    Couple questions on my first diesel.

    I am looking at a 33 ft triple axle enclosed trailer, the total appx weight that I would be carrying in it would be around 6000lbs.

    I did think of that, and I did try to update it.... however when I signed up I barely figured out how to do it. This time I didn't figure it out.... got to frustrated! :-)

    Couple questions on my first diesel.

    Okay, so it was the PMD...... installed a remote mounted driver and the stalling issue has not come back. I have a few more questions now though.... 1. What is the oil pressure "supposed" to be while idleing? 2. Those of you that have oil temperature gauges how often (with not hauling...

    Couple questions on my first diesel.

    Okay, it has finnaly stopped raining AND me found time to work on the truck. I have the Pensacola remote PMD kit here in front of me. What is the resistor for? It has no mention of it in the instructions or the box inventory (but I have it).

    Couple questions on my first diesel.

    Well it rained like a monsoon here for the last few days and has no sign of letting up. So I never got a chance other than to confirm that it appears all the grounds are in-tact. I had a hard time seeing the grounds that attach to the frame rails however I got touchy feely with them and...

    Couple questions on my first diesel.

    Hello everyone.... I just bought a 94 GMC 2500 with a 6.5 TD (166K Kms), and I am going through the required maintenance when you first buy a vehicle. Such as all the filters/fluids, a new set of glow plugs (duraterms). This is my first diesel and I have yet to buy a service manual so I am...
