Still always a challenge! Sorry to hear about Tim at Accurate Diesel...I would be hesitant too!
I'm in the Austin area....and think there might be a trustworthy place to have the injectors repaired etc.. Thanks for your input!
I called Bosch and they told me why the major distributors of the injectors for the 6.5TD engine are out of stock. A representative at Bosch told me they are also out of stock and don't know when or if they will ever start producing them again.
After hearing that I went to my garage and...
Back to you guys! I decided not to mess with removing the turbo.
After getting everything prepped to start pulling the injectors...I bought the OTC 5060 socket. The passenger side is really tight to work on. After hours of messing with this side...I did get the 4 injectors loose. This is the...
OK guys! My injector socket came in and ready to move on. It's the OTC 5060 socket like the socket shown above that others have suggested.
I have not started the engine in 10 days. Do you think the fuel pressure has dissipated by now? Or should I open one of the fuel lines at one of the...
Attached is a picture of my one injector that has a space problem next to the turbo.
Anyone that's working on their injectors...can you take a measurement for me. Can you measure the injector still in the head to the top of the injector with the hard fuel line disconnected? This will help me...
Thanks everybody! I've looked at most of the things you've mentioned.

This company has made their own injector socket for 6.2 & 6.5 diesel. See the edges of the injector are not shaped like a nut. They are more rounded corners. The only thing wrong is that they made...
Back to you guys! I did a search and found info on 6.5TD injector removal socket. It is an injector removal socket from NAPA that I need.
Part # BK700-2470 which is no longer available.
I need a injector socket that I can only use with a 7/8" wrench.
Do any of you happen to have that socket...
Thanks for the quick comeback? Still reading to understand the procedure involved. I've read about a company having a socket to avoid taking off the turbo. Any help is appreciated!
Hi Fellows- I'm back with my new project.
I decided to change the injectors in my motorhome (picture attached) Bought new. 1996 24' Safari Trek Motorhome.

dbrannon70.....Thanks for writing back! This will be a new project and you and Will L. and the others have given me lots of good info and advice.
Injectors is my new subject- so I think it's best for me to start a new topic. I know there are loads of other injector topics but I'm confident...

Have any of you used this company before? They rebuild injectors at their facility in the USA. And sell new injectors and parts pertaining to the 6.5 TD...
Found this Truck Stop that you wrote and it's been quite a while.. The listed web page item will not bring up anything. Maybe because of age.
But can you send me another link about installing your new injectors.
I think this is what I'll be planning to do! Thanks!
Back to you Fellows! I want to thank everyone taking time to help me with my popping problem.
I also looked into changing the injectors. With all of the stuff that's in the way trying to get to them....and different angles to remove them.....and also removing the turbo...I decided to stop...
Thanks dbrannon79, Will L., MrMarty51 and the rest of you fellows: Thanks dbrannon79 for getting those videos on the post and Will L. and Marty51 for some great information. Still digesting all that has been written. Have to change projects but will get back to you in a few days!
A few of you guys wanted to know what kind of mileage I get on our motorhome.... we average 10 mpg.
Great Thanks to Will L helping me with those videos that he's going to try and get the type of file changed so you others can get a listen.
He posted a quick thought above what it could be.
Now...
Hi Fellows ! Started up (cold) this morning.... got an exhaust spray on the floor. Went 4 miles into town...put some fresh diesel in ... started up great and went on a longer run. Went 86 miles total and it's back in the garage. Ran great as it's always done!
I bought the motorhome brand new...
Thanks for your help today...glad you could see and hear the two videos and explained what you thought it might be.....maybe I'll be able to put this project to rest?! Going to take a longer ride in the morning and let you know how it goes! Appreciate all the help I've been getting from everyone.
I have a video with sound...but it won't attached to this post. wrong extension. It's a mp4 taken on my cell phone. Do not want YouTube account.
Any other ideas?
Back again Fellows: I changed out the glow plug relay .... I now get the correct battery readings in and out which are the same. They read 12.80 Volts in and out. Boy! Does it start fast! Also bought a 4 amp battery charger/maintainer for the (two) 12 volt starting batteries. They are...
