    Will L.... My pictures are real big and get bigger. I was afraid they were too big. I use a desktop and 17" laptop. Don't see how you post "using “insert- full image not thumbnail". Let me know and I'll post it bigger. I did find out you can't post pictures using the "Quick Reply" I'm still...

    This is the area where my recent question is about. This is the picture I wanted to show you asking about the glow plug wires. See the silver vacuum pump that says 4-22 on it. To the left is the goldish wastegate that says 4-22 on it. In between those two you will see a black rippled wire...

    Will L. and jrsovie: Thanks for the come back! I'll have to look into more about the wiring . Maybe GM will know but they might not have info for a 1996 engine wiring?! Nobody seems to have my log in /out problem. Do you know if you have a set time to be on? I don't want to stay on...don't...

    MrMarty51: Thanks! I don't need a wiring harness but I will bookmark those sites if the need comes up. Will L.: I must have written about the wires the wrong way. I don't need new wires. Let's try again about the wires.These are the original wires that were put on at the factory in 1996 and...

    dbrannon79= I wrote this on Feb. 5 to answer your question yesterday on Feb. 12th. You asked if the other 4 glow plugs are connected and I responded below: "Today on the driver's side I checked the 4 connectors (unplugged): one read 10.70 volts....another read 10.68....another read 10.60....and...

    See attached picture of the old 11G glow pics. (3a) After taking out the 4 glow plugs on driver's side.....I checked out the old 11G glow plugs and the new 60G glow plugs with a 12 volt battery. Both look to glow the same (see 4a + 4b). When plugging the new female wires onto the new glow...

    Bezzer: this is not about my problem....I keep getting logged out when I already are checked in. Both ways to get on and get off the sight and when I want to Log Out....it won't come up to Log Out...it asks to log in to do that job. It's very annoying but I can't find the Help sight to notify...

    Big T: Something went wrong with the web page. It posted one reply I made twice and not the one above. Why I cut out the inner fender on the driver side.....it's a motorhome. The motorhome company buys the chassis . They build the motorhome body and then lower the motorhome body down on the...

    2-8-24 10:30am Got all four out on driver's side- no problem. No signs of any swelling. Calling O'Reilly's to see if they have them in stock. If so- they'll be installed today! So far so good??

    jrsavoie, dbrannon79, and Will L.: I did remove each glow plug wire to check continuity. With those small wires that go on the glow plugs and the controller putting out 12 volts...sure seems I should see more than 10 plus volts on my meter. Will L.-How did you find the temperature sender...

    This information a few of you wanted to know...especially dbrannon79. Checked continuity on all 8 glow plugs. They all checked good. Now remember- my first check for voltage at passenger side showed 6Volts about 10 days ago. I did not leave the key on long enough at that time to get a...

About the glow plugs: I looked up on our Trek motorhome site that I belong to...and there is a man that has the exact motorhome that we have. And he found the ones that came with his Trek...

    The strangest thing about my problem and main reason I joined this site was about the 6.5 TD and I can't imagine that nobody (so far) has had a backfire when starting their 6.5TD engine. Being you are a "Well-Known Member" of this sight...Your last remark was crude and un-called for in...

    GM 6.5 TD engine poof problelm

    Hi Fellows! I appreciate all the suggestions you have made. I would like to stop calling it "poof" and call it backfire - like a gas engine. After I turn the key to the on position and wait for the glow plug light to go out... .. I immediately start the engine. It only takes 5 seconds to...
