I want to remove the fuel injectors from this motor and do a compression test. How do i get the injectors off. I have a compression testing gauge kit. There seems to be a lot of blowby coming out of diaphram mounted on the valve cover next to turbo when cranking. It wont start. Engine is getting...

Let me rephrase my post. I don't think i want to pay $269. dollars for a NAPA diesel compression tester i will only use once over the next ten years. Is there anyone willing to sell me a complete compression tester guaranteed to work on my chevy 6.5 L TD ?

Where can i rent or buy a compression tester with the proper adapter to test compression on the 6.5 L TD ?

Every ground i can find under the hood has no resistence. I even pulled the curbside fender again and checked all grounds in the starter area. I checked the ground on the remoted pmd. All good. A question i have is where is the prom ? Is it under the dash behind the fuse box ? There are 4 wires...

So i replaced the ops. I jumped the lift pump. It sounds like it's working. Some fuel seeped thru the top of the fuel management filter. I cracked open an injector, but no fuel is leaking out of it. Now a new problem has developed. After cranking the motor for only 3 - 4 seconds at a time, the...

Thanks for the tip, handcannon. I'm going to tackle that ops replacement today. I'll use your method to test the pump.

Thanks for all the help. I ordered the Leroy hose. I found a socket specifically made to remove/install the ops. Napa part #3458

Hello, i am knew to this site,. I recently came into possession of a 94 silverado king cab long bed 2WD 6.5 TD, not running. I replaced the PMD with a relocation kit. Still no start. I was advised to replace the oil sending unit as the Lift pump does not seem to pump when cranking. But my...
