I advanced the timing moving the pump about .030 to the driver's side. It appears to have cleared up the hazing after the cold advance kicks off. Timing marks are now offset slightly as they were basically lined up before.
ECT sensor may be somewhat out of spec, as I think that the advance...
I fired the truck up cold again this morning. When the advance kicked down, I unplugged the ECT connector and jumped the terminals to cycle the advance back on. Smoke and idle smooth right out. Unplug, and back to haze and a little miss until warmed up all the way. I assume of I advance the...
Ok Updates so far. Went ahead and checked fuel filter, and swapped in a fresh one to be safe. Lift pump seems to be working fine, bled everything though t-handle and then some to see if engine would sputter with it open. Good there. Hooked up fuel pressure gauge and its good. High idle/ cold...
I have been having a ton of white smoke issues after startup on my 92 6.5. I just got the truck so after a little investigating decided it was time for new injectors (looked to be original at 181k) and the glows were the original 9g's. The truck would start up easy, but white smoke (eye burning...
I had a 93 k2500 reg cab 4l80 with 4.10 gears. Truck was mechanically identical to the 92 I have now. It was one of the best plow trucks I have ever had, and I have owned many. I sold it to a friend of mine 9 years ago and he still plows snow with us with it to this day. Body is pretty rough...
I actually have the Firestone airbags in the box at the shop to install. I have been too busy to do it myself, and believe it or not I cannot find a shop that will put them on. All the shops I have inquired with say its too long of a job (4-6 hrs) on a truck with a GN hitch installed and are...
Truck is Black and Silver. Its a 92 K2500, 4l80e, 4.10, 254k on the clock. (need to set up my signature yet) Has a upgraded cooling fan mod, and 4" exhaust, otherwise stock.
For Your Viewing Pleasure
Towed my tractor back with the 92 from the shop today. Usually this task is handled by the 3500 Dodge. Truck towed great, no temps over 210. This combo weights about 10K.
I have owned several 6.5s and driven many. I owned a 2000 new. That truck had the usual late fan clutch engagement issues from the word go, but never ran much hotter than 215 or so max, then fan kicks in and back to about 195ish. It was a C3500HD dump truck so lots of heavy loads there.
I...
Been thinking about putting a set of air bags on my truck, and after seeing all the discussion lately on here about them I am thinking about pulling the trigger sooner rather than later. Does anyone know of bags that are compatible with a B & W gooseneck hitch? The hitch has long plates that...
Thanks for the input. The truck has a almost new radiator installed by the PO and new water pump. So, two less things for me to do. I am going to change the stat just as preventative maintenance. About the only thing I am concerned about on this truck is keeping it cool, as that was an issue...
I am new here but not new to the 6.5. I owned a couple of them in the past and recently picked up a 92 k2500. I use my trucks for towing and am plannig on installing one of the fan upgrade kits using the Durmamax fax blade and heavy duty clutch to help keep temps in check.
