    Throttle Position sensor questions

    No trans shifts great. Fluid looks and smells great ( as great as tranny fluid can smell) No service engine light. Trans had a light overhaul on it about two years ago. By light I mean it wasn't a full rebuild. I will get the codes pulled as soon as I can.

    Throttle Position sensor questions

    Hey got a 1993 chev with a 6.5 and a 4l80e trans. The trans will go into overdrive and lock up, then kicks out. I saw on a forum it could be the throttle position sensor and it may need adjusted so I did so. One way made it shift hard and would go into OD at all, the other would allow it to go...

    6.5 oil pressure issue.... still!

    If it is a low pressure, could it be a high volume low pressure pump? If so is that really that bad? I will try to get the casting numbers. When I rebuilt the motor the timing set said it was at least a 94 engine. Where is the Julian Date Code? thanks for all the help, I am use to dodge gas...

    6.5 oil pressure issue.... still!

    I just took another look. So there is a silver plug with a very small hole in it that is jammed way up there. The valve on the other hand, I can push it up and down with a piece of wire. Seems to push very free and easy.

    6.5 oil pressure issue.... still!

    Turbo is good, no use of excess oil. But I took the filter adaptor off and saw the bypass valve. It is about 1/2 inch up in the hole and I can't seem to get it to budge. Was wondering how to get it out. A machine shop I use has a new one for me but I want to get the old one out to take with me...

    6.5 oil pressure issue.... still!

    Don't remember what the specs were exactly but I do know they were well within the specs listed in the GM service manual. ok this may sound like a total novice, but then again, in a lot of ways I am a novice in diesel repair. What is the main web? I have never heard that term before.

    6.5 oil pressure issue.... still!

    Hey hoping for some help. I have 1993 one ton 4X4 with a 6.5 that started to lose oil pressure. I read that it could be the camshaft and bearings. Sure enough I pulled the camshaft and it was shot. Long story short, I replace cam and bearings, new crank, and new rod, main bearings, new heads...
