Hmmm... 2 years later and no other video's about this project. I was really looking forward to follow up video's. I like your no nonsense approach to this.
The very first guy i have seen that takes this seriously and approaches it scientifically. Many others dont explain all kinds of variables that do matter if even a little bit. For example, you explained the current exhaust in perfect detail down to a bend. You also explained that you were close to sea level and the climate around where the truck was on the dyno. Dont ever change how detailed you go with things like that. They do matter and we appreciate it. Another guy might initially dyno his truck on a 95° day and after making an upgrade dyno again on a 45° day and think that few extra horsepower is from whatever component he changed when that may not be the case. You have to give detail. It gives honest results and might lean one of us viewers toward a particular purchase. Thank you for doin it this way man.👍
I love how you jump right in an don’t have a 30 min intro about useless stuff….Very informative, straight to the point, and thank you doing these videos, saving me a lot of money 😅
@@theweekendmechanic9447 in my opinion. It wasn’t that long. Everything you said had a purpose an was useful, it’s the first video of what sounds like a series, so a “longer intro” is expected to kick it off! I’m looking forward to upcoming videos you post!
The value of what you are doing, is likely to only be seen in the commentary. This documentation is going to help a whole lot of people make their machines run better, while wasting a LOT less money and time on trial and error experimenting.
That’s the goal. But the main reason is I couldn’t find any unbiased information myself. So I wanted others to be able to finally have it. Along with having a little fun and learning along the way.
Would love to see more content on this truck. I’m thinking about buying one and many of us want to see what they can do with more fuel and turbo upgrades. One of these with 300hp would be a fun daily
Changed everything but the ECM and Lift pump also checked and added grounds straight to battery continue to have a intermittent miss ... as an example my Chevy S-10 "CUTS OFF" at 98 mph so my problem with my 3500 6.5 Detroit is like that at anytime any speed also kicks out of lock up shortly after it goes into it
Hello, Very interesting. I have bone stock 94 except manual wastegate but, I noticed a large increase in power. I would say 20%. I have no idea what boost it gets to. I never did it for power, I was just tired of replacing vacuum pumps. But once I seen the increase in power and driveability it sparked my interest in 6.5 performance. Next lift pump. JKA
Id love to put my 1999 C/C 3500 5.7/NV-4500 on the roller behind that truck to compare the 6.5L to the last generation of the small block. I'm in the 75973 area code.

Me too
Hope this channel comes bsck
Been a year, what happened?

I thought the intro was still too long. I’ll try and make the others more fun but can’t exactly show any “work” on a stock truck.

Great video, hope to see some further progress
You've done a service to those of us that love these trucks. Looking forward to more of your research.👊👍
1999 GMC K35 6.5 dually crew cab 4x4
I used to have a 6.5 turbo and loved it. They are slow but the feel and sound great and get awesome mileage

This is quality content. Informative and straight to the point. Thank you.

Looking forward to more videos thanks for conducting and sharing this
Awesome video! Thanks I have a 96 k2500 suburban with a manual wastegate otherwise is completly stock 103k miles
If you have or obtain a high flow exhaust as seen in this video, you would basically have identical power numbers assuming healthy engine.
I look forward to this series. Thanks for doing this.
So where's the new videos lol
Hope to see more vids of this truck. I just picked up a 93 6.5 dually. Love it so far.
93 was the first and best year for the 6,5 Detroit I own. A 1999 3500 6.5 Detroit hate it so far 99 worst year
@@russell7105 yeah it's still doing good. The only major problem I had was stripped out starter bolts but I fixed that and she's been happy since.

When’s more content coming. Would love to see more
This is awesome! Thank you good sir
Awesome video, any updates?
Thanks for posting this info!
Updates please. This is the type of stuff I'm looking for
Can't wait for more testing I've done alot to my 6.5 and the butt dyno tells me I made a difference but I can't wait to get some dyno time to see
I hope you continue this it is a pretty awesome idea and very well done

I guess 12 psi is the maximum these engines can hold when they are stock?
Would like to see how it plays out got a 6.5 myself
So... did it blow up? Where's the next movie?
Do the 9 pin for the pmd I wanna see if it adds hp And its cheap
I’ll need to order one but can do
LOVE YOUR FUR BABY !

can we get the new videos?
Good info !
Next mod should be a lift pump upgrade and then tune
I'm on board. 94 owner here.
