    Tdc offset

    It’s hard to start with one particular spot on what’s wrong with my truck. I have a 97 chevy c2500 with the 6.5 turbo diesel. I had a p1214 code and I used a tech 2 to find out I was at 2.46 degrees which should be .25-75 after 77c or 170 f. I ordered the 3 wrenches to adjust the pump. Adjusted...

    No overdrive

    Hey guys I picked up a 1994 Chevy 2500 with the 6.5 diesel. I got it cheap due to a mysterious transmission issue. It has the 4l80e and it refuses to go into overdrive or exceed 40mph. I pulled the codes and got 73 81 and 82 and if I’m correct are all transmission related solenoid codes. I’m...

    ABS light on, No ABS codes?

    As the title states, My ABS light is on, but when using GMTDScan Tech, the only DTCs I get are 46 and 88 I know DTC 88 is related to TDCO, that's another story for another thread. Thought a local mechanic with the correct scanner set the timing, but according to Scan Tech actual and desired...

    6.5Turbo owner // Chevy 3500 // Travels stopped with issues

    Hi everyone; my name is Kyle & I travel in a short school bus, that’s a Chevy Express 6.5 turbo diesel. I’ve been recently stopped along my way with issues that have me scratching my head. To be honest I wish I would have found this site sooner- because I’m already $1000 in repairs which have...

    Welcome, Teds Trucks!

    Noticed the banner ad and thought I'd say WELCOME to The Truck Stop. We always like to see pics and videos of the venerable 6.2 & 6.5 engines and associated parts, and welcome discussion and info you would like to share.

    1994 1Ton 6.5TD hard cold starts.

    Okay so Iv been everywhere on the internet looking for a solution to this problem and haven't found one yet... The truck runs and drives perfect with zero issue but, if I let it sit for more then 6hrs or so I will have a long stuttering start with some white then black smoke. Once it starts...

    6.5 connecting rods

    Is there anything better? I am doing a rebuild of a performance 6.5. Actually I should say a buildup of a 6.5. I have one nice S shaped connecting rod that would seem to indicate a potential weakness. Granted it was shoving a piston too big for the cylinder through it anyway but I have heard of...

    The military takeout NAVISTARS and $$$$ to rebuild them

    As I cruise the web I see everyone rebuild the low mileage military takeouts 6.5 NAVISTARS however the money spent seems to be a bit sketchy and suspect the extra $$$$ for a new P400 is a better choice. The question of total seal rings in any 6.5td needs to answered as I see in one video of a...
