Hello to All, My name is J.R. and I live in southern Ga. I have been a heavy equipment field tech for several dealerships for about 30 yrs. Recently I purchased a nice 95 with the 7.4 to pull a 32'' camper with and shortly thereafter found a one owner 94 k3500 with a blown 6.5,which while exploring repair options, led me to this website.Here's a couple of pic's of the trucks and I will be looking forward to gaining knowledge from this Forum.

Welcome!
Those are some sweet trucks! Do you know what is wrong for sure with the 6.5L?

Cracked #8 bores were more common in the 97-99 trucks.
Unit had an engine swap at some time???
Find a decent block and swap everything to it.
Been down this road a few times with these lovely Dahooooly trucks.
Good luck and welcome aboard
