    FSD/PMD "Points to Ponder" How hot does it get

    Warmer weather coming, some new faces on the board thought I'd bump this back up to the top of the pile for consideration why a remote FSD out of the engine bay is one of the best recommendations we make around this forum.

    Heat Wrap

    In the elbow at start of run driver to passenger side "low point" driver side You talking about aftermarket headers or the original cast ones? if cast probably not an issue,

    94 6.5 starts warms then dies

    Typical life of injectors is 100K so you are due for a fresh set, IP seal fail is not a common fail mode could happen I guess but not common, I'm inclined to suspect injectors, One of the other guys will chime in later as well

    Heat Wrap

    Might have been slight improvement but IMO not worth it vs downside of rot or being unable to see and developing issues, x over is only for getting exhaust left to right side of the engine/turbo collection manifold

    94 6.5 starts warms then dies

    Could be worn injector/s filling up the cyl and washing into CC, how many miles on the current set, also any smoke out the tail pipe while idling if so what color ? A lot of smoke while starting ?

    Heat Wrap

    I did the heat wrap on X-over and did not notice any difference, IMO for X-overs best improvement is mandrel bent one vs OEM "crinkle bent", also even though I applied multiple coats of high temp paint on the wrap to "seal it" water still got in there and allowed it to rot, and I did not see...

    Air filter testing

    My progression through filters was OEM paper to the K&N that came with my Banks Stinger setup then the Amsoil oiled foam , to the Amsoil Donnelson, and finally the Heath/S&B on there now all have/has excellent results with oil sampling I learned a lot about filters when Arlen Spicers test came...

    Cylinder Pressure Data Logging?

    Possibly Omega could point you in the right direction http://www.omega.com/ they supply some of the test equipment we use in turbine testing but it isn't cheap.

    Cylinder Pressure Data Logging?

    Corrected the typo

    Was talking to a co-worker that also has a 6.5 turbo diesel about my fuel issue...

    test for lift pump output is pretty basic and requires vehicle to be driven to know for sure as test at idle only tells part of the story, does not let you know of partially blocked sock or if lift pump is getting reduced output, load test as outlined in the TRL...

    Was talking to a co-worker that also has a 6.5 turbo diesel about my fuel issue...

    Pinhole in return would cause a fuel leak externally, but would have no bearing on operation beyond that; the return is pressurized albiet very low pressure so when engine is running no way for it to suck air and that then causing operability issues, more to your buddies story I think

    A Team Turbo

    Quite allowed BG; this site unlike some others out there does not curtail any mention of product or vendor or do childish things like limiting input to astericks ***** for things "blacklisted" by their management, our discussion here is open we do selectively limit use of hotlinks that go direct...

    New guy from wny

    Welcome to the site Justin, don't worry about the reflash the S stuff can be tweaked for offroad use like you didn't even know it was missing, unless NY has something other than opacity test a better turbo won't hurt you at all, you could go with a TM for now and a boost fooler for improvement...

    Lift pump question

    I've never seen it in writing, but from my dissection of the pump in the TRL thread of lift pumps, I suspect that "chip" & board are used to monitor line/supply pressure to the IP via current monitoring of how hard the pump has to pump since there is no pressure switch in the system to tell the...

    Lift pump question

    Check with a gauge under load to 100% verify lift pump output because it can purr but still have weak output, on OBD-II lift pump run is momentary during the glow cycle, does not become "active" until sustained cranking as in a start mode or OPS is seen be OPS, that said PCM will keep lift pump...

    6.5 replacement options

    In my case it was ride quality & mpg the 2wd has spring suspension in a C1500 vs torsion bar in 4x4, and 2wd mpg on the 3:42 burbs is better than the 3:73/4:10s most common in the 4x4 version. Plus height of the 2wd suits my wife better in/out than the 4x4 being slightly taller; and she who...

    Throttle pedal assembly...

    I suspect just cleaning the "WIPER" & contacts in the original one would be sufficient to make it a spare.

    Lift pump question

    Bad OPS will not preclude a OBD-II 96+ lift pump from running, read about OPS/Lift operation here : http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/showthread.php?6872-Lift-Pumps-amp-OPS-operation-and-troubleshooting
