I myself am a 6.2L guy Greetings from Across the Pond, Michigan!!!
Makes me miss my old built 6.5 only thing was she was an automatic would have much more preferred manual lol
I have an old k10 with 6.2 in it. At idle the motor wont die and will tank thru anything. Just need better dtr driveability. I get 26mpg+ but have been considering a full mech 6.5 swap with the nv4500 trans. Imo shuld be the offroaders dream setup. The torque these engines make is not a shit ton, but in allll the right places
Dude more videos please
What all did u do 2 ur truck? I have a 93 I want 2 build. Dose it still get good fuel milage?
I can’t wait to get my hands on a 6.5 Turbo for my 83 CCLB GMC
Got a great whistle to it.
Good job from Texas!
Nice bud wish you had more videos of it. Thanks for posting
Pretty nice truck, sounds good, love the flat black look.
Nice truck! I love the exhaust sound ! 👍👍🙌
Where did you get Those seats. They look super nice
I need to talk to someone like this to help me understand how this shit works for when I do this swap😂
What are you swapping?
I really got to do a swap for one of these in my 94 k2500 suburban.
Still have that Chevy 6.5? I had a rare '96 6.5 diesel Suburban and miss it dearly. Never got around to your mod level....I was just working on making it bullet-proof and high MPG, like replacing the clip-on oil lines, vacuum delete and +mech wastegate, big open exhaust, bigger airbox and turbo, etc...
EXCELLENT JOB 👍 AND SWEET SPECS
Need to find me a NV4500 for my dually build super clean truck !
dam that oil pressure.. im jealous.. also the miles... i put more miles that what ur truck has total, in one year, in fact i almost double that in my poor 6.5 its got over 400k n still runnin, iv helped it a few times but still original block pistons rods pushrods rockers cam valves everything.. its needed a few pmd before i fixed that problem, n a few other small things
How did you like the power of a built 6.5? I'm thinking about buying a 6.5 half ton parts truck too swap the drivetrain into my sierra for a nice highway cruiser with some get up and go to it, I'm not looking to make a drag beast but something that could give a stocker duramax a fair shake would be nice
Wrong front bumper?Nice truck!👍🏼
those are some nice mods. dont see too many people doing mods to these. ever dyno it? would love to see the numbers. i had an hx40 on one many years ago.
These engines are very sensitive to mods. In my area i see them for sale all the time blown up alot of young guys were getting ahold of them and hooning the shit out of them.
@@Big-lronThis truck had supporting mods done to accommodate power says in description.
Notice how much mans was able to communicate without saying a word here or doing jump cuts every two seconds? Other CZcamsrs should take notes.
Beautiful Rig!
NICE!
Good ole nv4500
hot humid? thats a cool dry day actually
Oh, sorry!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that aftercooler is in for one rude wake up call, 🤣🤣 its the onroad version only..
Intercooler ****

Sounds good
Thats a sweet rig
Thanks!
@@erickovacevich1 your welcome do still have your rig
@@GRVDGRLIFE4 no I actually sold it about a month ago. Really wish I would have taken more videos while I owned it!
Ive got a 93 ext cab 6.5 with nv4500 for sale rins perfect
that cooler at the bottom should get some more protection
Where did you get your intake horn? Did it come with the intercooler kit or seperate?
Awesome work on engine!!!
What intercooler setup are you running?
I would love to know the horsepower your making
180hp
@@goofyboi7061 that's stock... he is running 22 psi. With intercooler and 4inch exhaust on a built engine big turbo. So most likely 265 hp 470 lb of tq
I respect the love for the 6.5, but damn thats a lot of money when you can get the same hp and torque #s from a stock 12v just playing with the fuel screw.
*Holds up crucifix* GET BACK YOU DEMON. Jk of course. I just like the 6.5s and if you do almost all the work yourself it's worth it in my opinion.
