    60xt problems

    I bought a Case 60xt coming up on 4 years ago. It only had 500 hours on it when purchased. It now has about 1070 hours. So far I've replaced the auxillary pump, rebuilt a wheel drive motor, the seals blew out again, and I put a new drive motor on it. Costs were $500 for the auxillary pump, $215...

    DB2 Shutdown & Cold Adv Solinoid - where to get?

    I was offered a military 24v db2 for what seems like a decent price, and there's some listed on ebay. Sounds like a pretty easy thing to "swap the caps", but is it really, and is that all there is to it? The book I have shows four connections: Housing Pressure Cold Advance (HCPA) solenoid...

    IP Shot. Now What?

    Pensacola quoted it re-built at $495. With new rotor and head, $695. From what I understand, it's the head and rotor that get warped and cause the starting problems, so there's no since in putting it back together without the new parts that caused the failure. I called the local diesel shop in...

    IP Shot. Now What?

    With the help of some good folks here, and verification on some of the other diesel forums and vendor web sites, I've come to the conclusion the DB2-4911 IP is shot (hot starting issues). So here's where I'm at: 1. 1993 GMC 3500, 4wd with 305,000 miles 2. Body is in real good shape...

    What to look for

    I had a nice lesson with the GM 4wd system a while back. It has something called an "engagement actuator" that has to engage, imagine that, in order for the front wheels to turn. If the light doesn't go on, it's not engaged. You can feel the thing shift, but front wheels don't turn. The part is...

    Checking the electrical output/input of parts. How do I know they are working right?

    Since the system is 12 volts, I'm guessing most devices will be rated for that voltage, and you would expect to see 12-13 volts at the power terminal. The amp load is going to be a little tougher to determine, as well as measure, and you won't know if your reading is good or not without detailed...

    GM-8 rebuild?

    Not having had much experience with turbos, a question comes to mind regarding general wear and tear......... The turbo charger is esssentially a pump. Do the vanes on a turbo eventually wear out? If so, at how many miles would this occur, and what would be the symptoms?

    6.5 Warm Start Problems

    I see many ads for rebuilt injector pumps in the $600-800 range. Does the re-building process correct the issues with head spacing, or does one have to buy a brand new one?

    whats the difference between diesel and gas alternators?

    My '93 GMC 3500 volt meter was doing the same thing. I took it to Auto Zone, where they put a tester on it while running, and said it wasn't charging right. So I bough their new alternator for $120, put it on, and not much difference. Took the original one back and had them put it on the machine...

    6.5 Warm Start Problems

    Hello everyone - I bought my first GM product back in July, a 1993 GMC 3500 with a 6.5 diesel. My other truck is a 1993 Ford with a 7.3, naturally aspirated. It's a great truck with only 80,000 miles. I've had it for 3 years with no problems, and was happy to find a diesel powered second...
