    GM 6.5 TD engine poof problelm

    ak diesel driver- Yes, I see the markings. They are 11G. All 4 checked at 1400 plus degrees. Picking up the 8 - 60G's at O'Reileys this afternoon. Once I get these 4 in and button up everything I will go to the other side.

    2-8-24 10:30am Got all four out on driver's side- no problem. No signs of any swelling. Calling O'Reilly's to see if they have them in stock. If so- they'll be installed today! So far so good??

    jrsavoie, dbrannon79, and Will L.: I did remove each glow plug wire to check continuity. With those small wires that go on the glow plugs and the controller putting out 12 volts...sure seems I should see more than 10 plus volts on my meter. Will L.-How did you find the temperature sender...

    GM 6.5 TD engine poof problelm

    This information a few of you wanted to know...especially dbrannon79. Checked continuity on all 8 glow plugs. They all checked good. Now remember- my first check for voltage at passenger side showed 6Volts about 10 days ago. I did not leave the key on long enough at that time to get a...

    This info is for everyone in hopes it helps me. This is a new update.....especially about the glow plugs. About the glow plugs: I looked up on our Trek motorhome site that I belong to...and there is a man that has the exact motorhome that we have. And he found the ones that came with his Trek...

    Thanks for your quick reply! To answer your questions: I have 12.65 volts on the glow plug relay. The other side of the relay read 00.6. Then after the 8 seconds it jumped to 12.24 volts and on and off to 12.20 volts. Thanks!

    GM 6.5 TD engine poof problelm

    The strangest thing about my problem and main reason I joined this site was about the 6.5 TD and I can't imagine that nobody (so far) has had a backfire when starting their 6.5TD engine. Being you are a "Well-Known Member" of this sight...Your last remark was crude and un-called for in...

    GM 6.5 TD engine poof problelm

    Hi Fellows! I appreciate all the suggestions you have made. I would like to stop calling it "poof" and call it backfire - like a gas engine. After I turn the key to the on position and wait for the glow plug light to go out... .. I immediately start the engine. It only takes 5 seconds to...

    Thanks for your reply! No trouble --- Starts right up! Then you hear one poof out exhaust pipe....engine runs smooth for the next 8 seconds...then one poof comes out on the passenger side seems like where your leg would be sitting in passenger seat. Runs great! The only time the fuel system...

    GM 6.5 TD engine poof problelm

    Thanks for the come back! My Chevy Motorhome service guide states the odometer should be approximately 0.5 ohm. Glow plugs are original with only 78,000 miles on them. Also, I checked for codes and there were no codes showing. Yes, I would get the AC Delco 60G glow plugs if needed. I'm a...
