Is it possible to reconfigure it to the proper turbo set up or is the pickup 6.5 that different from the military 6.5?

It’s out of a Chevy pickup

My 6.2 has a blown head gasket which I’m gonna use as motivation to swap to a 1996 6.5T someone local to me is selling for $1,000 but I’m curious what exactly I have to do to make that work?

When it heats up on the road

The temp gauge is faulty and on the list of things to replace. It always reads 230-240 but my laser temp gun said the hottest it was after a drive was 205. When I got it the fan would run an excessive amount so I replaced the thermostat immediately and it helped. I forgot to set some fuel aside...

I just drained the tank and replaced the fuel filter on Saturday since I was told my local Wawa had water in their fuel recently. Can’t confirm if that’s true but I won’t be filling up there.

When I flip the ignition switch to the “Start” position, the truck starts up but when the switch is released back to “Run” the truck shuts down. If I hold the switch in “Start” position the truck will run for however long I hold the switch there and the starter will keep engaging the flywheel. I...

I always disconnect batteries in my vehicles when I’m playing with electrical systems cause that stuff scares me a little lol. Probably a stupid question but since there’s 2 batteries, is it sufficient to disconnect the rear most battery and leave the other alone?

what is that?

Hello y’all, I just got my first humvee about 3 weeks ago so I’m quite new to all of this. Last week I installed a keyed ignition not knowing they’re notorious for butchering the starter and unfortunately for me, it did exactly that. With the keyed ignition installed, the starter wouldn’t...
