    1993 6.5 missing

    Another thing: I've always thought that my oil pressure reading on the gauge was inaccurate, for example idling it says that it's at 25 psi give or take, and if I let the engine idle down after heavy towing, the needle will go into the red. I guess this would make sense if there was an OPS problem.

    1993 6.5 missing

    My money's on the OPS. I replaced the lift pump about a year ago when I first started noticing this. It didn't make a difference. I guess I learned to live with it because it didn't happen very often, and it was predictable. But now that it's missing, I'm wondering if the two are linked. I don't...

    1993 6.5 missing

    Thanks for the input. How would I test the OPS? As for the missing, I'm thinking injectors possibly. Note: It doesnt stutter every warm start, but once every day or two is common (it is a daily driver). Cold starts are just fine.

    Right now I'm located in Walla Walla (going to school), but I'm from La Grande, and that is wher a lot of my pictures are taken. As for the upper radio bezel, i got it from a local junkyard for $5, popped the outer frame off and belt sanded the edge of the cubby hold down about 1/4" or so...

    The second 6.5 has a 5 speed, seems to have bad injectors as far as I can tell (gray/black smoke is the norm, along with constant tapping or knocking), the synchro's in the transmission are pretty wore out (sloppy shifting), but it doesn't pop out of gear. The glow plug relay seems to be...

    1993 6.5 missing

    I've had my '93 6.5 for about a year and a half, and a couple months after I got it, I noticed that if I started it back up after it had been running for a good half hour or so, it would start loping, if I was in gear at a stop when it did this, it would sometimes die. If I was in gear driving...

    I'm Nate, 19 years old, currently going to school to study auto tech. I've had my 6.5 since April '11, and I love it! First and best diesel I've owned. I own two '93 6.5's atm, the maroon looking one I got on a trade a couple months ago. With the exception of the exhaust, everything you see...
