6500 Optimizer Turbo Intercooled Diesel Motor

1. 6500 Optimizer Turbo Intercooled Diesel Motor If you are looking for extra pulling power and performance for your truck, you should take a look at the 6500 Optimizer Turbo Intercooled Diesel Motor. This powerful engine is based on the 6.5L Chevy Diesel motor but kicked up a couple of notches. GM came out with the 6500 Optimizer in partnership with AM General, who continues to build the core motor. The base motor produces an impressive 205HP and 440 foot-pounds of torque. Early versions of the engine were known to have a few problems, but the newest updated motors have solved the issues and are highly reliable. What makes this motor magic is when it is optimized further with the addition of a high-quality turbocharger and intercooler system. This combination allows you to dial up the performance of the motor for more horsepower and pulling power and frequently at better mileage out of your fuel. As an example, Gryphon Engineering boasts a modified 6500 Optimizer Turbo Intercooled motor that produces 295HP and almost 520 foot-pounds of torque. A more fitting example might be the engine coming directly from General Engine Products, the AM General motor maker, for the Humvee line. Their most recent brochure for their version of the engine boasts a powerful 550-foot-pounds of torque paired with 250HP. The advantage to the GEP motor is its new construction. It is not a rebuilt 6500 Optimizer with all the good things added, it is a brand-new motor straight from the factory, bundled with a forged steel crankshaft, a new electronic motor controller, and an updated high output fuel pump. The 6500 Optimizer turbo intercooled has received both positive and negative reviews through the years, but the newest versions of the motor receive almost all glowing reviews. If you want to revive and improve your truck, the 6500 Optimizer with Turbo and Intercooler should be your top choice.
