    And the GMTDScanner Says

    I would try rotating the pump before tearing things down. Loosen the three bolts, rotate it, clear the codes and see if it will command a TDCO learn.

    For the scanner, you have to make sure that your laptop's settings are set for COM 4 IIRC... You must have cut/pinched a wire somewhere...gonna be frustrating, but you have to trace them one by one... EDIT - for my laptop, I have my settings in scantech as follows: COM 3, echoing, 8192...

    It sounds like you must have missed a ground wire, or screwed something up during the engine removal. There were absolutely zero electrical problems with the truck. You have to download the software I mentioned to you on to a laptop. Hook the scanner up to the laptop and run the Scantech...

    The old man totalled his 97 k1500 4x4 6.5. Hit a deer on the way home from work. Good news is that he replaced it this morning with an 06 DMAX :thumbsup:

    Weighing my options...

    In 2006 I bought a 94 k1500 6.5 TD. Total maintenance/upgrade costs for the truck for that year alone was $2037.59 In 2007, the maintenance costs were $779.21 In 2008, I totalled the 94 and bought a 95 k1500 6.5 TD. I moved most of my stuff over from the 94, but still had to spend money...

    Rebuilding A 6.5 Diesel First Time Need Help

    No worries on the choke cable - I already bought and installed one from Rec Supply - like $20 compared to $80 from the Polaris dealership.
