What battery do you guys up north use in your 6500? I've replaced mine with a battery with the same CCA as the original battery but at 30 degrees it just doesn't have what it takes to start up.

This is gonna be long but please hear me out.....I have a 2006 6500FWD and when I need it to make a 10 hour day in 104 degree Texas heat, it won't and here's why: I work in a refinery and make diesel fuel. With the advent of our government mandating that we only make "ultra low sulphur diesel"...

The oil pressure gauge on my 6500 FWD moves to half scale when the key is turned on. After starting it pegs the needle at full scale. With the sending unit unplugged the needle goes full scale with the key on. Is this a sending unit problem?

Changed the fuel filters for the first time on my 6500 FWD and found a 90 degree grease zerk laying on top of the cannisters. It had been broken off at the base. It is painted gray as if it was on the chasis or engine. Are there any zerks above the filter cannisters around the injector pump? I...

Have noticed lately that the steering on my 6500 FWD doesn't feel quite right. At times, usually when the fluid is cold, it stops working just for a second then starts again. I'm sure it's in the hydraulic section as everything else is greased often. Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have...

While pushing brush and trees to make a new food plot, I managed to break the left parking light on my 6500 4wd. Any dealers on the forum have access to a new light?

It's time for the 50 hour service on my 65004WD. Dealer told me to use Dexron III for power steering. Does everyone agree with this? What should I use for transmission and front differential? Will the stuff that Wal Mart and Tractor supply sells work? Any advice from anyone that has performed...

Cleaning up my 6500fwd after bushogging and noticed that there is no crankshaft pulley and harmonic balancer on the front of the engine. Now, I'm from East Texas and am accustumed to seeing things that make me say HMMMMM......but now I'm really stumped. What drives the belt,alternator, and...

Just bought a new 6500 4WD with FEL and would like to locate a parts manual for it. Anyone know of a source for these?

Took delivery of a new 6500 4WD last week. It is an awesome machine. Had a few minor problems that the dealer is now taking care of such as: the fuel gauge doesn't work. I searched for the sending unit and couldn't locate it. Looks like they'll have to remove the dash assembly to get at...

Just ordered and signed the papers on a new 6500 4x4 with front end loader. This will be my first Mahindra and hope the machine is half as good as it looks. My first order of business will be loading the tires. Anyone have an easy idea for an attachment to do this? How much antifreeze should I...
