Hey y'all I'm new on here and I heard this was the place for any and all 6.5 issues so figured I would ask and see if anyone could give me a hand in the right direction with an issue in currently dealing with. I have a 98' 2500 ext cab long bed 4wd it has 195k miles, it use to be my grandfathers up until he gave it too me about 3 months ago. The truck sat for close to 2-3yrs due to him finding a good deal on another newer truck. So he gave it to me but it wasn't running at the time, it would fire over and run a few seconds then just die. So I got it home and took it to a buddies diesel shop that he owns for him to get it going for me. Now before the truck was parked It got a new injection pump from Pensacola diesel installed, new Pmd with extension harness not sure from where that's on a heatsink that's mounted behind front bumper. So I take it to the shop and they confirmed it had diesel sludge in the tank and lines, so they cleaned out the tank and blew out the lines and ran a bottle of biokleen thru it...they put on a new lift pump changed fuel filter and they finally got it back up and running...then the fuel shut off solenoid was leaking the 1st day I got it home so I took it back to shop and got a new one installed and thought I was good to go and then alternator took a crap so got a new alternator installed... So after all that I picked the truck up and drove it a couple days here and there, it ran great and fired right up with no issues but it started to just stall out of nowhere.. like it stops getting fuel for some reason. I know it's getting fuel though by checking the t-valve with the key on so I know lift pump is working. Now once it stalls and I go to try and start it back up it will just crank and crank and crank and not fire at all. If I push the pedal to the floor once or twice it finally fires but it sometimes will idle rough and stumbles back to a stall or it will just idle rough until it clears up and goes right back to running like nothing ever happened. It's the weirdest thing and has me stumped !! Have any of y'all ever had this issue and if so can you help a guy out? I'm at my witt's end with this thing trying to figure it out. Not sure if it's a crank sensor issue, bad tps, air in fuel, bad fuel line , ignition switch,oil switch or injection pump going out since they all can cause the same issue... I just need to be led into the right direction to figure it out finally. I just want to get it fixed and sell it tbh...Thanks for any and all help. Like I said it only fires up after it stalls if I stab the throttle to the floor once or twice. If I don't do that all it does is crank and crank with no fire.
