Are any of those your's?
That second pic, I'm guessing it's a 6.5 turbo on a 6.2?
Thanks!

Tim,
Those are all AWESOME rigs that you had (and have)!!!
How did you like the Banks set-up?

Second pic is my old 84 cucv turbo convert. Junkyard parts, and a little turn on the fuel screw. The truck went from not having enough power to maintain speed uphill, to picking up speed uphill. Definately not overpowered, but much better. I was carefull not to exceed 10 psi of boost though.

Nice!

How did you route the exhaust? Outside the frame rail?
Got any more pics?

I ran the exhaust outside of the frame rail, under the cab, and up through the bed. I will check to see what I have for pictures.

Dr Lee on The Diesel Page built a really nice N/A 6.5 (589 block) for his '82 short bed that had about stock 6.5TD HP. He painted it '82 6.2 red to keep the look. The truck was a red original 6.2 C/10.

**special-K** · 02-09-2012, 09:20 AM

Here's my '91 Suburban with 6.2/4L80E. I retired it after it got hit in the front,had a mashed rear 1/4 panel,and I just didn't have the money to fix it:

**special-K** · 02-09-2012, 09:29 AM

My latest and current 6.2 is this '85 Jimmy with 700r4. All stock except I took the lift/tires/axles from the Suburban and put them under it. So,now it's got 4.10s and a locker.

**special-K** · 02-09-2012, 01:07 PM

Yes,I don't think it was worth the expense,though. The N/As run just fine for me and get better mileage.

thirdstreettito · 02-09-2012, 07:48 PM

1st Old 84 K10 SWB with 81K original miles

2nd Current 83 K10 Suburban with 36K on the new engine/trans/t-case and 75k on the rear end. On 33x9.5R15's.

Yeah, I want a Banks kit, but it will have to be cheap!!

Dude that's an awesome idea storing a funnel there

Rogue_Alphonse · 02-11-2012, 10:11 AM

It's there for my failing transmission, and even after going over a mountain or hitting the highway at 90 it NEVER moves!

madcow75 · 02-12-2012, 01:46 PM

There must be some more diesel squares here.

joe231 · 02-10-2012, 11:53 PM

Nice!!!!

Great looking diesels in this thread. Here is my 82. The date on the pic is not right. I took this pic about 2 years ago right after I bought the truck.
