A video showing how a 6.5 detroit turbo works and all the components. I thought perhapse I needed a turbo but it actually was the vacuum pump. Thanks for watching.

Good job, 6.5 diesel in Europe is something unreal and than again Canada and USA is normal. Sounds healthy.

Have owned 5 of those gmt400 trucks over the years and still have my first, a 1990 c1500 5.7 with just shy of 700k miles! Where I live, rust is almost unheard of. The one's I've owned have all had either the 5.7 or 7.4 gas engines. Always wanted one with the 6.5 turbo diesel and have driven one but they're few and far between here, probably 1 of 100 you see has the 6.5. Before they moved, my neighbor had a freakin cherry 98 crew cab k3500 6.5 with 30k miles that was just their beater trash truck, only got driven every month or 2 to the dump when the bed got full. Would not sell it to me, even when I offered 1k over book value.
@tinmanssaws Жыл бұрын
This is my second or third truck like this, I grew up with these trucks so they will always have a sweet spot. Here it seems like 1 out of every 5 is a diesel. They are super common here but all of them are rusty.

Repairing the vacuum pump is recommended. Bypass ing h putting a manual spring on waste , recommended, went from 11lbs to 15lbs of boost. But it only goes to 15 when under heavy load . Then it gets the JOB done
@jameshumbob8247 Жыл бұрын
Tinman, you may be able to get a little more boost by tightening the wastegate if its possible on your setup, and if you have a ring on the cool side of the turbo, you can remove that as well. It's a diesel buddy, it's going to be dirty and oil everywhere,lol. Love these videos from you, keep it up man, take care.

That's how I got my 01 z71 silverado for 1/6th of book value 6 yrs ago. Previous owner was a family friend that was great about routine fluid&filter changes but probably hasn't ever picked up a grease gun. He's a hunting guide and that was his main rig for 4 years... needless to say, the entire front end was so haggard that I wasn't brave enough to drive it 20 miles to my house! Trailered it home. Darn good truck now!

Hey man, I’ve got a 1997 2500 Cheyenne at idle it’s pumping about 20. Not sure what it is when I’m going down the road. But when I start to drive down the road and change gears to give it RPM it’s like it cuts off not that the truck dies. It’s locked no power and it’s missing. I guess you could say white smoke and just will not take throttle. Why do you think this could be?
@jeffstamey13539 ай бұрын
What do you think could be wrong with my 97 ,6.5 turbo diesel? It starts fine and idles fine and when I start to drive it ,it’s like it loses power and does not die but starts to miss somewhat. I turn off the ignition and it cranks perfectly and idles fine it will not take throttle. I’ve replaced the injector pump the lift pump the east gate solenoid. Also the crank shaft sensor and it still does this same stuff I’m lost as to the problem? Any advice would. BE great