I agree it cst a shit load of money to even make these reliable then how much to gain horsepower 12 v any day over a 6.5 I have a 6.5 and it’s stock I would not waste money on one of these engines to get horsepower ther great on fuel but that’s all I can say good about them I’ll take a 12 v any day over one of these if I wanna make power good to drive from a to b but in all reality it’s not worth the money to try to make these go fast it would cost a small fortune to get horsepower out of these motors
@@jeffleblanc8850 you are just a greasy dodge owner pretending to own one of these. The 12 valves are also gutless turds
Where does a Mr Goodwrench block come from?
What is the “ devilsown” thing? Never heard of it
Water methanol injection controller
Did you ever dyno it? Ive had quite a few diesels, but i always liked the older ones. With the new ones, it cost a fortune if something breaks!
I never did dyno this truck, but I sure wish I would have before I sold it. I've never really seen another 6.5 with this much done to it, so I couldn't even safely make a guess of what it was putting out! I hear you about the cost of new trucks, nothing quite compares to the sound of these things either.
@@erickovacevich1 I'm about to, to both my 6.2 and 6.5 😁 what do you think your power numbers were? I wanna TRY for 300+whp
Eric, I have a 94 6.5 turbo K3500 truck. It starting having a problem occasionally of not starting and getting worse. Cranking over normally, but not starting. I changed the fuel filter. Didn't help. I noticed two of the injectors are really oily all around them. I removed the air filter box to get a better look at the passenger side and found a lot of oil inside the turbo where the air box connects. Do you think the problem is bad injectors, or something else?
Check for blow by or do a compression test if you are able to.
pmd
If your experiencing oil in those areas around the turbo, sounds like you might need a new turbo is it is leaking the oil that it uses to cool itself, your starting issue is likely a pmd issue and discovering the turbo was by accident
@@raj9223 I found out both heads are cracked. Got new ones,all gaskets, glow plugs and injectors. Ive got the new heads on and torqued so far. I tried to turn the turbo fan by hand and its barely moves. Is it supposed to spin easily?
Change ur lift pump
Any updates on this ruthless 6.5?
If you would raise the back of the seat forward where it’s supposed to be then you wouldn’t constantly have to sit up like that just to take off and shift through the gears.
I wonder how much power it has?
180hp stock
All of it. Is what I would guess
My 6.5 giving me shit may end up selling i looked over everything swear. Took it back to the shop and apparently the aftermarket pcm wouldnt work with the new pmd i got
That's why I like the 92-93...all mechanical 6.5 turbo! I have 2 92's..one 2x4 and 1 4x4..both 5 speed granny low
Gostei da tomada de força na frente
There are far too many people these days that do not understand the importance of keeping EGTs down. Knew a guy with a coal rolling 24 valve Cummins tuned "for power" when he just wanted to roll coal....and he was bragging about his 1,300-1,500°F EGTs 😳🤦. I laughed to his face and walked off. A year later, his truck was hard starting, had an exhaust manifold leak, turbo was seizing up and you could tell the compression low on at least a couple of cylinders......he REALLY didn't like me laughing at that, but I warned him and Karma bit him in the butt for being a coal rolling idiot that didn't understand how diesel engines work.
Was there a big difference after the intercooler I wanna put one on mine
The Tractorman will make it much cooler and it's not a complicated setup. Would recommend
@@erickovacevich1
2nd the comment on the intercooler, definitely worth it
You got a link for thatvintercooler kit my guy?!?!
Sweet truck man. Is it on a stock clutch?
I have a 6.5 NA I'm currently building, where can I find these parts?
Is blow by common on 6.5s becauae have two that have zero blow by
JHorse508 blow by is common in clapped out diesels in general, just because they have such high compression compared to regular gas engines!
Damn that’s nice. Love it
Did you do the gapless rings?
What kinda boost would you make and what was the max and is it worth fixing the 6.5 up?
