wmo in a 6.5?

[wmoguy]

Im seriously looking at 6.5td Suburbans for the wife and only interested if I can get away with running high % of WMO in this thing. How does the 6.5td's handle WMO if its' been filtered down?

depends on the year burb but 94+ is a big no no. The wmo messes with the optic sensor. Clean fuel only!

It can't be used in any vehicle. Its horrible on the environment.

get a mechanical pump and you will find it gobbles a frightening array of oil with good injector nozzles

Lol yea I know I was just trying to bring him back to the table to share his incorrect position. It would be very tough to tell this idi crowd you can't run WMO..

people always poo pooed me for it.

You can do an optic sensor bump. I ran any old junk fuel I could find in both my 94 pos block cracking silverado and later in 2000 navistar block powered 91 burb. Both had the ds4 ip.

tell me about it, i have heard enough about how my engine will be dead in weeks. that was years ago, burning WMO is an acceptable means of recycling according to the EPA last time i checked.

you will have the fewest problems with the non-DS4 motors. GM 6.2/6.5's will eat WMO just as well as a IH IDI.

thx Calvin. I'm having a hellacious time finding a decent 1991-1993 Burb w/ the 6.5 that isn't trashed, or they want as much as it cost new. I've got my feelers out there, but also shopping for a 4bt and maybe just doing a swap in a Tahoe/Yukon (the size vehicle the wife would prefer anyway)

Why are you looking for 91-93?

prolly because they don't look like an old dog. 83-91 is the old body style GM.

Ds4 is fine just get a pdm cooler and relocate the pdm behind the front bumper. The optic sensor function can be programmed out. The advantage of the ds4 is bigger fuel lines and it can command more fuel.

If you look hard enough you can diesel tahoes.
