Thanks for the thoughts guys... Haven't had time to be 'round here much. I have been so blessed with overtime work, side work, etc, to help keep things moving/funded around here. I've got students in my class that are laid off, and I've been working well into the night all this past week...

I've thought of you a bunch here lately Tim, without much time to post or call.... glad to see all went ok.... JD, keep us posted... you got one of those new fangled cell phone thingys so we can locate you if Ike gets heading your way?

This is a little lighter fair for ya'll... Had to go and pick up some stuff from Lowes. Best bet for the job, was the bus. After all, picking up 4x8 sheets in a passenger van in no fun. So, off I go... since I'm right across the way, dear wifey has me pick up a few items from Stuff*Mart...

Hey guys... I'm still around... just not on here like I was. Tim said for me to pop in and give you all a shout to let you know I'm still alive. I'm in the busy season right now, longer hours, spend time with the family and attempt get the upstairs drywalled, (insert other unfinished...

So where did your getty-up-and-go, go anyway? The most famous part of the 6.5TD engine is the “TD.” That stands for Turbo Diesel. We all love the singing of that turbo under the hood. Some sing, some are of key, and some don’t sing at all. So, let’s dive into the common turbo issues. One of...

1. Depending upon your year of your truck, the ECM maybe powering the relay to have the lift pump run during the Wait to Start period. 2. As you crank, you will develop oil pressure still, even if the engine is not running. 3. When you shut down, the oil pressure will slowly fail, it...

After frequenting the boards for awhile, you’ll notice there seems to be a few things that come around, and around, and around again. One of those things is the Lift Pump, official title: Fuel Lift Pump. So, what is a lift pump, and why does it lift fuel? The lift pump is an in-line fuel pump...

Now selling tickets for the TD world tour, bring your truck, bring your wings, and all go home smelling like diesel fuel together so wives don't wonder. ;)

Pioneering Diesels Senior Diesel Technology Elderly Engine Enginuity (sp?) Elderly Engine Ingeniouses I'm just throwing out ideas... I do like the ones already suggested too.

Cables in good condition? Alternator working? Tach working? x2 on Load testing them. If the batteries are kaput--- should be matched set replacements.

hey... I just couldn't help it... not too many gm buses around. :)

Yepper, check out all the cheapy stuff first. Fuel supply *could* do it, it up to par, move on from there.

Just wondering where ya'll gonna call home now that the smoke has cleared.... poll posted.

Buried is a slight understatement here... I'm just now working on recording projects from our church's Men's Conference...... almost 5 full months ago now... uggghhh. It's only 12:30 in the morning... ;)

I think GM should make a little bell go off every 100k miles so you can appreciate "hey you made it" Cangrads scruff!

You can, but no cryin' when you break it :cryin:

DTR is an a site just for guys like us, "owned" by guys like us. TDP is a site now owned by a group of guys who own other forums, and really aren't going to change anything according to their word. Both sites are fine after all the hysteria.... I can't find anything bad about this place...

Lift pump maybe stopping from loss of cam signal with OBD-II system dumping lift pump relay. Chicken or egg? ECM power dumping for lift pump and ECM, or another do-dad messing up that causes stall, and lift pump dies because of lack of engine RPM. I hate to recommend going to the dealer...

Exactly radrick.... that used to be in my signature line for folks to post the results of the fix so we all learned together...
