Just dont try to tow more than a 14ft flat bottom boat with it. South texas was once littered with 6.5 td trucks with broken cranks from trying to tow loaded cattle trailers. That is Duramax territory now!

Yea the older 6.5 had block and crank issues that's why I got a late model block. They are long lasting when taken care of. This motor had 0 maintenance done you can see the sludge on the heads.
