Yes. Ditto what superbuickguy said. The only thing you'll have to do is find someone with a genuine GM TECH II scanner to set the timing. You can get it started and running, but it won't run its best without setting the timing via the PCM. Funny thing is, you can rotate the pump back and...

I've had my 6.5L Tahoe for 10 years this month. I've gone through countless PMD/FSD modules, one optical sensor, and one complete replacement injection pump. Fortunately I had purchased a low-mileage 6.5L truck with a blown cylinder for cheap, and was able to swap that injection pump over when...

Dude! Sweet! Casey

I enjoy reading all your posts, AA1PR! Keep up the good work. Casey

Awesome, dude! Casey

No, the 2-door Tahoes are a weird mix. While the Suburban 1500 diesels came with the heavier-duty axles with 8-lug wheels, the Tahoe 1500 diesels came with the standard 1/2 ton stuff, including the 10-bolt rear end. I still got the 4L80E though! :D Casey

I've got the 10-bolt gov lock rear end in my 2-door Tahoe, and so far it's been holding up just fine. I've got 295K miles on mine. I think your idea with the semi-float 14 bolt swap is a good one. That's a good upgrade without breaking the bank and having to require a lot of extra work. Like...

Haven't had much time to do anything. It's my daily driver, so the miles have just been racking up is all. I've nearly worn my Kenda Klever's out already. Nearly 2.5 years and 30K miles on them. I was hoping to squeak out 40K, but I don't think I'm going to make it. Haven't been off road in...

I hadn't logged in for a while (life gets busy, ya know?) and was surprised to see what all you've done this summer! Looking good, man! Casey

Nice K5! Gotta love the Blazers! Casey

Looking great! I love to see another 6.5L diesel being cared for out there. I've got 288K miles on mine, and other than several PMD's, nothing more than general maintenance has been needed! Casey

I, for one, am really excited about this new Titan! I mean, this is the perfect in-between truck that no one has built for years! If you wanted a diesel option, it's either been a small grocery-getter, or a heavy duty tow rig. Nothing in between. A 5.0L Cummins V8? That's totally awesome...

A few from this past Saturday: Casey

LOVE IT! I sure do my miss my old '81 3/4 ton.... I had swapped in a turbo 6.2L. Casey

I'm always a little late to the party, but I just now got around to reading my latest issue of Peterson's. I was on a business trip and was at the airport waiting for a flight, when I finally had a chance to pull my magazine out. As soon as I looked at the cover, I thought to myself, "Hey! I...

Nice rig! I have a soft spot in my heart for Blazers and the ol' 6.2L diesels. I've owned quite a few over the years. Still driving a 6.5L daily. I still consider my current rig a Blazer / K5, even though it says "Tahoe" on the tailgate!! Casey

I got really lucky when I found mine. Just happened to stumble across it at a dealer's lot one Sunday afternoon. Purchased it next day. That was 9 years ago. Shot of mine on an Arkansas trail: Casey

Sweet ride! I have a 95 Chevy Tahoe with the 6.5L. I've got 284,000 miles on her now and she's running great! It's good to see another old school GM diesel on the forum. Casey

I have no problems sleeping in my 2-door Tahoe (think full-size Blazer). I fold down the back seat, and have enough room to stretch out with my feet against the tailgate. I'm 5' 8". Casey
