    6.5TD motorhome starting problem

    Thanks Again dbrannon79 for the Quadstar information. I looked it up and it looks like it's a big program that they do to the PCM. Where mine is located I would have to take the whole dashboard apart to get to it. My house batteries and the push button switch will give me enough power to heat...

    6.5TD motorhome starting problem

    dbrannon79 and everybody= I already put in that push button and have 12 plus volts. All wire ends fit tight and each wire checked out at 12 plus volts. My rig is a "1996 with the OBD2 system". I checked the Motes cite and it does not show anything past 1995- unfortunately .

    6.5TD motorhome starting problem

    Thanks dbrannon79 for the specs on the two pumps. Now that I know I have a DS4 injection pump and the original lift pump has lasted 29 years. I have no idea what lift pump is on my Chevy P30 chassis. The lift pump part number is facing the frame- so I can't see it till I remove it. Looking at...

    Now I'm really confused. But still appreciate all the help! Two pictures and two different places. Will L.'s picture showing an arrow for a different place. It would help if = Any one has a picture of their "T" fitting with gauge mounted in the proper place.

    6.5TD motorhome starting problem

    This is the picture of the clear hose that I put in a long time ago. Is this the place where you want me to put the "T" fitting with a gauge? Also I still have to do the 1/2 gallon test lift pump test and I will do both at the same time once I find the "T" fitting. Thanks again for your help!

    6.5TD motorhome starting problem

    Will L.: I plugged the engine heater in for 11 hours. Checked temp on both sides of engine at one glow plug. Passenger side at 95 degrees. Driver's side at 120 degrees. Turned key to on....glow plug stayed on for 5 seconds (probably due to heat in engine). Usually stays on for 10 seconds...
