I highly doubt 12v 6.2/6.5 glow plugs would survive more than one or two cycles. Especially not during the afterglow process when the alternator is running.
You need to have the plugs replaced with proper ones. Also the connectors. And replace your mechanic while you're at it.
My apologies for the maintenance and downtime. Trying to work on a few upgrades for the site. Unfortunately I am not able to know when someone is in the middle of a upload.
Sorry, that's not an option. I have to paint it back gray for my cousin. Also there was a number stenciled onto it that I'll put back in place. I could say it's navy gray right?
Some things to consider about the duramax and cummins is the drivetrain behind it. You're going to need to upgrade the transmission at least. Then you need to consider the half shafts. Then with the cummins, you're going to need a body lift to clear it. I'm uncertain about the duramax...
Did the military ever use the SA200 line of welders? I've been given my uncle's welder. (He passed a few years back, Korea vet) While it's a civy unit, I hoped perhaps the military employed them. I have a M105 trailer here I might load it into and make a welding rig. I'm going to restore...
Putting a deuce C turbo on a 8.3 would certainly give it a whistle, but consider you're replacing a more modern (90's design) turbo for an archaic design. It might give you the sound you want, but I'd be concerned with the reduction in performance you'd end up with.
15w40 diesel rated oil for the engine. You'll need 8 quarts. For the filter, you have a few options:
Ac pf35
champion lab ph1218
fram hp4
fram ph13
fram ph5
mobil1m1302
motorcraftfl12
purol30040
purol34631

Now for the glow plugs, do you have bad ones...
I have no problem with that. But I don't know how to devise a link that you're asking for. (Feedback is under each user's profile, I could make a link that says feedback, but it'd point to the memberlist, which wouldn't show feedback, probably cause more confusion than help) Also, so long as...
Indeed there is a wealth of knowledge here. But the problem is often times people only say "Read the TM" or "Search" without providing anything more than that.
And yes I can completely understand the frustration of explaining the same issue over and over. But I don't have to answer every...
I'm planning to use this setup for a build. But it's not for performance. Only the sound.
The turbo isn't the limitation to power on the 6.2. They need more bottom end work.

I will upload your image this time. Please review the link I sent you on how to configure tapatalk. Contacting tapatalk like you did only contacts that company. Not the website. It's the configuration of your device that's causing the trouble.
Things I look for in CUCVs:
1. Is the support bracket on the starter?
2. Does the glow plug system work properly? Is it using the resistor bank or just 12v?
3. Is the wiring still stock? (24v/12v system still intact?)
4. Does it still have the correct running gear?
5. Is the IP leaking? Hard...
