how much do the 60gs usually run? I've got about 80 left bucks till next week and the ACs I've found are about 8.99 each. What about the voltage draw? Is a 3-4 volt drop a normal amount for these trucks?

If I were to change the glow plugs, which would y'all recommend? I did plan on doing them anyway, I just hoped I'd more time before they needed it. I have a VERY limited budget and my choices are AC Delco or Autolite. I'm leaning toward the ACs, but I'd rather know for sure which will work...

Actually I got kinda lucky. I didn't buy it, I traded an 83 El Camino that needed some work for it. I really do like the truck and the way it drives, it's just gettin it to start. I did get ahold of the guy tonight and he said he's been using ether to get it to start. With that said, it seems...

217k miles, auto trans and I have no idea when it was serviced. I just got it 3 days ago from the original owner's grandson and now I'm stuck.

When I tried testing the pump earlier the batts were nearly dead. Just charged and put them back in and the lift pump is working well. I tested the plugs in the block and didn't even get a reading on my multimeter. Did the 94's have an issue with the injector pump getting weak? What's the...

I just changed the fuel filter and the element was almost black. I don't think it's been changed in years-there was a freakin mouse nest under the engine cover! The fuel seemed ok, no grit or discoloring. Topped off the filter housing with a little Seafoam like I've done on the bigger trucks in...

Thanks for the help I will start testing everything and see what's bad. I just need to figure it out soon since this is my only vehicle right now!

The oil pressure gauge works so wouldn't the ops be good?

I just used the key and didn't hear the pump running this time. I had my brother watching the drain while I cycled it. From what the guy said it's had trouble starting for a while, so the pump is the likely culprit right? Where would I get the relay upgrade and how expensive is it?

Thanks, I'll do that.From what I know of diesels it's always good to have a little extra pressure

I checked the glow plugs but I have cheap meter so no reading. I opened the bleeder valve and no fuel so lift pump is first repair. Do I have to use an oem pump or can I use a universal aftermarket? If so what psi do I need?

What about the injector pump, pump driver or the optical sensor? Are those a common issues with these motors? I checked the fault codes and only got a 12 (no codes present) but the service engine light was on while I was driving it. I only assumed it was a farm truck from the body condition (no...

It was cranking fast but I have to charge the batts. They have gone down from trying to start it. The oil and coolant is at the right levels. No smoke that I noticed. The glow plug light is cycling for about 5 or 6 seconds but I don't know how hot they're getting. With it being a one owner farm...

It was running when I got it so wouldn't that mean it works? I've only had one other diesel and it was a Mercedes 300sd that didn't have a lift pump. I have next to no experience with a diesel V8. The guy I got it from said it had a hard time starting but it's been that way for a couple years so...

I just got my first 6.5 turbo yesterday and now it won't start. It was driven to me and I drove it around but never shut it off till I got back home. Now it just cranks over and doesn't seem to even try to fire:mad2:. It runs fine (when it runs!), idles smooth and has no hesitation or shudder...
