All mechanics love godsmack lollll. Including me.
Man only 214hp from a 6.5L…nice though.
only 214hp!! Bummer! You make more out of totally stock diesels these days.
Duh?
My newest run was 228rwhp, which I dont’ think is bad since my truck is rated 180hp at the crank. If you knew about the 6.5L you’d know about some of its limitations and what it was actually designed for ;).
Yeah, not too bad for a 6.5 motor.
Been down that road with many “hot rodded” 6.5’s and Peninsular 6.2 and will never mess with another one again!!
It’s simply too much aggrivation and an unreliable platform!!
Beautiful truck! I’d rock that any day! No matter what horsepower it makes..
To those of you that keep mentioning the HP of this engine-
214 HP Yes. But thats 214 RHP, or rearwheel horsepower. Part of engine’s HP at the flywheel is getting absorbed into the transmission and driveline (friction). Manufacturers only measure HP at the flywheel.
You would have to uninstall the engine and use a different dynometer device to test HP at the flywheel.
Assuming that 70% of the engines power made it to the rear wheels, puts this baby around 305 HP at the flywheel.
Can someone feed that baby?
never the less they are good engines way more reliable than fords powerjoke plus why else would the military use the chevy 6.5L? it has to be good
@mahatma171
I think everyone understands the difference between RWHP and Flywheel HP…… Yes?
Everyone? Doubt it.
LOL
Cheap.
Try some water injection on it !
Water injection won’t do anything. Water/meth injection will do something but not much. These are my old numbers, the newer numbers are close to 230rwhp. I’m not a fan of water/meth at all. My intercooler cools the intake charge good enough and I don’t have the cash to keep filling the water/meth tanks on a system like snows or others. So no.
Cam, with water/meth, you will gain at least a very conservative 30 RWHP.
If’ you’re using lower concentration of Methanol, the cheap blue washer fluid
(90 cents a gallon) at Wal-Mart is a inexpensive way to go.
Water injection does great things for diesels !
The Snow Performance system is overpriced….
cheap and reliable and long lasting
I’ll agree with the first part.
Respectable.
what mods were done to it inthis video?
good old 6.5’s there is nothing better not the most powerful out there but deffinetally the best if only gm would figure out that they shoudl put an american made detroit back in there trucks instead a piece of jap crap
Some of the 95 trucks came equipped with a OBDII connector with a OBD1 Computer so make sure you know what you’re looking at when you buy a 95 Chevy Truck.
@JetForceF22 All 95 chevy silverado’s I’ve seen have all OBDI components. They didn’t put OBDII in until 96 (which would be late 95 manufacturing date).
Yes I know, but since 1995 was the transition year, (old body style, new interior, last year of the TBI) I’ve heard some stories of the 95′ Silverados that has a OBDII connector, with the OBDI computer. I have a 95 Silverado, when I read that I ran outside to my truck to make sure I didn’t have that, and to my relief I had the OBDI 🙂 Only prob with OBDI is you can’t flash tune it from the port like you can the OBDII
why does these diesels suck so much performance wise??
my little 5.0 gas is putting 250 Hp with 300 ftlbs
