6.5 chevy diesel problems
 

My father in law has a 95 6.5 Turbo diesel chevy and it needs and injector pump. Where is the best place to get one, and how hard are they to put on? Its the electric one. Also has anyone done this before?

GM put 6 in my 1994. I paid for the last one, $2200. Lots of upgrades to the pumps. first, the bolts for the optical sensor were too tight, then not enough torque and on and on. Find a Stanadyne rebuilder to do the pump. There is one in columbia, SC that did mine while we waited in a motel for 2 days one winter.

Just did a complete top end rebuild of my 93 6.5 TD

Hello you may want to check with tour local checy dealer, there is a special policy on that component and the truck may be part of it . I think it is 7 years and up to 120000 miles. I will check in the morning and post again

How do yu like it do you use it to pull your boat how does it do seams like you should get more than 9 years out of a diesl. Charlie

My father in law's is a work truck and it has 200,000 miles on it. He usually has 2k pounds of stuff in the bed and it run great. Except for this inj. problem.

I love the truck-It only has 118,000 miles on it but I do use it for pulling the boat and trailer. (14,000 lbs) It got hot twice and that will kill the 6.5 TD. DON'T GET IT OVER 230*
I rebuilt the heads and did some performance mods to the heads to help air flow and lifespan. Also ported the top of the intake manifold. Put the 97 style water pump and thermostat housing on it and had the inj. pump turned up 15% over stock. I have the turbo set to allow up to 15 lbs of boost at low rpm ( under 3000) and installed a EGT. The truck pulls much better now and doesn't get hot. It is a rocket . I estimate I gained 50 HP
The reason it got hot was that I lost the alternater twice at highway speeds and it tossed the serpentine belt.

I have a 1994 C2500 suburban with 95,000 miles on it. I'm on my 13th injector pump and 3rd lift pump. The warrenty was changed on the injector pump from 5 years/100,000 miles to 11years/120,000 miles. That is the only reason I still have it. When the warrenty goes so does this lemon! I bought a 2002 F350 diesel to pull with now and no troubles. I wish you better luck than I have had.

Tinker-you may be suprised at how much you are over the factory's tow rating. When I was looking for a new truckster, I was digging through some old brochures that I had. Depending on your gear ratio and chassis, you could be towing close to twice the rating! That's no BS. They really are rated that low. :rolleyes:

Cord is right. 1994 C2500 6.5 turbo diesel with 4:10 gears and auto trans had a max tow of 8,000LBS. the K2500 was 7,500LBS. That same suburban with 454ci gas engine was 10,000LBS.

I may be able to get you a deal on one if you want . I'll look into it for you . You can e-mail me at [email protected] or call me 908-782-0688 . JOE

I need to know if it's a 4x4 , auto matic or manual trans . They probably want to know what color carpet too !!:D

Just a plug for Boot. I have done business with him in the past and he is a 100% stand up guy. No games, good products and great service. I'll do business with him any day.

You will find all of the info you will ever need. Might as well get some more HP out of it while you are at it!

I have never had a pump problem but I did have an issue with the computer on the side of the pump. Replaced under the extended warranty. Maybe I am just lucky?

i just sold my 96 3500 gmc 6-5 truck just for this reason, pulling the race car trailer at about 13500-14000 it would get 8 mpg. it pulled it ok but slowed down on hills prety bad ,with the hustler it got 8.5-9 mph. with the injector pump timming over 100 it would run 220 dregres pulling and blow black smoke, just to get it to pull. but had to turn up . it had 3 pumps put on it , the last thing was it would just cut off ,it was the driver pump brain thats on the side of the pump. was still under warrenty thank god. a friend just replaced his pump ,someone here rebuilds them for all the dealers in this area, he paid 700.oo exchange, he did it him self just marked the p[ump were u set the pump timming/he said ,prob still have to take to a dealer to set the injector pump timming ? .even when the truck was 1 year old they put a rebuilt pump on it . my bud a chevy said the dont even list a part # for it.there is day and night in the power of the new duro max and the 6.5 and the ride is a lot better.but there was 15.000 list price diff. from the 96 compaired to the 2003 that i just bought.. the 6.5 engine was chevys down fall.

now i here the new duro max s are haven prob with the injectors o rings faleing filling the motor with fuel!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey sunsation , I got the scoop on the pump. Finaly !

What color tag is on it ? IF it is blue ,you can do an exchange .
IF it is anyother color ( red, black etc. ) It is a problem pump and must be highly modified . GM had MANY probelms with these and has done a lot of changes . If it's blue ,your in ! I need the model # off it also . There are several . IF you still need one ,I will get it to you at cost for the love of OSO and me being so damn slow !!:rolleyes: THey tell me you can time it your self if you are able . I will get the details from the shop guy tomorrow . MAke sure you mark the pump when you take it off !!! So the new one goes back on the same way . They tell me The exchange pump is between $700- and $875 dealer . Hope this helps . JOE