From what I've been reading lately, 12 to 15 psi is the max. Unless you get one of these trucks very cheap, it's hard to justify putting money into a 6.5, but if you pick up one for $1,000, it might be worth something looking into
Sounds like it stumbles a little under load
What charge cooler is that
Where did you get that upper intake
What kinda turbo is that too
I see you start off on 2nd gear
That's 1st low sits where 1st is normally
@@fredlandron6679 oh
@@fredlandron6679 Jesus Christ, don’t be so simple. The NV4500 is a FIVE SPEED Transmission, it’s not a four speed with Low. 1 2 3 4 5, no matter how many extra “letters” they put on the damn shift knob. I was at a drive thru the other day and asked for a Medium Drink, the asshole on the intercom said “we don’t have Medium drinks, only small, Large and Extra Large”..... are you sure that wasn’t you working the drive thru in there!!??
@@jlsgarage872 don’t listen to that dumbshit, yes, dude took off in second gear.
Hey man, shoot me a message, I want to pick your brain on some stuff. I’m just in the infant stages of custom building my 6.5 right now
Does it make that classic “blow off” sound when you let off?
Diesels don't use blow off valves as they are not throttled
@@JustFixIt99 pretty sure that isn’t what he is talking about
So.... is it fast ?
Where are you pulling the air from? I see factory air box is gone and intake to turbo seems to come from headlight area. Is the filter hiding down there?
Also, where is the coolant surge tank? Was it relocated as part of the WMI system?
Thanks for sharing, Chris built & coated a P400 for me. Just upgraded to the same Holset, waiting on John for a built DB2 :D
I can't even hear my turbo AT ALL but then again my truck is BONE STOCK what can you recommend with only 78,000 miles
I'd recommend getting it tuned that's the best thing u can do to a engine
4in exhaust, 2.5" crossover, 3in downpipe, a reputable tuned ECM, new harmonic balancer, new crank pulley, new injectors popped to 2300psi, after that... cooling mods... those, you can google..lol. :)
Getting rid of it... haha go buy you a 5.9 or a 7.3
@@nolansmith4972 7.3 and 6.5 are same shit pretty much
Is that a stock turbo?
What size exhaust are you running? And is it straight piped or do u have a muffler on it?
Straight pipe 4 inch
What gages u use
What all is done turbo intercooler ???? I have a 97
Meth injection, bigger turbo, different turbo blade size, kennedy waste gate, hardblok poured in water jackets to strengthen block, inter cooler, double oil coolers in front to keep it cool, bigger mariner injectors, built mechanical fuel pump with higher flow, bigger lift pump, probably missing a few things lol.
Eric Kovacevich nice set up! where did you purchase the intercooler?
What is that 'Devilsown' interface about?
Water/meth injection
About how much horsepower and torque to you think your engine is putting to the ground
180hp and 440 foot pounds of torque
@@goofyboi7061 215/440*
What vehicle did that front seat come from? I'd like one like that for my 96 Suburban!
I found them on craigslist and they were just some sort of universal seat and rail combo. They fit like a glove though. Sorry I dont know any more specifics lol
U do the paint job urself or in a shop how much did it cost
It was just flat black spray bombed in my driveway. Turned out pretty good, cost like 50 bucks lol
@@erickovacevich1 thats what i wanted to hear how many cans of paint what was the air tempatue was there wind what did you ocver your windows with
@@rileykirk11 I actually used a cheap air sprayer from fleet. Like $20. 1 gallon of rustoleum if I remember right. Kept spraying coats until it was gone. Just newspaper and masking tape over the windows.
@@erickovacevich1 how about the grille did you take the panel off? also after rust is set in is there anything to slow it down specifically in body panels
A bit old but interested in the center console setup you had in this truck. Do you remember where you picked that up or was it stock in this model?
This truck came stock with an ugly wooden flip up console, I actually ended up buying a different flip up console off of craigslist and fabricating some brackets to make it fit on the stock console frame.
@@erickovacevich1 any chance you know what it came out of?
@@littlejvl4 I never actually knew, I just measured the stock one and found one with the same dimensions. Sorry!
@@erickovacevich1 no worries thanks so much
Looks like a dodge maybe I’m wrong but ther big and square like that
how much did the engine work cost you? Did you have unique diesel build you a new engine?
