I hate to hear that!! So many shops seem to have no clue how to work on the 6.5L, yet it's a very simplistic setup! I think the best 6.5L expert is www.kennedydiesel.com with a distant second being www.heathdiesel.com There are lots of shops who claim to know the 6.2L/6.5L, but obviously...

Thanks chilli! I actually had to replace the injection pump a couple of years ago, but fortunately I had purchased a used 1997 C3500 for parts, and it had a good pump on it that I was able to use. Casey

Well, I figured it was high time I finally start a build thread on my 1995 Chevy Tahoe 2-door diesel that I've now owned for over 11 years!! Here is how she sits today (fall of 2016); this picture was taken at Black Mesa, Oklahoma, July 2016: I didn't intend for this vehicle to become an...

Looking great! I've got a soft spot for the GMT400 trucks. Gonna paint that cap black? That would look killer. Casey

Just FYI: I'm in the trailer hitch business, and I am not aware of any hitches on the market that mount on the outside of the frame; they all mount to the bottom of the frame rail. You'll probably need to modify your existing hitch. Casey

Snowing?!?! That's crazy. Here in southern Missouri, we typically don't see any snow until December. Some winters we don't see much snow at all. The last two years we had just a few inches for the whole winter. This year may be another "wet" season, though. Casey

It only took me about three years, but I finally built my own tire carrier based on your design, 1meanz! Thanks again for sharing your creation! Casey

Found a small mud hole that I couldn't quite clear on the Rawley Mine / Bonanza trail in Colorado. Luckily my buddy with a built 4Runner was able to winch me out without much fuss. Made for good stories the rest of the trip. My wife let out a good scream when we fell in! I was actually...

From a recent trip out west to Colorado. This was taken at Black Mesa State Park in Western Oklahoma. Casey

I'm digging it man! I love the older rigs. That looks like a real beauty! Casey

Looking good! I'd like to get an ARB for my rig.... Casey

I didn't realize there was another 2 Door Diesel lurking on here! There's not too many of us. Me, you, chilliwak.... any others? Any recent updates, BlackPearl? I see it's been nearly a year since you updated this thread. Casey

Looking good! I've always had a soft-spot in my heart for the 2 door SUV's. Casey

Interesting information! I was not aware of that particular camper. Thanks for sharing. That does make the Bronco more interesting, if indeed it has that style of camper.... Casey

At least the camper built for the Blazer platform was actually built to fit the Blazer body.... that Bronco obviously has a standard camper slid in there. I wonder how they're keeping dirt and dust out of that massive gap between the cab and camper? Casey

Looking good, man! Casey

Yes, the 6.5L turbodiesel was available in the Suburbans from 1994 through 1999, and produced in much higher quantities than the 2-door Tahoe. Why GM never made a diesel 4-door Tahoe is beyond me. Casey

Sweet!! I'm catching up to you!! Casey

Yes you can. I just cut some window screen out of a large roll from a hardware store, and attach it to the rear of my Tahoe with magnets with the lift hatch opened. I also have screens for the front windows as well. Casey

Yes, all 7.3L Powerstroke diesels were completely computer controlled with no accelerator cables. This engine debuted midway through the 1994 model year as a drive-by-wire system, meaning there is no accelerator cable and no mechanical connection between the accelerator pedal and the engine. I...
