    Stuck with my 6.5

    I do not, I will definitely have to get one. I actually may know a guy with one, he used to work on old 6.2s and now he does duramaxes. Ill have to put it back to the mark, right now its about 2 dimes width advanced from the mark. and then I'll have to pull that cover off when i get time, it...

    I'm pretty sure my pump came from pensacola diesel if i remember correctly. are they known for selling bad pumps? he said when he installed the gears he did it with the #1 piston at tdc and he checked that.

    Stuck with my 6.5

    The injection pump was not bought from a reputable builder come to think of it. It was quite a few years ago so I don’t remember to much. I did not test the injectors.

    I did forget to mention that it smokes white at idle but it’s not water, it’s raw diesel, you can smell it. The smoke does turn black when it is given throttle and goes back to a little white haze once it builds boost. If I can’t get it I’ll probably throw a 12 valve in it eventually lol

I haven’t done a compression test because I’m a little scared of what I may find. It was converted to gear to gear drive...

    Stuck with my 6.5

    Hey guys, I have a 93 6.5, and the motor was built by my dad, he lowered the compression and put aftermarket heads in it and a whole bunch of other stuff. I bought it off him, put a new injector pump, new lift pump and new injectors. The truck barely fires up whether hot or cold and has a slight...
