I had a 95 6.5. Two or three lift pumps and a new injector pump, finally found the real problem was the FSD. Chevy mounted it at the back of the engine on top of the manifold and the heat would crack it. Once the fsd was moved away from all the heat, no more problems. FSD cost around $50, took 15 min to change. New injector pump was around $1800 and took a day to change. Which one did the dealer want to change?
All I have at home is a regular old lever gun, more than adequate for a couple vehicles and a few small pieces of equipment.That's the deal I don't have a whole lot of stuff to grease, just the tractor, mill, and backhoe..... I just want something simple that works on demand.
I went ahead and ordered a new alemite lever gun off evilbay for $35 hopefully it will actually function.....
If not, I'll come back and tell y'all how cheap and dumb I am....
I had forgot about that, now that you reminded me, I do remember hearing that, that was a pretty good fix. My buddy plows snow with a 6.5, it looks like he!!, but it's just a plow truck now.
6.2 or 8.2? The 8.2 was an absolute disaster, damn near the end of Detroit Diesel.
That'll haul gobs of weight....... very slowly...This one is for sale also. GM dump bed. 24,000 miles! 5.7 gas engine with a standard transmission. new deck and framework. Not sure that's enough engine for a bed load of wood or gravel while also trailering 10k to 12k lbs?

Whatever you feel is best for you. I got an electric because they are fast a hassle free. Do I really need one? Probably not. However,That's the deal I don't have a whole lot of stuff to grease, just the tractor, mill, and backhoe..... I just want something simple that works on demand.

Will it do it pulling 12k also though is the question? I'm not a fast driver to begin with and we don't have highways on the Island.
Yes, it will...... very, very slowly.
Gotcha!
That's a lot of weight for a 350 IMO. It'll probably do it, but will be ungodly slow and will get crap fuel mileage...hopefully no hills to traverse either.
It'll do it, hell...they used to haul old-growth out of these hills on trucks with less power than that, but will be really underpowered by modern standards.Hills?
Well KK, you can cross the 5.7 GM dumb bed off the list of possibilities!
Yup, that's a better option.
That's an option. It's going to take a lot of steel, but you could even build a dump bed for it. Just do what the tweakers around here do, go dismantle steel bridges out in the timberland/forest for the steel lol.
There are many factors when it comes to price, but I do have a budget. Just like most of us.
