saved a fellow 6.5'er a few grand today.

so i was at the dump today and was talking to a guy with a 94 6.5 f code. 320.000 km on it. said he was having black smoke problems. his mechanic wanted to replace the turbo charger and injectors. the guy said like 2 grand CAD for the turbocharger- cant remember what he said about the injectors.

i told him give me a few minutes and i can probably fix your problem. Sure enough after a few minutes diagnosis and i narrowed it down to the vacuum solenoid. gave him an new spare one i had sitting around and off he goes.

feels good to keep another 6.5 on the road :thumbsup:

Good going. One more reason to stay away from mechanics. Did you put him on to DTR?

It's good to know that there are other people willing to take a few minutes out of their day to help out a fellow 6.5er, or hotrodder. I stop every time I see someone with a truck/car I know how to work on broke down.

nah i didnt put him onto the site. should have though.

just told him a few solutions to common problems. pmd, vacuum system, etc.

he had a fsd cooler on the intake- got charged 600 CAD for it at a local mechanic. he had replaced 2 in the last year or two. told him next to go heath - especailly for the price he paid
