When you have a 6.5l what causes the speedo to reach 10mph? The truck is in park, and you are just reeving the engine to 2k. I had this happen the other day when it was -2 out(Canandians and northern americans know the temp). I drove the truck around then it would not happen anymore.

I once accidentally drove to work, on the completely snow free , freeway, in 4wd. 75-80mph. Couldnt figure out why the truck was handling so wierd. When i pulled into the work parking lot, i could smell delco tranny fluid burning. I looked down, and the lever was in 4-hi. Of course i...

There have never been any codes. I wish it had codes then there would be something to go after. The truck shuts off / stalls just like you turn the key off. It will then not fire, like it has no fuel, it turns over plenty fast. You will also not have glowplug/WTS light. If you continue to...

Hi all thanks for all the posts. I know it is not a lift pump. I have tested this on the three 6.5l trucks i have access to and all of them started with the lift pump completely disconnected(They actually ran pretty well too which shocked me). This is definately some kind of electrical...

I have loved diesels and always will. Just because they dont need fire(sparkplug)to create power. They do it with sheer compression. I used to own a 1981 olds diesel, Delta 88, "Body by Fisher". I loved that car. First engine was totally shot. Used to dump drain oil in cause it burned to...

Radioman that last post was the best. I have jiggled, checked beat on every connection i can think of. I REALLY DO READ THESE FORUMNS! I cleaned and inspected about 3 times every connection i have ever read mentioned here. The truck has a brand new PMD. The truck has a BRAND NEW ignition in...

I give up. Took the time to put in the ignition switch. Really thought i fixed it. I started the truck up let it idle for 4 hours and it did not die. Moved it outside of the garage, let it idle for 2 more hours, and it did not stall. Shut the truck off and let it cool down to 1 degree...

I am voting for it too. Put new PMD on and truck died in about 50 feet. Bought IGN switch at dealer today for $260. Looks like quite a project to install. I am going to install it tomorrow. Thanks all.

Hi All, First of all i would like to say thank you to all on this site that have helped me and replied to me. I bought my 1996 ext cab 4x4 6.5l TD about 1.5 years ago. Almost right away it started stalling when driving it. I did research and thought it was the PMD. I went online a bought...

i have started mine every day this week at -3 with all glow plugs working. never a prob.

Random stalling PMD Thanks for the reply Veg, It is relocate on the skid plate underneath the truck. It should stay cool there. I was reading about grounding it. DOes the heath kit need a separate gound wire?

Simple fix for second battery terminal location Those common side post batteries have a hard time staying tight with just a simple single connection. On the 6.5l you have 1 battery that has 2 connections on a single battery. It is very hard to sinch them down because the bolt is being...

Hello All, I am starting this thread for all to post(hopefully pictures), of their KNOWN FIXES, for issues with the 6.5L engine. This will solve alot of explanations for simple questions. You can simply tell what you did to solve a problem. Pictures would be nice.

Hi All, First i would like to say thank you to all of you that have helped me by replying to me in the past. I really do thank you. I also thank Bill Heath for talking to me. I am currently experiencing problems with my 6.5l. It just decides to die at very inopportune moments. In the...

Looking for Help on missing and bad idle I am just following up on this. My 6.5L is still suffering from this problem. It seems to be getting worse. It is now missing at freeway speeds. Not alot but you can feel when it misses. Still no codes, have not been stranded yet. Yesterday at a stop...

Sorry for the late reply, been busy. I checked everything over again when it was doing it the other day. It is very annoying because sometimes it will idle perfectly and other times it is horrible(bucking shaking) you can also hear it miss when you are outside and near the exhaust. Again...

Hello all, I have a 1996 6.5l Chev TD. It was running poorly about 1 year ago(it was stalling and dying all the time). I bought and installed the heath PMD/FSD kit. At the same time i installed a new lift pump and regrounded everything. I also removed the TURBO POWER cowl. The truck ran...
