Me and My Truck
 
Not much to say about me but the truck is my baby. 1995 Chevrolet Extended Cab Dually, 6.5 TD, 4x4 Country Coach Custom and well taken care of with 125,000 miles on her. When I am not tinkering with her and adding mods, I work as a safety director for electrical utility. I posted pictures of the truck, check it out! These pictures were taken right after I bought her. The previous owner used it only for recreation, complete stock until now, I am gradually adding the upgrades recommended by Heathdiesel.com
Will add more later as I make the transition from stock to a powerhouse.

Just a heads up bud, the 6.5L isn't a Duramax.

4" Diamond Eye Exhaust, Cold Air Intake and relocated the PMD so far.

I am confused about your statement that 6.5 isn't a Duramax? I am no diesel expert, newbie actually, but it has got Duramax listed in the build sheet as a 6.5.

do what?

blueridgeshepherds 09-11-2008 10:42 PM

I have the factory build sheet, the original owner still had it in the truck and seriously it has the 6.5 listed as a Duramax, like I said, I am no expert and will take your word for it but I was listing information about the truck off of the factory build sheet.

I really aint sure how to respond here.. I am pretty sure GM didnt even use the DURAMAX name till 2001..

Im gonna do some research..

is there any way that you might be able to scan that in and attach it up here for reference purposes? not calling you out i am just intrigued now as i too thought the 6.5's weren't Duramax's......

blueridgeshepherds 09-11-2008 11:01 PM

It certainly appears you are right. This is what I have found. I apolgize for my ignorance and now unsure if the previous owner didn't manufacture this build sheet himself.
The GM light-truck 6.2L and 6.5L diesel engines were optional in the 1982-2000 C/K series pickup trucks, and in the Suburban, Chevy Tahoe & Blazer, GMC Yukon & Jimmy, vans, and motor homes (RV) - in both turbo diesel (TD) and naturally aspirated (NA) versions. In addition, low cost and ready availability have made these engines extremely popular the world over for diesel conversion projects; powering Land Rovers, Land Cruisers, and a host of other foreign and domestic production vehicles.
The 6.2L saw its final year of production in 1993. While the 6.5 was replaced by the Duramax 6600 beginning in the 2001 model year Chevy and GMC vehicle production, the 6.5L diesel engine continues to be manufactured and sold by AM General. AM General is the manufacturer of the civilian H1 Hummer & military HMMWV.
The Diesel Page - for the 6.2L, 6.5L, and Duramax 6600 (6.6L) GM Chevrolet and GMC diesel engines.

Yes I will do that tomorrow, but now I am doubting the authenticity of this build sheet, I looked it up and should have before and it is exactly as you guys stated.

By the way the solution you guys gave me for the rusted and broken crossover pipe bolts worked, I did weld the nut on after using some PB blaster and was able to get them out.
Thanks for the help.:U:
