    To use ether properly, you *should* have someone cranking the engine while another person gives a quick whiff to the air cleaner... If that is scary, use WD-40....

    Looking at the options for a repower

    I would do a 4BT swap...much more potential. Mind you, with the cost of a swap, you might be surprised at the prices of used LB7's.... Just my 2 cents....

    Rebuilding A 6.5 Diesel First Time Need Help

    Hope you didn't toast the bearings.... We had an old 6.5 that blew the oil cooler lines on the highway and by the time we shut the engine off and coasted to the side of the road, the damage was done....needed a new engine. Hope the truck is treating you well besides the age...

    You and I both know that the fuel solenoid is what lives under the 'rubber boot'. Most likely a seal leak...

    Not that I am aware of. I know that I made some splices into the ECT circuit a few years ago. I can't remember if it was on the truck you have, or the one I owned previous. Pull back the loom and inspect it. I doubt that my soldering let go, but you never know with a multitude of...

    97 k2500 Chevy 6.5 Dead HELP!!!!!

    The theft deterrant is the least of your problems... If you spray in ether, and the engine is rotating (engaging the starter), the engine will fire up regardless of your IP, injectors, electronics, etc. This is starting to sound like a broken record....test the compression!
