I got a sweet aluminum water pump for $40 off rock auto. It's like 600lbs lighter then the stock one. I found the regular ones were the same price so I opted for light weight go fast.

Yah it ain't gonna get all done for 400.
Heck yah on the filter base man that would be awesome. Save me some now. I will definitely get you back.
Well its a 6.2 with a TURBO so lightweight and go fast pretty much describe it
I have a really cool filter housing with a filter, remind me to get it out when you come down.
Hurry up... I want to hear boost already.
Gaskets and water pump are on their way.
In their way to you?
Dang auto correct does not like the word on
Haha, it gets me all the time.
Well thermostat. AC delco 131-91, AC Delco water pump 252-717, and fel pro gasket set 260-1315 are on their way.
Thank you gift cards. My wife is gonna let me use her Christmas gift card for the head bolts. So those will get ordered tonight

That's a true love there.
That the right thermostat? I remember having a hell of a time as everyone tried to sell me the SBC one.
There is a thread on diesel place that lists a bunch of part numbers the thermostat is a 180° for a single thermostat 6.5. The water pump is the medium flow like 130 gph vs the 160 gph one.
All the checking I have done says they are right. I'm putting a new fan clutch on the list for later. Plus a duramax fan blade.
That should keep this thing cool.
Fuel Filter housing (and cartridge) are on their way to you. Sort of. They've left my parts pile and made it all the way to my kitchen table. 
Should get them sent out in the next couple of days. Once I track down a box and the appropriate fittings.

I found a place where guys recommended the hv water pump and other places they think it is horrible. Be careful what you gleen from the diesel page. I feel some of the stuff they push is questionable or is pushed because they get kick back. I honestly think most of the stud girddle stuff is a joke.
The pump is I guess considered the medium flow one. I have read that guys think the high flow one does nothing at all.
It seems generally agreed its a good pick for a 6.2 plus I need it for the serpentine system.
The other water pump was over 150. This one was around 60. Cheaper at rock auto but I don't have a gift card to rock auto.
There is a different thermostat too but generally it seems like everyone likes this one.
I still have one more trailer load from my parents. On the route back there is an 8% grade around 3 miles long. Problem the grade starts in town. Speed limit raises about a hundred yards up the hill.
I wanna pull that hill and keep my temp below 200

Head bolts are on their way. Almost only ordered one set. Forgot there are 17 bolts per side
Yeah, if you only ordered one set you'd have to cut one of the bolts in half to get equal clamping force on each head.
Just got all caught up since I am "building" a DD too
