    how to tell the difference (looking at engine) between a 6.2 and 6.5L?

    I was hoping there was a way to tell from the top and or front. It was the auction trucks Im wondering if they could be miss labeled and how I could identify that from the pictures they show.

    clutch fans are locked to engine

    I can see why it would default to engaged. Cant have a down vehicle in combat. Strange setup. Opposite of how civilian vehicles work. Anyone else shed some light on the inter workings?

    Everyone's method for removing rusty, flakey paint?
