    Bizzare nonstart

    AK diesel driver. I read your information. I neglected to mention this earlier because I thought it was not note worthy, but even though I'm not getting any codes (yet), I have had the security light, on the dash, illuminate several times before this no start problem started. It would come on...

    Bizzare nonstart

    Will L. Let's say IP could have some gunk build up. I have heard of using ATF to clean all that out of IP, Injectors, etc.. Do you know the procedure on how to do that? Also, I have the pre filter kit from Leroy Diesel along with the use of a Carter lift pump. Any reason why I don't just...

    Bizzare nonstart

    No bubbles, no smoke, tapped at inlet, and not sure of cranking rpm. I did not take notice of that at the time. Will do when vehicle fails again.

    Bizzare nonstart

    As I stated above. I already replaced the old PMD with the extra I carried which was a brand new PMD. Which means a new PMD was installed

    Bizzare nonstart

    Let me describe the scene... Used the vehicle for approximately 60 miles on a warm day with several shut down stops. After the last stop (approx. 10 mins.). Vehicle would not start (turns over, but won't start). After about 10-15 mins. and 5-6 start attempts, vehicle started, and I drove 30...

    PMD life span

    I have a 1999 Chevy 6.5, with the PMD mounted in the bumper with the extention cable. How long can one expect the PMD to work properly, until replacement is necessary due to "old age"?

    Replacing crankshaft bolt

    Not as of yet. The key is finding somebody who actually knows what you are looking for. I say it is for a 6.5 turbo diesel, and the dealership folk look at me like it is a make believe truck. Even though there are a million of them still in exhistance. I've never ever gotten any real help...

    Replacing crankshaft bolt

    19yrs at 200ft/lbs. seems like the truck could use a new bolt. Can't seem to find any new ones. Probably go back with the old.

    Replacing rear main oil seal

    Need to replace my rear main oil seal. It will be my first time for such a job on this vehicle ('99 6.5 turbo diesel Chevy 3500). Can anybody point me to a start to finish procedure? Video would be great. I looked around here, but didn't see anything.

    Engine stoppage

    The tittle of the YouTube video is "How to replace and install ignition starter switch 1995-96 GMC Sierra buy auto parts at 1AAuto.com." The tittle is bizzare, but they show how to remove the little white plug.

    Engine stoppage

    Update: installed the new ignition switch harness. While doing so, I noticed a lot of play with the black plug receptacle. This black plug is the vehicle anti-theft system (VATS). I put a plastic zip tie in the connection to stop the play and cut to fit. Vehicle starts and runs fine. I...

    There is a little white plug on top of the tumbler casing. I do not see how to remove it. This is on a '99 6.5. I have posted my request three different places on this site (electrical, steering, and 6.5), and no one seems to know how to remove this plug. I am trying not to destroy something...

    Ignition switch harness plug removal

    I don't see one. It appears to be a simple thing, but the plug is under those two metal prongs. You can't left it up straight. And it seems you can't push it to the side because the lower portion of the plug fits down in to the casing. Surely somebody has remove this plug before. I'm trying...
