Part Two studs, heads, valvetrain, and getting it all stabbed back into the truck just in time for another adventure. We used the same HE351CW turbo that was on the truck before, a DB28336284 (GEP14098680) Stanadyne injection pump paired with Bosch's high flow "marine" injectors, and a load of Vibrant Performance fittings and braided lines to support all that new fuel delivery.

Don't miss part one where we balance and prep the GEP12562486 6.5L:
   • Get Duramax Torque from a 6.5 Diesel...  

The whole Suburban Build Series:
   • The 85 Diesel Suburban  

00:00 Flexing with Jeep folk
00:10 Hey Y'all
00:53 Rerouted fuel lines, Frame Reinforcements, and a FASS Lift Pump
01:55 Head stud install on 6.5 Diesel
04:26 6.5 Diesel Cylinder head install
07:10 6.5 Diesel Valvetrain assembly and Harland Sharp 1.6:1 Rockers
09:53 Priming the oil pump on 6.5 Diesel
10:37 Rocker Covers, Marine Injectors, and Glow Plugs
12:20 Injector lines on 6.5 Diesel
13:19 6.5 Diesel install in squarebody suburban!
15:16 Priming fuel and oil systems
17:11 Firing a new 6.5 Diesel for the first time
19:21 Track down leaks and reassemble
21:08 Let's go for a drive

Now, is this 6.5 better than a Duramax? Maybe not on a pure torque numbers basis, but it fits easily into the engine cage on the suburban, and it got us back out on the trail in a very short period of time. Also, I reserve the right to swap in a Duramax, later.

We hope you enjoyed the engine build as much as we did doing the work.
