Re: 68 c10 6.5 turbo diesel
I finally picked up an engine. It is a 96 VIN F 6.5 TD from a 1 Ton Dump Truck. It turned over fine but wouldn't start on its own. Guy said it was parked due to fuel issues.
I got complete engine, wiring, computer, radiator and couple more goodies for $300. I have pictures on my build thread. I guess one of my first steps is finding wiring diagrams and information which you seem to have found or worked out considering you rewired the entire thing it seems. I still plan to pick up another spare 95 engine w/ all wiring and accessories but I would like to run the 96 setup. It has serpentine setup and dual alternators.

Re: 68 c10 6.5 turbo diesel
96 is different. That's obd2. I only do obd1.

Re: 68 c10 6.5 turbo diesel
I didn't even notice. How do I know for sure if it was obdII? I didn't take the plug, I didn't even consider taking it. I don't even remember seeing the OBDII plug. I took all under hood wiring, wiring for the computer that was in the glove box and the wiring for the pedal. I think 96 was kind of interim year for OBDII, right?
So looks like you must be right. All vehicles made after 1/1/96 had OBDII. I wonder does that make it more complicated or less?

Re: 68 c10 6.5 turbo diesel
If the ECM was behind the glove box then it is not a 96.

Re: 68 c10 6.5 turbo diesel
It definitely was there. I have been trying to look up the VIN. Owner stated 96, does it matter it was a 1 ton dump truck?
1GBKC34F3TJ109734 is the vin. I just did a vin lookup and it says 96.

Re: 68 c10 6.5 turbo diesel
Update. Truck ran great tell it got 150 miles on it and boom! I was showing off and speed shift while still boosting and stripped out third gear. Scared the crap out of the kid I had with me. It was my mistake as I had tore trans apart once before and didn't reshim it. I got new gears from Tremec that are a little stronger. I shimmed it tight tight this time. Truck now has about 1000 miles on it. Not easy miles ether! First tank got 18mpg second 20mpg I am still on third tank. Truck is pretty quick but will be building a full manual 4l80 for it. Will also be building a new tune for it with every thing we can through at it.

Re: 68 c10 6.5 turbo diesel
i'm running a full manual 4L80 in mine. gonna get this shifter:
http://www.tciauto.com/tc/fast-gatetm-shifterhtml looked at a lot of them and seems like the best. chasing fuel leaks and changing filter faster, relocate the FFM to fender. for a better connection, do the battery bolt mod. was really surprised you decided to go electronic. love the 2 piece crossover. would make it easier to mess with. truck looks great and runs even better.

The oddball injection pump was in 1994 and has DS4-5068 on the label. It's an easy fix in the PROM chip to swap that pump onto any year 6.5. Easy is a term relative to me since I can do the tuning. Don't let any years of the 6.5 electronics scare you away. I can help out, just let me know and we'll continue these sweet builds! |

He had limited knowledge of the 6.5 and the electronics portion. I figured best would be mechanical injection. The 6.5 is a different animal most tuning software will not mess with it. Tuners that know what they are doing are hard to find.

Re: 68 c10 6.5 turbo diesel
