Glad to have been able to assist Todd,
For "Rest of the Story" I've been working 10-16 hrs a day last couple of months 94 hours last week I'm a little whupped up after last week.
Todd managed to get up with me at break times and we did some over the phone diagnostics, He's getting very good at...
Todd the other day we were talking I thought we were talking about a C1500 truck with 8 lug, C1500 Burb is whole different story I own one of those myself with 8 wheel lug, 3:42 ratio so no surprises there.
Here is some FYI when it comes to OBD-II timing I wrote a while back over on old site & posted in the TRL here I think
Timing is best set with a GM tech 2, that said it can be done on OBD-IIs with a Snap On MT2500. You also should try to get a set of IP wrenches Snap On or OTC make a set just...
Did some special work over & above what a normal rebuild would entail, get up with me in PM & we can compare notes and I'll call you or you me Nick my # is same if you still have it.
Nick,
Negative on Diesel Depot they have lost their focus on quality rebuilds, they can when they want to, do a decent job, but after some of the horror stories I've heard of lately you do not want to use them.
If you are interested I can put you in touch with my builder in MS that can do...
Hard to find...."What-chu talking Bout Willis" pictures, words & everything one need to needs to know about 6.5 fuel delivery in the TRL http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/showthread.php?6872-Lift-Pumps-amp-OPS-operation-and-troubleshooting my how easily they forget about it :)...
Hi Gruff you said NOVA as in Norfolk Va possibly, 2 posts welcome to the site.
TDCO issue eh, just moving the IP will not change the TDCO it has to be commanded to relearn either with a ko/ko command via the APP or if you have a Tech2 or Tech2 clone the learn can be commanded so long as you are...
6.2 bottom end with 6.5 upper end is a very capable combination, still plenty of 6.2 blocks around, unless you can come up with a "killer deal" on a GEP block I'd look very close at the 6.2/6.5 combination.
Here is the reason to buy a TM #1 it works #2 easily installed, #3 designed to reliably be installed without having to add gauges.
You could "home brew" your own but then you would have to come up with a spring that isn't too strong or too weak, determine the appropriate length rod and make a...
Made a new post for you let me know if you would like it titled differently.

Howdy Hydro V, got a name :) Welcome to the site
Could be several things, my 1st question is with the vac pump removed how are you keeping wastegate closed, you are new here so give us a little time to asses your knowledge of the what I prefer to call the VENERABLE 6.5 and not the infamous...
If you have a right angle drill and a short bit you could maybe drill it out, inner fender removal is easy and IMO "only way" to do maintenance on lower right side of the engine, while it is off check/test all glows that side, replace your injector jumper lines, gnds that side, check starter ear...
I had a Cummins pump gifted to me by Diesel Pro (Mike) back in the day, I used it for a xfer pump from my bulk tank to my main tank, it died, and when I opened it up saw the vane blocking the outletport. Confirmed with Mike that is what was killing many of the on engine pumps on the Cummins as...
A lot of discussion at the 6.5 expert site (NOTT!!!!!) where Steaksauce lives and peddles his wares to the uninformed 6.5er about "risks" of a under bumper mounted IC; I ran mine there for years without any issues at all.
I looked at "cooling stack mounted ICs" myself but since the 6.5 is...
There is a reason for fuel shutdown solenoid on top of the IP, in event of PMD fail that shuts off fuel to IP, another possibility is broken fuel delivery solenoid armature shaft on end of the IP fuel distribution head, and what I suspect if PMD swap did not correct the issue a sticking or...
I've not been on the site in quite a while, I read some links to things you should check, but really no updates on how you made out on the various things tried other than change a fuel filter and keep it warm in the garage. Did you check the gnds, those could have a "cold junction" where when...
They are wrong and you are right I've got 3:42s in my burb and my results with the "bad gears" for ATT mirror yours, the unbiased tester there.......not so much
I've been MIA from the forum for a while been dealing with some extensive issues at home with wife's health; a little insight on the lack of IC recommendation. I've never said that an IC was not a worthwhile venture I had one for years (I still have it on the shelf) it was required IMO when...
