    Sorry i just saw this. I just called antrim diesel and they sent me a holset turbo made for the e6350. If you have a bosch p pump you gotta slide the fuel plate forward to gove it more fuel. Im my case i ground it so it would go farther. It runs strong. I pull 96000 pound loads daily and as long as you keep the boost up the egts never go over 900 deg.

    What did they send you? My 1990 e6 350 needs a turbo. How much $?

    Took my Eco in for something, anyways was getting 25mpg beating around local and after the visit was getting 20.   Of coarse they said they didn’t do anything.  Then the egr issues started.   Traded it for a 6.4 hemi. 

    They recalled the egr coolers and replaced them free. 

  3. We had a prototype Gehl skid loader back in the day. Every so many hours, Gehl engineers would come get it and the local dealer would bring us out a loaner. The first time they came to get it I asked them about covering the exhaust and the gehl rep laughed at me.  Well, when they brought it back out to our farm it smoked like a steam engine. Ended up being the turbo. They always covered exhaust pipe after that.

    I’ve heard good things about those lil Chevy diesels.  I had a Ram EcoDiesel and was not impressed .   

    We had a grand Cherokee with the ecodiesel. It wasn't as smooth of a setup. It was decent mileage but Chrysler needs to give up on trying to make things hi tech. Their whole electronics interface is a nightmare and the answer for anything that gives an issue was a 7 hour update that they loved to charge for. They need to stick to crank windows and raw power. 

  5.  I have one and a good buddy has one too. VERY VERY good mileage. Mine has 30,000 miles on it and lifetime mileage is at an average of 24.6 mpg. Long trips you can expect 30+ mpg at 70+ mph. Mine does tons of local running around. Zero issues with the motor, just can't get my windshield washers to keep working. Drive one and you'll buy. They are so smooth and powerful. They really hit the nail on the head with these. Around my area they are quite popular because they are a low cost option. Same price as the 6.2

    I drove up to see this today, took a bunch of pics and have apparently deleted them by mistake, grrrrrrr.  At any rate, I'm very sure the mileage shown on the odo is original.  The clutch pedal rubber shows slight wear but is not new, so that would make it original to the truck.  The drive tires are Michelin M+S's, about half worn out, so my guess is that they too are original.  There is, however, no sign of any weather cracking.  The steer Michelins appear to be newer, again with no weather cracking.   I'd attribute this to constant inside storage.   I can't explain the paint wear on the shift lever; perhaps one of the assigned drivers had extra long fingernails or something, who knows.  Aside from that, the truck looks completely original.  It does not have an air ride cab, and the possible bubbling at the bottom of one of the doors isn't there.  The red paint is slightly faded on the front of the hood and on the headlight surrounds, that's all.  This thing is a rare, original condition beauty.  If someone on this forum buys it (you can bid online) I hereby volunteer to drive it to you anywhere in the country at no charge (I have over 4 million safe driving miles).  

    I may just take you up on that offer. Hopefully a/c works for you.
