diesel to gas

[greme]

i know everyone is going gas to diesel, but i'm actually thinking about getting rid of my 6.5 td in my 95 3500, for a 454 gasser. i can't find any info on a diesel to gas swap. anyone done it or know where i can find info?

Hi
Going from diesel to gas is fairly simple.Why are you considering the switch?
GM motor mounts are all the same when it comes to motors that were installed into gm trucks.If you use a tbi motor you will need the computer to go with it.carberated would be way easyer.
Are you having problems with the diesel?93 is probley one of the most wanted year of the 6.5,no computer controls for the motor.Lots of info in other forums if you are having problems with the diesel
Good Luck

thanks for the info. is the radiator the same? well i have heard alot of bad things about these 6.5's. i just picked up a 95 with a really clean body / frame. i plow with it and it runs really hot. i may need a new radaitor. i'll check out the other forums for help witht his motor. i was always a gasser guy. much easier to work on for me.

New radiator and the cooling upgrade are a heck of a lot easier than a motor swap!

yeah, i put a 180 temp t-stat in it. ( it has a new water pump already) it helped but the truck still gets pretty hot under a load and with the plow on. next step is the rad. i think the upper part is clogged.

Plowing trucks with 6.5's are known to run a bit hot. Make sure your plow isn't blocking your grille and the vents in the bumper. Next step is to run an OEM T-STAT ONLY! The aftermarket ones are known for all kinds of problems in the 6.5's as the bypass spring is the wrong tension in them. The 99+ water pump along with a good HD fan clutch and a DMAX fan blade should eliminate your overheating. If it doesn't then you've got some issues with the 6.5 that require attention.
