    Used to have a 6.5 back 8yrs ago and it was a good truck. But there is a laundry list of stuff I would suggest to do to the truck to get the best performance out of it. #9 fuel resister, new crossover pipe, Marine injectors, intercooler kit, different turbo, fuel bowl delete after putting in a fuel and water separator with lift pump, get it tuned, build the trans, swap the t-case for a built np203/205, change gears front and rear, head studs and better gaskets, 175° thermostats, dual electric fans.....I could keep going all day. Money is the limiting factor

    Wicked 6.5 guys. I have a 98 6.5 with a holset hx-35 on it and tuned with the diamond exhaust and y'all need to replace those glow plugs. There's a kit on eBay that's easy as pie to replace the wimpy stock look for that. Also I live in Ohio we should link up. I've bought and built 2 6.5's and can definitely throw some knowledge y'all's way or a race :)

    I've got a 6.5 too it's dually that was wrecked and I'm working on fixing the body back and I think the motor might need a rebuild if so I will just shoe horn in my spare 12v Cummins and buy a nv4500 and rebuild the 6.5 later and put it in a square body or a rat rod

    This is why I never buy a lifted, big tired or pimped out truck from anyone. I do not understand why fucking up the drive train and brakes make sense to anyone. burning up tires and over reving the engine and shortens the life of such a great machine. Why is it such a mystery to understand that. Go get a shit dodge and abuse that instead.
