i would use the banks if i had the money i have the oil return plate of the other truck, now i just have to decide if i should rebuild the old turbo or use it as it is, it has a little shaft movement but the blades don't touch the walls. also ive been chasing this one down for some time is there...
Guess I got lucky then mine was not that rusted, yes I know all about the salt up north that's why I went to Florida. I started a build thread on mine to, take a look if ya want

Definitely want to install turbo, but I need to figure out how I'm going to do it i would like to use a lot of 6.2 parts. how did you do yours did you keep stock injectors and use spacers for the manifolds, and how did you make the manual boost. did you use stock fuel pump?
If anyone knows about the in cab external heater for these trucks I would love to learn more. It would be awesome to shut off the noisy diesel while hunting and stay warm:beer:
ya he is awesome at body work. he is doing it for me, i could do it, but he offered and knowing how good he is i couldn't pass up the deal. The truck is down in FL right now going to try and get it back up to ME soon so i can start working on it myself still a lot i want to do when he is done...
.
I have to thank my dad for the body work he is doing on the truck for me. He is the best i know at it. I will be doing engine work to it when shes back up to Maine.
I would like to hear some comments and talk tech specs. im interested in learning about the extreme cold heaters for hunting up hear in Maine and about doing a 6.5 turbo in a 6.2, I spent a day in the scrap yard and have already picked up a turbo set up for 25$ best deal ever.
Hey can I do build threads on this web sight? I'm doing a pretty nice build on a truck I would like to share with people its a 85 M1008 low low 18000 miles
