Great project. Had a 97 K2500 4x4 with a 6.5 and 4L80. LOVED IT.
So glad i stumbled across this build. Love what you’ve done to it. Great looking truck. Everybody has been giving me crap about looking for a 6.5 this has just made me want to find one even worse! Definitely subscribing and looking forward to more content! Keep it up.
You wont regret it. I have a 96 k3500 crew cab long bed that's about to roll over 300k and push 20mpg on the highway
I love these trucks! Truly underrated in my opinion. I am buying a 98 K1500 with the 6.5 next Saturday which I have some wild plans for. Will probably do some kind of build series on it. Your truck looks so clean tho! Impossible to find them in that condition where I live unfortunately
I was done with mine when the new diamond back exhaust was put on the broken bolts where drilled out and through bolts was used and it works great. Sounds good and looks good. 👍😎
Thanks for watching!
1:31 in and had to pause to say SWEET!!! Lol i work as a mechanic at a crane company and had to replace an old worn out exhaust system on our freightliner. So when it was all off i fired that bad boy up to see and was surprised... i actually think my old Chevy 350 was louder.
I ran my 6.5TD with no intake to check for fuel leaks. That was loud.
Thanks for the video. Back to watching
Yes, was just curious and I expected it to be louder also. Thanks for watching!
I broke 5 of 6 of my bolts off and no amount of welding nuts on would get them off. I drilled them out with brand new cobalt drill bits stepping up in size gradually. I ended up just drilling all the way through and running a nut and a bolt on the other side of the flange. so far no problems and no leaks... Also love the Falcon.
I love watching these old bones videos I am buying a 96 Chevy diesel and there aren’t May videos out there. Thank you sir for the great content
Thanks for watching. More Old Bones videos coming soon.
Epic Cars awesome! Hey have you heard about the “PMD” people say on the 6.5 you should relocate them?
Yes. I specifically chose a pre 1994 truck because it has mechanical injection rather than computer controlled so I don’t have a pmd. But it is a easy fix. They placed it in the valley of the intake which gets very hot. Just get an extension and relocate to a cooler location. Easy job. I talk about that more in the Worst Diesels Ever: 6.5 Diesel video a put out a few months ago. Take a look at it and it will help with your upgrade options.
Epic Cars awesome defiantly will check it out, especially Bc I am buying a 96 6.5. Thanks for all the help. I appreciate it
@@LobbsTrucking relocate it, there are other problems as well , look to spent another 1200$ for things depending on what was done on the rig
She sounds great! Another trick to possibly get those broken bolts out would be to buy some left hand drill bits and try to drill them out if theres room. The left hand ones work good for extracting bolts because as they weaken sometimes the drilling will catch them enough to make them spin out. Then theres no thread repair needed on your manifold
That is a fact and it works out more often than not your dually.is looking sharp as a rack your really like my love my 96 it's the same thing only 5speed I put the 4x4 on.my hips back there right dead center.and everyone says it is sharp. Good job buddy
yes the crossover is needed for the turbo to spin, but i heard about some removed turbo and used a blower instead.. then you also get the sweet V8 sound
i had the same issue with my bolts shearing off. I removed the manifolds to have better access to the threads. Took a Torch to it just to warm it up-applied pb blaster-did that a few times over a couple of days. Then on the 5th day i welded my channys to the thread(broken bolt) and my torched it red hot and just started cranking on it. Back n forth spraying more pb heating it up till it nearly melts. It was the biggest P.in my A..But patience and perseverance paid off. I will say though, next time- i will just buy em- new.
Yep, they are not fun. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I had drilled mine ,4 bolts out of 6 broke, drilled them in steps of small to almost the size of the bolt , then retapped the threads with a m10 x 1.5 tap, slow but worked
Sounds Very Nice !!
Thanks for watching.
Air hammer worked great for me
This is the exact truck I’m looking for...
Yes. Mine also. Even down to the the topper without windows. A true needle in the haystack.
ChevyManZ7155 sell ya mine 1993 Chevy Cheyenne rust free
I watched some of your other videos, and you do a great job of filming and explaining. This particular system to me is a bit too loud, on the hi-ways. Don't like yelling at passengers to hold a conversation. Plus I prefer a stick shift. I have an 83 dually and 93, both with 6.2s. Your videos are helpful. Thanks for posting.
joe quillun thanks for the comments. I agree that the more I have driven as my daily the loudness can be an issue at times. Mainly the vibration from the downpipe rubbing against something in the engine bay or firewall. I will be digging into that in upcoming videos. And yes, would definitely prefer a manual trans. I am actually looking into a swap at the moment to see how hard it would be to do. Autos are nice but for what I will be using this rig for, a manual trans would be perfect. Thanks again.

I believe the NV 4500 is the OD of choice for your rig. It would be an awesome conversion. My 83 dually has 4.10s, and an SM465, (no OD) and I'm thinking about a Ranger conversion. No fun having to drive 55,
even the trucks and buses fly by me.
What Walapop said was a great idea. Unfortunately when I did mine I too broke a bolt. I got frustrated with just one. Lol
So I threw in the towel and just drilled that puppy out. I put on a bolt and a nut on the other side and cinched her up good. Its not my cleanest work.... but it goth the job done.
I seriously doubt thats Blow by. It does make me wonder about the timing.
You might get that checked. Could be injectors.... could be alot of things actually. But the good news is none of them are very bad fixes. Just can be time consuming troubleshooting it. Kris Stratton and John Faddis are the experts there. You might give them a shout on Facebook.
