the 92/93 trucks were the only trucks with the turbo and all mechanical pumps with spring only wastegates and no ECU's. also only the 1500's have egr stuff on them, hence why your truck is so simple and clean.
dude-
it's a brand new motor.
gen2 shortblocks was recently released to keep up with the humvee meltdowns. uncle sugar was paying $10k/ea. for just the shortblocks.
with the cooling jets, they are now as reliable as the IH idi's
DUUUUUUDE!
It's also 4300 bills! In an age when you can buy a low milage running 5.9 12v with trans for $1500 and do the swap for less than a grand double the power and longevity why would you spend that kind of cheese?
Uh yeah thanks, but this will never be a project truck and I have no interest what so ever in putting a cummins in it. My Dad needs a reliable tool carrier not another cummins build project.
So far the 6.5 has been reliable and the knock has still never returned. It was born with a 6.5 and will die or be sold with one. End of story.
