I'm looking to purchase another 6.5 TD with low miles (kms) here in Alberta. What i would like is if anyone could give me an idea as to what i should be looking for in these trucks..eg. was one year better than others, more stock HP, easier to modify, etc.


Here is one i have a small amount of interest in, the engine sounded strong but the body is alot rougher than the picture indicates. Also was there a way to disconnect the odometer to fool the dealers for warranty work as i believe this trucks odometer has been tampered with.


Thanks, heres the link..

Oh ya, one more thing, i have the dealer talked down to $20,200Edited by: CanadianRigger

That truck had the latest and greatest of GM 6.5TD factory technology. The HO cooling and better IP. Negitive is that you can not read your DTC codes with a paper clip you need a code reader. Also to improve power you need a relfashed EMC which is more costly than the new E-Prom like our 1995 versions. Still a POS exhaust and down pipe. Personally if I was in need of a truck and it fit the bill I would consider it strongly. Also if you have the heavy 3/4 it has 195 hp vs 190 and no EGR or soot trap.


Also for a 1999 the KM or Miles is about average. For a bit more cash you might be able to get a 2001 or 2002 DuraBux (DuraMax)Edited by: 16gaSxS
