Well the old 6.5 in my Suburban gave up the ghost mid week. With 251,000 on the clock I guess it just had enough. Not really the way I wanted to start the year off but atleast I have a donor for it. I'll try to keep the thread updated as I go and post pics of the whole process. I will also be putting parts up on the classifieds for sale that I find can be reused.

Shouldn't be too hard a swap.

 

Oh its getting a P-pumped Cummins with a 47rh behind it shoved between the fenders of it. If anyone who has done it has pics of thier motor mounts I would love to see them.

Take lots of photos ! Good Luck !

 

Thanks. I plan on doing a write up after I'm all done with it for everyone.

 

Sounds like that's going to be a sweet ride. Can't wait to see it when you get done.

 

Well the tear down started. I've really not had allot of time to work on it and its colder then crap outside so here is what I've got done in about 8 hours of working on it.

 

Last couple of pics. The last pic is of my high dollar heater.

 

Well the 6.5 is out and I found out what was wrong with it. The flexplate busted apart on it again and was making the noise I was hearing. So now I have a 6.5 I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do with because it is not going back in the burb. This was twice the dang thing did this but this time I couldnt tell it until it was already out.

 

Ok if any of you all have built your own engine mounts pics would be nice. I just cant see paying what they want for these things.
