Hi! I'm from Russia and my English is bad. Sorry. (http://i.smiles2k.net/big_smiles/0094.gif) (http://smiles2k.net/big_smiles)
I have Suburban-2500 1988 4x4. And I want to install a Hummers diesel 6,5 turbo instead of 6,2. Tell me pls, what have I do to this diesel install? Or this does not make sense?
-
what does your truck have in it now?
-
Now my truk have diesel 6,2
-
Welcome from Vt I think it will bolt right in . not sure what is different. i will ask my diesel man Andy and get back to you.
-
I would think it would be a easy swap. Give some time for the diesel experts on here to see your post and they will chime in. Welcome from California, US.

Welcome to the site. What is the engine sitting in the pic? It looks like a heavy duty shipping crate.
-
No, this diesel Hammer on that's for sure. There is a sticker on it
-
I meant "what is the engine attached to?" The green box...
-
do it i would swap some of the 6.2 parts over to your 6.5 the intake and maybe pulleys a/c pump p/s pump etc. also looks like the turbo is in back that won't fit were its located
the only thing i can think that might be a problem is the injection pump shut down solenoid it may be 24 volts you should be able to use the one off your 6.2 note just the solenoid
also read the article on 6500

Its a military secret and you can't have it :-X
it looks like a engine stand is a sipping box do i win prize ;D
dose the box come with the engine
-
That's the shipping crate that the US Military ships these motors in.
-
If your suburban has an A/C (air conditioning) box the turbo will probably interfere with it. Might have to cut a notch or something there. Everything else pretty much bolts right up.

I believe it is a military hummer 6.5 that he wants to put into his truck.
-
I worry about a control system of the engine and the fuel pump.Is there this diesel engine an electronic control system?
-
I believe the engine in the picture you posted is mechanically injected. Also appears to have the turbo tucked into the back of the engine valley.
The location of the turbo makes it nice and easy if you are wanting to put this into a vehicle with air conditioning, as the passenger side mounted turbo from a 6.5 diesel will interfere with the a/c box.
This thing should be nearly a drop in engine. The fuel filter for a 6.2 is likely mounted on the firewall, and it would be a rectangular box. Not sure about this Hummer 6.5 but most 6.5's has a cylindrical filter mounted at the back of the engine valley on the intake manifold. This one might be in a different location due to the turbo location.
Not sure on the vacuum pump either, as the 6.2 would have it located at the rear of the engine right where a distributor would be on a gas engine. Again, could be non-existent on this Hummer 6.5 due to the turbo location.
If I'm not mistaken, the turbo wastegate has a vacuum hookup to it, but I can't recall for sure as the last one I had in my posession just had the wastegate welded shut.
Hope that helps a little.

I have heard that the back mount turbo which it seems like you have requires a bunch of cutting of the firewall. I cannot say for sure because I have never had one or tried to to that but I have asked the question on a GM diesel forum and everyone there said that you would have to cut and fabricate the firewall to clear the back mount turbo. Just a heads up I would use that style instead of the side mount because I would prefer to have A/C but thats just me. I would look further into it before I would start tearing it up.

Thanks! I have understood, probably, I'll not begin to do it. Very difficultly
