Hello all
New here and nearly new to the 6.5 diesel - I love it.
I have a 1997 6.5 diesel crew 4x4 1 tonne
Starts and runs great drives straight.
A few months ago I was camping with family - drove 150 miles and then another 40 miles on really rough road (lots of shaking) pulling a 2500lb trailer. drove slow and no probs.
Camped for a few days and then on way home realized no overdrive. TC seems to be engaging up to 3rd but wont go into overdrive.
It is same when hot or cold. no slip. no hard shifts. Just runs like a 3 speed.
Had it into a shop and he drove it with the computer hooked up and said the computer is sending signal to tranny to go to OD but the tranny isnt hearing it. He mentioned a problem with these that there is a short sometimes in a signal wire (orange?) sometimes?
He hasn't had time to work on it so I took it to another shop who is supposed to be pretty good and he drove it and said definitely a hard parts problem and needs a rebuild...
I have been driving it since for a few months and no change for better or worse. tows fine, doesnt overheat - tranny fluid looks fine. But would love to get OD back as driving at 55mph revs too high
Any thoughts?
