    Default New to the 6.5L world!!!

    Here is my new (new to me anyways) it is a '95 6.5TD 5-speed completely stock, down to the original exhaust (which began to fall off today). I plan on doing some upgrades that I read about on here. I think first 2 things I am going to do is intake and exhaust and then do gauges and then the cooling upgrade. Then we will see where we go from there...(PMD relocator, chip, etc). It has 128,000 original miles, I am technically the 3rd owner but the 2nd owner only had it for a year or 2 and sold it back to the original owner who I bought it from. On the drivers side where the mirror meets the door there are 2 spots of rust that I plan on getting fixed hence the lack of pictures of that side. I'm only 21 and a college student so this is my daily driver as well as weekend tow vehicle. We tow a 10,000 lb 2 car race car trailer to and from our local track and tracks that aren't so local.

    Welcome to TDP

    Nice looookin DaHooooley

    Many outfits make a package exhaust system that are great.
    My 95 crewcab has a Banks Stinger system on it along with a Turbo master and a chip in the ECM.

    Good luck with the new ride and again welcome to TDP.
    If ya need any help on an issue just pop in and post a question.

    Best
