With just spending the money on the new vacuum pump, then the money for the turbo master, new belt, gauges (on the wish list anyway), it's just not feasable to make the change right now. I'd rather spend the money on an exhaust and new injection pump first.

Went back out and started the truck, no vacuum to the waste gate. Pulled the connector out of the solenoid and tested to ensure I'm getting power to it and I was. I plugged it back in and the solenoid started chattering, went around to the turbo and the wastegate was actuated. Took it for a...

Lack of boost was the first thing I thought of. With the truck running, I pulled the vacuum line off and watched the rod go down, put my finger over the hose and could feel the vacuum. I played with it, putting on, taking it off, watching the rod go up and down, and then no vacuum at the hose...

A little background, the Suburban has approx. 265k miles, new injectors and pmd within the last 5000 miles. The injection pump was replaced by the previous owner at around 150-160k, lift pump was replaced 10k miles ago, fuel filter about 2 months ago. Over the last month, the truck would from...

An update on the Hummer. We took it to R&R Engine in Akron to have them test / put on a new TPS. They tested it and ended up tracing the wiring down to the transmission to find a connector loose. They cleaned it up, reconnected it, and all is back up to par now. Shifting like it should...

Hummer is 1995 H1 6.5 non turbo diesel. It is shifting hard between 1st and second (4L80E). Took it to a trans shop and they said it doesn't seem like a trans problem, said the throttle position sensor may need to be adjusted. Has anyone on here had any experience adjusting the sensor. I...

Well, it died this weekend, would start up then die after a few feet, took me 25 minutes to go 1 mile back home, at least I was close. I put in an old PMD that I bought used after I bought the Suburban, I had put it in once and it didn't run right with it. I thought I had threw it away, but...

I have been only running about $40-50 dollars worth of fuel at a time, letting it get low. I've been riding the motorcycle every chance I get, so the burban sits at home. I think I'll drop the tank this weekend, what could it hurt. Burning oil, I'm going to need some oil for the bike also...

Here is something I didn't expect to happen, I'm having issues with certain electrical items not working, one time it will be the wipers, next the radio, next the windows. All start to work again after a few minutes. I'm guessing I still have a ground problem. I've cleaned the 3 grounds on the...

Fireman, I think you and I talked before, I'm in Garrettsville OH, not far from you. My PMD is relocated already to the inner fender. I believe I may have a cable long enough to move it to behind the bumper. Time is not allowing that right now. The prices you show above, does that include...

It does restart everytime, sometimes with a little more effort needed. If I need to buy a new PMD, what do you guys recommend.

1997 Surbuban, 6.5L, auto, 4x4, 4:10s, 247k miles, new injectors, glow plugs, vaccuum pump, batteries, fuel filter, lift pump within the last year. Injection pump replaced at approx. 150k miles. I've read other posts on this problem, did the fixes that I found, and I'm still having...

Did some diggin on Summit Racing and Randy's Ring and Pinion, it looks like my options are 3:42 and 3:73. The 3:42 gears are damn expensive. I'm not sure if dropping 200rpm by going to 3.73 would make a difference in the mpg or not.

What mpg are you getting with the 3:42's. I'm not uphappy with the mpg numbers I'm getting, just unhappy with the 4.19 a gallon and we all know that it's only going to get worse.

This has been discussed on here many times probably, but I want to bring it up again now that diesel here has hit 4.19 a gallon. I have 97 Sub w/ automatic and 4:10 gears. I've replaced the injectors due to having approx. 130k miles on them and I'm saving up to replace the injection pump also...
