pontiacman, you need to keep searching for that 6.5 love. you will find it, maybe.

it doesn't have the legendary cummins nameplate. it's just designed by detroit.

can't throw a few mods on it, turn it up to 500 hp, and have it last. just a light duty diesel.

doesn't grumble and rattle like a powerstroke. just idles pleasantly.

i would definitely not go rating the 6.5 as one of the worst engines out there. like jim pointed out, this site draws by far the people that are experiencing engine trouble. there is still thousands of these trucks running fine.

my buddy has a 95 6.5 F code. the truck has close to 310,000 miles on it. one injection pump.

i like my 6.5, a lot. and i will keep playing with mine till i manage to blow another one up.
