i need ideas, im debating swapping my 6.2 for a 6.5td, i have a racecar to tow on a flatbed trailer, and a gooseneck horse trailer to pull, i think the truck would do it, it already pulled the mustang, once for a short distance, but not happily, i was thinking about putting the manifolds and turbo from a 6.5td on it, to maybe give it a boost, would this work, the banks sidewinder is too much boost, and may do fatal damage, want to keep things reliable, haven't had any problems lately, plan on keeping it that way

yes just put the 6.5 stuff on the 6.2, many recent threads on what you need.

why would the banks be too much boost?

im not sure how many hundred thousand miles are on the truck, and the banks costs more dough, granted, i have the j-code, i just want reliability, i should need, manifolds, turbo, gaskets, and the pipework from the turbo to the manifold???
