Ok thanks guys. One other ?. I thought I read somewhere that the 98 6.5 has the baro sensor built into the boost press sensor. There is no baro sensor on the firewall and no plug for it dangling anywhere in case someone removed the sensor. Any ideas?

So when I start it up and the lever goes up does that mean the turbo is on full boost or ...?

Hi y'all. So my 98 2500 has all of the possible cylinder balance codes available. The codes are p0263, p0266, p0269, p0272, p0275, p0278, p0281, p0284. The truck starts and idles fine then after a couple of minutes it starts to run rough like it has a miss. You rev it up just a little and it...

Interesting. I ended up ordering a set of Sealed Power bearings number 83860p. Pretty sure they’re tri-metal. I hope. I should confirm that. Thanks for the info!!

Hey guys what do you think of aluminum-silicon conn rod bearings for a 6.5? They're Engine Tech bearings from Rock Auto.

Yeah I hear ya there. Technology sucks. Old school is king

Oh ok thanks

I actually found one online for the entire truck but had a hard time finding this spec. for some reason. It’s a PDF file I found.

Ok. Thanks a lot for your help. I’ve been working on this thing for a while and can’t wait to get her going. Thanks again. That’s perfect. Thanks so much for the info. Much appreciated!

I’m using a dial indicator to measure it.

Nope

Hey guys. Just wondering if anyone knows what the camshaft end play spec. is on a 1998 6.5? I'm about to install the timing gear set and I checked the end play and hmmmmm looks a little excessive but not sure. Having a hard time finding it online. My engine has 300,000 kms on 'er.

Hi guys. Its been a while. So I ended up replacing the I.P. When I installed it I rotated the pump so the dowel was in the same position as the old pump. When I went to install it, it didnt line up with the gear. So I figured the pump may have rotated while fighting to get it out. Anyways it's...

Thanks for your help boys. So here's the update. I got the fuel rate to 8 at first start up with a warm engine. Then it jumps to 12 for couple of seconds them stumbles, jumps to 15ish sets a p0251 code and starts knocking like a bad injector and has a miss. If I unplug the optical sensor it...

lol. Ya I'm kinda crazy. Don't mind getting into things and learning as I screw up. lol Been turning wrenches for 30 years on highway trucks but learning about the smaller diesel. I love that its so easy to work on compared to all that computerized crap that just when you understand it "they"...

Does anyone know how to adjust the fuel rate on this thing. Does it have to be at operating temp? Do you have to install the plenum so it can read boost and iat? When I adjust it the rate jumps all over the place making me wonder if it has to be put back together. What a pain!!!

Thanks

Thanks
