    6.5 injection pump timing wrench?

    3 bolts. 1 up, center on the IP, and two down low on either side. I have a single stat, and took an old craftsman 15mm, torched it enough to bend to about a 70-75 degree angle. I tried a 45 degree angle first, but it wasn't enough to make it work. Once I had it bent, I used a very large set of...

    Opinion - The 6.5 Diesel Suburban is the greatest vehicle ever made. Discuss.

    We had a suburban a few years back. traded for a conversion van,(we have 4 kids) and now the wife actually wants a diesel sub. I almost teared up when she said it! So now I'm online trying to find a 95 with decent miles. They are few, and far between. I want the 95 because its still OBD 1...

    A Couple LB7 ?'s

    Hey all, I am doing some research for my father in law on this one. He owns a '02 CCSB with 101k on it. He has never had an issue with the engine, though the truck does have some interesting electrical quirks. He wants to open it up a bit, he has a 26' Travel Trailer that he has pulled alot...

    why so many 6.5's

    Thats funny that the "Rubber Necking" be brought up now. Its become a game in my truck with my boys to see who can spot the most "diesels" when they are with me. And though my wife would never openly admit it, she plays too! :thumbsup: I had never noticed the destiguished bumper holes...

    DIY Turbo Master

    Its funny you said that putting a thread on the existing rod is what you did. I was looking at mine yesterday wondering if it would work, seeing as I don't have a welder at my disposal. Looks like I got no excuse now. :biggrin5:

    Installed my Pyro guage!

    Sounds like your EGT's are about the same as I had prior to the new exhaust. Now i only see the 850-900 range if I'm pullin something. And even then, it only goes that high while I'm accelerating. Once I get it up to cruising speed, it drops to about 750 and stays there. I tapped the back of...

    6.5 4L80E transmission mount

    It shouldn't move that much. That would defenately cause a vibration. Mine was not cracked either, but the crossmember it was attached to, was loose from the frame. :yikes:I went ahead and replaced the tranny mount too, just as insurance, but once the crossmember was fixed, so was the vibration.

    CD player works, No Stereo?

    Yeah, thats what we're running into i think. It turns out only the FM stations are affected, the AM and XM are not. Its weird. But the PRND21 cluster is also out, and we had to pull the fuse for the power seats because the heaters would come on at random and go crazy. The last thing you need on...

    CD player works, No Stereo?

    Hey All, I'm trying to help my father in law a bit with his truck. He has an '03 CCSB, with the bose 6 disc-in dash set up. The CD player works fine, but the Stereo doesn't at all. FM-1, FM-2, AM......Nuthin. Is it fixable? or are we looking at a new radio?

    What Farmdog said! Great looking setup, go have fun!

    Feel free to say...."I told you so"

    Taking them off with hand tools should not be a problem. Thats how they went on for proper torque. If you don't have a breaker bar, you might look into one. But you could probably do with out one, just a little easier with.

    Starting problem when hot.

    I have had the same problem over the last week or so. Thought it was heat related, as temps have been up lately. Mid to upper 80's and a time or two in the low 90's. Turns out my lift pump crapped out on me. Would start fine first thing in the morning, I think due to backing into the drive with...

    Finally towed something

    Matt-The clutch engaged around 210. It crept up above 210 once, and i backed out of it quickly. Thanks for the heads up on the single stat housing TD. Hey Dave, is the H.O. pump you have for your year of truck? or was it for another year that worked on yours?

    Finally towed something

    Well, after owning the old girl for about a year, I towed with it this past weekend. It was my in-laws 24' pontoon boat. This is the first pontoon that I have ever towed, and basically its like pulling a 2500 lb parachute. I had a 20-30 mph constant crosswind. And coming home yesterday, it was...

    stripped Rear Break Bleeder Help.

    I've got a nasty little scar as a reminder of a popped line on my arm. Rubber doesn't cool off as nearly as fast as you want it to. You would think that burning through a shirt first would cool it down. :mad5: But it don't!
