Chevy 6.5 What should I be looking for when going to look at one.
Hello everybody, I am planning o. Going to look at a 1995 Chevy k2500 next week with a 5 speed manual in it. It has 255,000 miles on it. Is It worth going to look at it? The owner has put many brand new parts on it and should I be worried about the miles on these engines. Thank you very much!

Do your homework on the 6.5. Make sure it suits your needs. They are fuel efficient and cheap to work on compared to other diesels, but don't think that your getting the power of other diesels.

There is a very nice list in the 6.5 FAQs on Dieselplace .com for what to do when buying a 6.5 diesel, that should answer all your questions. Feel free to post up anything else after you've read through that. I can link you to it if you can't find it.

List is too long for things too look for but a simple google search will tell. If you plan on using it for towing make sure you run through the gears and see if you'll be satisfied. The nv4500 5 speed has a big 3-4 shift gap. I love the trans behind my Chevy Cummins it eats gap up quick . but for 6.5s I prefer automatics trans just lugs it too much unless u shift 26-2800rpms
