I recently bought this lady, 1996 Silverado with the 6.5 because I needed more pulling power than my 88 scotsdale with the 350 has. But come to find out my Scotsdale can out pull this lady as it sits. I get a lot of smoke when I am taking off or pulling a load with Blue. Max speed with a small camp trailer is 45 miles per hour
From what I understand I have a problem with the Turbo. I operated diesels for years in the military, but this is the first I have owned. While in the military if I had a problem I just had to take it to the mechanic. lol. I have since been retired. I am good at turning wrench on gas engines but I don't have to much knowledge on the working of a diesel. On the Turbo charger there is, lets say a spring loaded bar. If I correct it is a mechanical waste gate. If I am correct, how do I tell if it is working and get my turbo going? Please help if you can