Not sure on the cost, Chris from twisted steel performance built the engine.
what made you sell it?
Buying a house. Definitely miss it!
damn. I hope you're happy with your new house!
Am I the only one who hates working on em? 😂😂😂
where does your intake go to?
Intercooler
Two big questions:
1. How much power does it make now?
and
2. How does it compare to the Duramax also seen in the video?
1. I'm guessing he's at less than 300hp.
2. That duramax would walk all over any 6.5. Theres no comparison between the old style diesels and the new common rail engines. Stock the 6.5 is rated at 180hp and 440 torque, the duramax stock is close to 400hp and over 700 torque.
@@jgpenniesworth442 Thanks! Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought, gotta ask though!
Im jealous :)

Where did you get those seats man
Screaming craigslist find!
Wanna sell it?
Hey man sweet truck, what kind of exhaust you got on it.
Zach Weber hey thanks! It's a 4in strait pipe off the turbo. Trucks for sale of you want it!
Eric Kovacevich I would buy it but I'm live in Canada and I recently just bought. A 1994 6.5 step side. Good luck selling it though 👍🇨🇦
Eric Kovacevich is the truck still available?
"Fully built 6.5" for the guy that wants earth shaking power and torque probably all the way north of 150hp and 300lb ft. Lol
In this particular lane, the 7.3 Ford idi turbo is better in almost every single way. When the Detroit engineering team were asked themselves about the comparison between the 2 there response as to the pros over the Ford was weight and a slight fuel consumption advantage. When asked about the pro's of the IDI turbo their answer was, and i quote, "but the Ford is heavier"... Lmao

Ill tell you it isnt over 450 fully built the crank cant handle any over that. Iv had many of these and bam crank goes every time time to up grade to a cummins or dmax
Aaron Hilt, could easily be over 400. I’ve talked with Heath from Heath diesel extensively and the 6.5s can hold 400 with the old block set up as long as you take care of them. His old bonnaville truck is 500 on an old block that has parts from a 6.2 and the truck I’m building now will be around 550. He had 3 shop trucks all between 375-450 hp all stock except for boost which is up around 20lbs. He’s had them for years and they get driven frequently. With the new optimizer 6.5s you can safely run higher egts (to a point) and push more power. Before anyone says anything about them not handling boost that’s b.s. as well. I’ve had mine 303k miles, stock head gaskets and daily driven 160 miles 6 days a week at 25, screw the “can’t go over 12-15 reliably crap. If you ask Heath about the build plan on his Bonnaville truck he will tell you before they went with twin turbo they were thinking of compound turbos upwards of 75lbs of boost. The problem is NO ONE takes care of these engines properly and EVERYONE (myself included) has read online forums from keyboard commandos saying how shit these engines are. If you know the weak spots (harmonic balancer being one on the older blocks) then you can avoid 99% of all the problems they have.
Second issue is they take them to a diesel mechanic to get them fixed and the problem with that is these aren’t dmax or Cummins, they’re a 6.5. Compression is different, boost is different, block is different.
This guy did his research, and took his time building this truck and he did it RIGHT. I can promise you that was up near 400 or more.
Not trying to start a fight, just sick and tired of misinformation everywhere on these things🤙🏽
Whoever 'built' that engine for you had/has no clue what the hell they were doing.
Youre missing at least 1 cylinder.
Cant believe there are that many stupid people out there that not even 1 single person pointed that out.
yup I heard that miss as well!
I'm going to go ahead and guess that the fact that the owner isn't concerned, the tach being dead steady, and there being no noticable vibrations means that there is no miss...
@@6484373 Hi idiot. Those are not tests for missing cylinders.
@@ThunderAppeal You're right, they are not tests, but they are a simple giveaway when there is a miss that I was just pointing out. Once again I think the fact that the owner doesn't have this concern, and that he pinned your comment shows that the truck runs fine.
@@ThunderAppeal nah you just don't know what you're talking about. This truck runs great.
Do your parents have any money left to help another young man out with his 6.5? 👈👈👈😁😇🖖
