I have a 6.5 I don't need and a bunch of other stuff for it including a Frybrid kit for a Suburban if anyone is interested.

For whatever disgusting reason, maybe I hate myself? I would like to have a 6.5 truck left the F alone so it doesn't esplode. I want something dumb in the stable for the worst case scenario. Something I can take a dump in the gas tank and it still runs.

Mine hasn't run in years. Computer freaked the f$#% out and the speedo needle was bouncing from 0 to 300 mph. You could have used it for a fan and it wouldn't shift. Then it ran fine. Then wacky again. Done. :biggun:

Reading through this really makes me want to turn my SRW K3500 to a dually; and Skylark I feel your pain on the 6.5.
I haven't even been able to get mine running and the urge to drop a 12-Valve in is almost painful at this point.

If your 6.5 has excellent compression and you want to throw in the towel I know a hoarder who would be happy to relieve you of it. :anitoof:

I had a 95 dually with a 6.5 in 96, and a second one about 8 years ago. There will not be a third 6.5 in my life.
I love a low crew cab OBS dually, but man I hate the damn 6.5s...

That would make a Powerstroke rolling coal smell good.

If you don't depend on them for stuff, they're not all that bad ya know.

You've encouraged me to stock up on milk stouts.

Stuff like starting, staying running, etc. Stuff like that you mean?

Honestly the 2nd one I bought was hurt when I bought it and I knew it, but the price was right. It was actually a 6.2 with 6.5 heads and turbo, sounded great but wouldn't pull a wet string out of a cat's a s s. All the noise, smell, and grime of a diesel but none of the power. They're not bad motors as long as you accept their limitations and don't treat them like a modern diesel.

Sounds about right.
