1994 - 2002 GM OBS Trucks 6.5L Diesel Engine Stanadyne Fuel Injection Pump Replacement & Timing Set

In this EPIC level of detail video we will go over step by step how to replace the Stanadyne DS4 fuel injection pump used on the GM 6.5L V8 diesel engine.
The truck illustrated is a 1999 Chevrolet K1500 Suburban LT, but the parts and procedure will be the same for any 1992 thru 2002 GM OBS C/K truck, van, or Hummer H1 with the 6.5L diesel engine. Chevrolet, GMC, Hummer, and Holden for Tahoe, Yukon, Blazer, H1, Cheyenne, Silverado, Sierra, and Suburban across C1500, K1500, C2500, K2500, C3500, and K3500.
NOTE: Engine timing is required to be reset when performing this repair. You will need a Tech2, or Tech2Win emulator, to perform this timing task. This is the TIME SET procedure shown in the video.

Amazing videos as always, thank you 🙏

[@emso0105]

Thanks for the video. My truck is a 1995 with obd1, would you know if the timing process is the same?

[@DrShock]

You’ll still need a Tech2 or Tech2Win tool, but with the OBD1 connector on the cable end. The Tech2 menu layout may vary from what I showed for 1995 and prior. But both Time Set and TDC Learn menu options should be there somewhere. You could also use the older Tech1 tool for 94-95 trucks.

[@TRUCK_TECHNICIAN]

just so you know the time set function is so you know how close the timing is to do the timing off set relearn , or "TDCO" FOR SHORT, witch you did not do in the video so your timing is not saved in the pcm. the actual relearn can be done with your gm scan tool you have or the koko method. good video though, keep it up. id like to see your tdco numbers in another video

[@DrShock]

Thanks, but that's actually contrary to GM. As I showed in the GM service manual for this model year, GM specifically states *you DO NOT* need to perform a TDCO when replacing just the IP. You ONLY need to perform the TDCO when replacing the crankshaft sensor, or other parts listed. I have another video on setting TDCO, which is a different procedure than time set but similar. You should not perform both procedures, according to GM. Both values are programmed into the PCM by the GM Tech2 tool for either procedure tho.

[@TRUCK_TECHNICIAN]

@@DrShock you always do a tdco when the pump has been replaced I’m a ASE master tech and have done these pumps many times.

[@DrShock]

To each his own. I've been doing GM restorations & service for over 35 years and prefer to only follow the written genuine OEM engineering guidance. ;-)

[@danielb-c9100]

what vehicles do you own

[@DrShock]

Just an OBS pickup truck. The vehicles in my videos are customer owned.

[@danielb-c9100]

Are you a gm mechanic?

[@DrShock]

I prefer working on GM vehicles yes. But my day job is as an engineer, these side gig projects are just what I do on my own time.

[@danielb-c9100]

Old video?

[@DrShock]

Nope. Old truck tho.
