FS: 95 6.5L Turbo diesel engine parting complete engine - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

99-2door · 01-11-2005, 03:27 AM

I just bought a 95 K3500 SRW 6.5L TD with auto.

This is a L65 truck, not L56

The truck had a smashed grille and the aux. oil cooler was damaged. I bypassed the cooler and the engine starts and runs fine, shows no codes. There is a slight knock in the lower end. Because of that, I would consider the short block as rebuildable and not a ready to install engine. Runs fine and has good oil pressure, but I would go over everything before going to the trouble to install it.

I am installing a Vortec 5.7L so I am taking the 6.5 out.

The truck has 153,000 miles on it, seems to have been well taken care of. There are receipts in the glovebox that show on 10-18-2000 at 109568 miles the PMD and waste gate control solenoid were replaced and on 8-16-2001 at 118881 miles the fuel pump relay was replaced. That is the only history I have on the engine aside from the fact that it starts quick and runs well now.

So, list what parts you need and I will get them listed with a price.
Every part concerning the engine is available, including the turbo, radiator, electrical harness, dash harness, PCM ,etc.
Post here or PM me. Thanks

Listed so far:

Radiator with internal trans cooler $90
Turbo $235
Short block $300
Heads complete $150 each

Sold so far:
Fan & clutch
Vacuum pump
engine cover
alternator
air cleaner
fan shroud

All prices plus shipping. Everything available for local pick up of course.

Just a FYI, 99; a friend of mine bought a 6.5 diesel truck, (92, 5 speed, 3/4 ton)and put a SB 400 in it. The truck he used has 3.42 gears. I don't know if all the diesel trucks were like that or not. They're way to high of gear for anything but a hwy driver with stock size tires.
Just thought I'dlet you know, (if you didn't already).

Oh hell, while I'm here...How much for the radiator?

Mine has 4.10 gears in a 14 bolt full floater with G80.

$90 plus shipping for the radiator.

how long was it knocking before you took it out?

99-2door · 01-13-2005, 10:15 PM

Truck hasn't been driven since it was wrecked. I by-passed the cooler and drove it onto my trailer, unloaded it and drove about a 1/4 mile to see how it ran and then into my shop where it now sits.

99-2door · 01-14-2005, 02:50 AM
