    Default New here from minnesota

    Just thought I should say hello. I'm new here but not new to diesels. I currently own 11 cheys with 6.5s or 6.2s. I can't seem to get my sig to stick but will get that figured out[entered it twice now]. I have tons of pics and will get to posting them hopefully some time soon. I have one in my avitar now. I enjoy sharing my experience as well as learning from others.
    Now back to reading, Barry
    PS got a couple pics to load. I need to resize the rest. Sig also loaded

    Wow! I don't think I've ever seen anyone with such a large collection of 6.5L's. Are these all personal use trucks, or are they business use?

    Thumbs up

    Nice fleet, and welcome aboard!

    I've been called (and conceded), a pack rat. Now, I'll have to deny it. "Wow!" is spot on.

    That's quite a collection! How many complete engines do you have?

    I'd say you're on the edge of being a bit crazy....and I LIKE IT!!

    The 92 is my favorite so far. I haven't really done anything to the engine yet other than glow plugs[used ac g60s but should have used bosch] and new hearthrob 4" exhaust with a 2 1/4 mandrel bent crossover. Even with the 3.40 gears it is a workhorse. It pulls 10,000 lbs at 70mph pretty easily. I did put a flexsteel seat in it that is comfy. Kind of a hot rod running empty.
    I have over 20 complete engines. !2 of them have serious problems so they are parts engines. I've junked 6 trucks for parts.
    I got slowed way down last week by a serious back reinjury. I can only stand to play with my trucks for a hour or so a day. I start phy. therepy on monday. I can only hope it will help.
