I belive its the lock up engaging in reverse,forward its ok..

reverse only,maby should adjust the ip a little bit? give it a little more fuel?

the fluid is ok,it sounds like the engine dies but when i let go off the throttle the engine jumps and throw little black smoke... if i reverse and push the throttle a little more its ok..

my 1999 suburban 6.5td sometimes sounds like its dying if put in reverse and pushing the throttle slightly,if i pull it a little harder,its ok.. its worst when its worm,new converter in it..any ideas?

There is always a risk when you plow,over here there is almoust no plowtrucks without bent frames... if the plow touches something hard during plowing,the frame is getting much stress.. when i plow the highway,with a big truck ofcourse,i often go 35-40mph,but plowing the small roads i go wery...

It was the converter,i changed it,and nowthe truck runs great!:-)

the converter started making noise today......getting it replaced next week..

could it be the converter clutch? draging when it shouldnt? its worst when hot..

I see on theese forums that the 6.5 has a bad reputation. ive owned 3 6.5s all 99mod,and they have been good reliable engines,good cold start performance,and no oil consumption..they all have been rolling 300k kilometers... in my country(Norway) the climate is like alaska,and lots of steep...

No black smoke driving forward,ever,and runs great..im pretty shure the lock up engages in reverse..

Hi,ive got a problem vith my tranny a 4l80e 99mod. when cruising in overdrive and meet a hill so the tranny goes out of overdrive it vibrates mutch. ive also heard it in first gear once at idle,sounded like it engaged the lock up.. if i downshift to third manually,no sound..oil and filter...

well its got 300k on the clock now,no oil consumtion:smile5:

No its pure dino oil dyno cat 15 w40....since new....it just turned 300k kilometers:smile5: I never plug in but i allows it to idle a few minutes before i drive....

I was starting my 99 6.5td in -38c the other day.....jumpercabels and hairdryer blowing in the turbo hose and it fired up!:smile5: Not been plugged...and not started for some days... not bad,and best of all,my friends 7.3 powerstroke didnt start at all:smile5:

my opinion is,and i always tell the police when they stop me in driving regulations and weight controls that our european cabs isnt good enough for these regulations..we have to stop and rest 11 ours at night..and its only to seats and a small bed in theese trucks! no place to change clotes,and...
