    Turbo related warm start issue on 6.5TD -94??

    No worries, it just never occured to me to write it because no one asked about it. It's hard to list everything that's wrong about your car without being asked the right question you know. At the dieselplace I was specifically asked about the speed of the starter motor in various situations, and...

    Turbo related warm start issue on 6.5TD -94??

    I did not mean to withhold anything, no special reason for not posting it here other than the fact that I forgot to add that information. Thanks very much for the info and the theory, but I don't think this is correct. Yes, the sound is different, sped up and knocking. But it is not the sound of...

    Cheap, cheerful and safe tuning options for a 6.5TD -94?

    Thanks very much for clarifying! :) I found the interchangable tune chip, very tempting but a little expensive at the moment... Are there any cheaper alternatives, or is that one as good as you're gonna get for the money?

    Cheap, cheerful and safe tuning options for a 6.5TD -94?

    Ah, I understand! Thanks for explaining! I'll see what I can find, hopefully there's an option that works allright yet is withing my budget :) Ok, I see. Then the question is just if my pump is electronic... Didn't the 94s have two different pumps, one electronic and one mechanical? What if I...

    Turbo related warm start issue on 6.5TD -94??

    Thanks for the tip! I always assumed it couldn't be the PMD causing the issue since it was a consistent "Woin't start while warm"-problem and seeing as how the PMD had been recently relocated, but as you say there's no harm in trying it out! I'm gonna see if I can't device a simple test, trying...

    Turbo related warm start issue on 6.5TD -94??

    Well... A little bit... I'm not completely unskilled to put it like that. I do most jobs on my own vehicles, services and so on, and I do construct various things out of metal. Have dona rebuild (not from scratch and up though) on a couple of mopeds and motorcycles. But I've never even attepmted...

    Cheap, cheerful and safe tuning options for a 6.5TD -94?

    Hi, thanks very much! Ah, good tip! I'll get right on that! It has run 230 000 kms and seems to be healthy. Nice and steady idle and very prompt throttle response. It currently has one of those Open type conical air filters (like a KN filter, but not that brand). It is open both on the outside...

    Turbo related warm start issue on 6.5TD -94??

    Hi man, thanks for the info! So it does seem reasonable that the turbo now working might have helped with the warm starting issue? I understand... That probably means the pump is still going bad seeing as the PMD has been relocated to a cooler place in the engine bay... I had been hoping for it...

    Turbo related warm start issue on 6.5TD -94??

    Thanks for the tip! It helps sometimes, but not all the time... I usually try to pour water right on top ot the injection pump, but it doesn't work every time. So I'm not certain if it's the pump being cooled down by the water or something else entirely when it does in fact help... Seems a bit...

    Cheap, cheerful and safe tuning options for a 6.5TD -94?

    Thanks very much for the tips! I'va actually just had the crossover pipe replaced. The previous one was rusted all the way through and all the exhausts were escaping through the rust holes so the turbo had no pressure to speak of at all. I welded up a new one from parts of the old one plus some...

    Hi all! The name's Anton, and I'm new to the forums! Nice to meet you all :) Please pardon a noob question that's probably been asked a lot before, but I would like some tips and recommendations for cheap, reliable, simple and moderate tuning options for my 1994 Chevy silverado 6.5TD 4x4...

    Turbo related warm start issue on 6.5TD -94??

    Hi all! The name's Anton, I'm from Sweden and new to these forums! Pleased to make your acquaintance! :) I would like to start off by asking a question, if I may. Thing is, my 1994 chevy silverado 6.5TD 4x4 has been suffering from a "Won't-start-while-warm"-issue for quite some time...