I think that is what I will end up doing. Just drilling them out and putting a bolt through and nut on the manifold side. I tried the left hand bits and could not get them to take. Not sure if the stud is just too hard from repeated heating and cooling from the engine. I would have thought they would be more brittle, I mean they broke but trying to drill them out was not working. Will work on this weekend. Thanks for the comments
I’m looking into getting a 93 with a 6.5 turbo diesel and love the way this sounds and looks( one I’m looking at is a crew cab dually)
Yes, stay with the 93 to get the mechanical injection. Much better. Good luck with your purchase and I will be doing more 6.5 vids soon.
Epic Cars I will actually be trading my 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 for it. Would that trade be worth it in your opinion?
Did you do it?
How's the old 6.5 still running
I was warned about those bolts when I working on my 94 6.5. I found that if you spray them down with rustoleum rust dissolver and let it sit for a day, then hit it with some PB blast. It made the bolts significantly easier to break free. In fact I got 2 of them out without much trouble. For the others I made a brass hammer for my impact and just whacked the crap of them for a few minuets each. This shocked the treads and hit them with some more PB blast. In the end I managed to get them out but it was a pain and about a week long process. Out of curiosity did you put anti seize on the bolts when you put them back in? Anyone know if that makes it easier the next time you have to remove these buggers?
Byron Wieneke thanks for the comments. Yes, the bolts are buggers. I did put anti seize back on them in case I ever have to take them off again. Hopefully I won’t have to find out. Thanks for watching.
7:00 min of vid.. thats an easy fix bra I’m surprised u couldn’t get them out .. welding a nut n same heat gets them loose .. but oh well better luck next time.. keep them vids coming
@Arica Osting 👍👍👍 good deal
13hp sweet!!
I had to drill mine out and rethread
dude.. what..???..... how would the wax get sucked up in there if thinner penetrant isnt working..?? lol
Man, I’ve been there! Rusted bolts can be the worst, how did you ever make out with them?
Scott Stcyr ended up drilling them out. Tried everything to get them out with no luck. Had to use smaller bolts for the flanges after drilling out but they seem to be doing fine. Thanks for subscribing and commenting.
Muffler??
Looking for the link can’t seem to find it
Here is the link for the crossover pipe. The exhaust link is not working anymore so I assume the seller is no longer available. Just search for Diamond Eye exhaust online. I have heard though it's tough to find these days due to Covid issues and backlog in shipping. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I had too drill all 3 of mine out and used bolt and Nuts...
That is prob the best course of action available even on non screwed up manifolds.
You can’t spool the turbo unless it’s got the crossover pipe (you can you just won’t hear any whistle)
Yes, I figured that out after the fact. Kind of new to turbo's. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
These are a great motor if taken care of. I recommend going to quadstar tuning for all your 6.5 needs. His tunes are AMAZING and he has some awesome turbos that wake these trucks up. I would talk to him about a tune and a manual wastegate for the turbo. But whatever you do. Don’t go any further then 12-15 psi these factory turbos are just big hot air compressors past 15 psi.
If memory serves the 6.5L has a turbo silencer as well as the crossover exhaust pressure not spoiling turbo.
The 6.5 uses a borg warner turbo so it has no silencer and yeah without the drive side exhaust manifolds help its not gonna spool the turbo fast enough
Without the crossoverpipe both manifolds has a big hole out to the atmosphere. no exhaust is going thru the turbo.
Ya need them yellow propane tank map fuel with automatic start. Gets stuff ya hotter
Not a fan of Diamond eyes down pipe yes its better than the stock junk pipe but that ball joint at the end of it is restrictive Heartthrob has a kit thats a true 3 inch till it flairs out to 4 inch
Are you related to Eric the Car Guy?
IF HE WOULD HAVE HEATED THE MANIFOLD AROUND EACH STUD ONE AT A TIME THE STUDS WOULD HAVE CAME RIGHT OUT. LET COOL AND RUN A TAP IN EACH HOLE TO CLEAN THREADS BEFORE INSTALLING NEW STUDS.
When you give it gas, it sounds like a 5.7 plus a whistle.
What exhaust
Ryan Bracley Diamond Eye 4” exhaust with crossover pipe and a muffler. Link is down below in the comments of the exact system I installed. Really happy with it so far. Thanks for watching.
Thanks
Should have been careful in the first place and they will come off every body is always in a hurry it’s Mickey Mouse they need to be tight like another comment said not tight no boost they have to be tight
just cut the bolt off n drill it out man 10 minutes :p most of the time when drilling the bolt out it comes out anyway, yea the threads gets ate up a little but they still work most the time
Yea I fell you're pain
That's a clean 93. I love the 6.5 but the turbos that came factory on them are pathetic. Makes me sad. #HX35swap
Thanks for watching James. Yes, “bigger” things yet to come in future episodes!!
Just slap a hx35 on one
Did you get the H35 turbo? If so did you notice power improvement I m planning to replace mine with a better one..
No crossover no boost. A little leakage no big deal. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING A LITTLE LEAKAGE IS LOST BOOST. THOSE 6.5 DONT BOOST THAT MUCH TO BEGIN WITH.
Not only that the beat best be aimed away from the floorboards to not trying to be a know it all I just waded that creek before I know how deep it is
you need load to build boost.... hold the brake and pin her... swhiiiiiiiiiiii
Rust sux. Move to California. Lol.
California sucks
Ill take rust over communism any day. Colorado isn't bad for either
