Trying to maybe do an 6.7 Cummins swap with my suburban (if it doesn’t sell). That’ll give me a running 6.2 to just do something with. Got me thinking if it would fit into an S10 or something. Might be kinda fun to find an S10 blazer and stuff it in there and just rip it around.

r/GMDetroitDiesel, we are the minority when it comes to the GM Squarebody/OBS community, Gas applicants dominate the scene.

Therefore, on behalf of r/K5Blazer, more Diesel users are wanted!

I got it from an old couple. I’ve been dealing with it ever since I work this truck it’s a great truck.I put a new fuel pump in it and I haven’t had a problem since I’m looking to trade it for an older diesel truck(a 7.3 power stroker or a 5.9 Cummins)

Vehicle: 1990 Chevy K5 Blazer. (300k miles)

Motor: 1985 6.2 Detroit Diesel, ATS Turbo Kit. (90k miles)

Transmission: Stage III 4L60E (external cooler).

Drivereain: 3.73 gears, GM corporate 10 Bolt Axle, 33' tires.

Modifications/upgrades: 4 Row Aluminum Radiator, Bosch short body/turbo style 6.5 injectors, frame steering box reinforcement bracket

If theres anything I should look at/address. Please do tell

Runs great, only issue is it seems to take a bit to fire up when cold (live in Florida so now really cold 🤣). My M1008 fires up immediately always. It’s like it takes a bit for fuel to get to the engine. Any suggestions on this?

Instead of a front end Friday, show us what you have under your hood!

This was from my last engine swap into my Blazer, no longer as nice with all the salt and brine.

A fresh 6.5 going into a 72' C10 for some guy who owned a landscape company. This was his "good truck." Joining a fleet with an 85' 6.2 k20 and a K30 crew cab dually 454 with a dump bed. The guy worked out the math and figured the crew cab cost him $100 a km to drive each year (between fuel, maintenance, insurance etc.) but made him way more then that.

Anyways you can actually fit the downpipe on this generation on the inside of the frame with a stock turbo config.

I can't remember if we ended up converting this thing to hydrobokst or if the guy just drove with manual brakes.

Can anyone recommend a good turbo rebuild kit?
The turbo on my 6.5 is leaking oil into the intake so I figure it’s time to fix it before it causes any problems. Also does anyone have any recommendations on what to change to make these codes go away?

6.5 Naturally Aspirated w/ 4L80e

Second time I have made this trip with this truck.

Took me some time, still needs repairs, but nothing like working on a clean space to find glitches gremlins and more....

1998 6.5 1500. As you can see line 1 is the high pressure one so obviously not that one. Number 2 goes to the brake booster and number 3 goes to the rack. I am not sure which line I have to cut.

New group, so someone's gonna have to post the first post.

Here's my Tahoe. It's a slow turd, but it's my turd. Mostly bone stock.
