45f is not real cold. But if it hit 45 for 2.5 hours, the engine will be 45-50 when you are starting it until 3 hours after sunrise-cold enough to put a little strain on starting.

The multiple cycles 4-5 will tell you 100% if it’s just a. Cold issue. I would suggest plugging in the block heater but can see your parking situation probably isn’t friendly to that.

When the engine is warmed up and you start it- any smoke then? Like- if you stopped somewhere for 1/2 hour lunch, when you start it to leave. Also next time in the morning you start it, do this: cycle the glows 4-5 times. Key on for glow plugs, dont start it but key off. Then immediately key...

It’s still shaking way too much. The timing marks lining up is correct IF the timing chain is brand new. But the timing chain stretches dramatically in these. That causes the camshaft, the valves and the injection to become retarded. Gm never followed it enough to come up with specified...

Yes the two green wires in your video. The start procedure GM forgot to add from Stanandyne who made the ip… Pedal to floor then release resets the external solenoid how it can sit at different positions on the stepping arm, and for the cruise on ones equipped. It also ensure throttle...

The two wires making the connection at the terminal is correct and stock. You need to start recording that video on the clear line before the engine starts in the morning. Fyi proper starting technique is push throttle pedal all the way to the floor once and then release before turning the key on.

I can’t think of something in that area for the yellow wire. Need a manual or schematic at this point. I feel like as soon as we see it, an “oh yeah” moment.

Your “oh-ohh” red wire is power to the fuel shut off solenoid. Key on send power to that solenoid and allows fuel to flow through the ip and keep it running. You unplug and engine should die. How to force run 6.2/6.5 is 12v to it & spin engine. If you cant shut off engine because it fails...

Nope. This always turns out WAY more expensive in the end. Rebuilding yours is the best answer. Sell the other one for some money to offset price a little.

Dag nab it whipper snapper! Sux that happened- but yes the right size pulley is critical for your engine because that alternator is where you get your tachometer. That tells transmission when to play nice and when to play mean. So lost a alt fan but saved a transmission in time. Letting...

All this other nonsense stuff like steering and brakes on the way of exhaust… just not right! That should help a good chunk, definitely need a flex in there for expansion under heat.

That is smoother? That thing is shaking a LOT. That is a rough idle. Does it idle smoother after being warmed up? Positive no air through ip? Yes get the timing adjusted. The timing adapters are getting more expensive. But read this post if you want to get the tools yourself. You need...

We get a winter here. It’s already cooling a bit. Next Sunday and Monday in-fact we will be 66-87. See how that’s cooling off? I can admit that this last week at work there was a day I was excited to to work inside on a computer for a couple hours instead of catching sunshine rays…. Haha

Personally, I use Peanut Butter. It makes it corrode faster, and gives a worse connection the whole time. But it sure tastes better. Or bacon grease. That’s next level stuff.

They should work without being tested/ balanced. How well they work is unknown because modern production of old designs has become a game of how cheap can we make this part. When they build them- they may or may not test them. But back in the day, the German Bosch ones could be opened up...

Yeah, she doesn’t like being cold. Once your oil pressure is up, put it in gear and go. Idling a diesel isn’t good for it anyways. But otherwise, you’re can just start paying music like “smokey mountain range” …

Welcome. Post pics (a lot of them is fine) of what you have- the duramax didn’t exist in 98.

Nate, if it helps here is a video of a guy showing part numbers for the dual alt. He also shows the belt routing sticker. Maybe screenshot and have printed as a sticker for yours?

OOHH! I see shiny compressor parts hiding behind an extra alternator and wazoo fuel filter w/ maybe a pressure regulator hiding in the way back there… I would think that custom made dual alternator bracket you made (?) might be resell able to the 6.5 world. Anxiously watching for more info...

Looks like Marty is not planning on loosing any more squirt gun fights!😆
