BTW I know I will catch a lashing here for converting to 12v but it really is better off. The hybrid system to me seems more like a novelty of keeping it original or if you have other Mil vehichles to jump off off but the advantages of conversion for me outweigh it.
Pros:
I now have both batteries as a buffer for the winch or Plow pump
I now have a serp belt instead of the troublesome V belts
The CS130 Alt is easy to find anywhere.
The 12v starter is easy to find.
The truck now has a cooling system that has been upgraded by 300%
Cons:
Slower cranking in cold.
Lost novelty of keeping it orignal

BTW I want to clarify in case I didn't earlier, The modifications to the exhaust such as downpipe and crossover may not work for every truck. Mine has a 4 inch lift which made it easier.

I'm about ready to toss my turbo setup on, but i may lift it first to make the whole thing easier. Could you snap some pics of how you ran your exhaust under the truck? I'd appreciate it ![[thumbzup]](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_smile_thumzup.gif "Thumbs Up [thumbzup]")

Yes will take more pics. I used the 6.5 inj pump. It has slightly larger plungers plus it was rebuilt.
No exhaust shop around here does anything for 100$ . The last crossover I had made cost me 230$.

Well, this is why I should have just dropped a Cummins in it.
The lower end gave out.
I might cut it up for parts. I am not happy right now.

These motors are junk and should be babied. This is what happens when you try to hot rod them. The crank will probably be next.
What a waste of time and money. I should have left it alone.

No offense to you Sir but after reading all this, I think I'm going to resist doing a turbo on mine, learning from your misfortune. That's a whole lot of work right there.

Well....i thunk this motor had issues before and this made it more evident.
#8 cyl had staining and the crosshatch was gone when I pulled the head so now add
10psi boost....
I am going to look at a 94 6.5td engine tonight. I aill buy it if it looks good and
Swap it this weekend. Then I'll pull the 6.2 apart and mic the cyl. Something I should have done when it was apart. This is why rushing a job is never a good idea.
