I am about to get a 1994 6.5 1500 4x4 z71 6.5 i cant afford to keep trashing my duramax up doing some of the stuff i do. what are some of the problems yall are experinceing with these goats. Also can this old thing hadle a 38,000 pound load of hay. I no its heavy im sure it cant but what will happen if i try.

I have a couple 6.5 tow trucks. The truck your looking at is a 1500?! The motor should be ok but im not sure about the trans and axles. Id say my 6.5 could pull 20,000 with a little struggle but its possible. I towed 9,000 with out a struggle at all.

The 6.5's dont have any mojor problems other than the known heads that crack. Also the injector driver goes bad as well.

Well, about the weight tolerances your best bet is your judgment and as far as the problem concerns you should be ok. The problems that I have seen stem for the cooling system and the lack of power. Heath diesel makes a lot of upgrades with these old gals. Good Luck on your purchase.

I do no that the truck has a 4l80 tranny. When i purchase the truck i have another built allsion laying around i am going to see what it takes to put it in. Acutally i will probley by a stock ally because i no i will never be able to make enough power and torque out of this old girl to have a problem with slipping clucths and all

Mounting a Allison 1000 Trans to a 6.5 would be the hard part. All the electronic B.S.

rear axle should be a gm 14 bolt semi floater, with more than likely 3.73 gears. good and steady on the throttle and it'll move if eventually, your front brakes will need to be replaced about every two months and after hauling for a season pull the diff cover and check the c clips on the axles, thats the only down fall to that axle, ps tell george i need some extra haulin work

[duramaxin14]

lol John george is in a bine himself his dodge turbo blew up so much for that 66. The injection pump went out on the 2002 and the transfer case on the 12 va is fryied. We are talking about turing old green into a racer. And my duramax into either a puller or racer or maybe both
