The Conversation Pit
This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it!

Thanks, BlackSTX! This is how Bill and Corey have really built their business, from recommendations by satisfied customers (friends) like you and me. Hope he shows up here and Cleatus12r (Cody) gets to talk to him.

Jack, it's never a problem to steer people to a place where they'll get the help they seek. If you can't assist them yourself, but you can point them to someone who can, you've done a service for both.
Besides, this forum is a place where someone can get help without the antics associated with some of the other sites. I think we're all adult enough here to realize some people preferences don't match with ours, and that doesn't mean we have an excuse to belittle or ridicule them for it. That is one simple reason why I would gladly send someone here for answers.

I'll help him if you can help me with a 6.5L problem

Seriously, I can sell ketchup popsicles to women in white gloves.

Tad, we're definitely on the same wavelength! You said it perfectly!

Cody, ketchup popsicles? You didn't tell me about this talent when we were in Vegas. What the heck else were you hiding?

Hey Cody! You probably aren't surprised by the number of mechanics and service writers who don't know much, if anything about diesels. In fact, one of the service writers I worked with admitted to running from the desk when a diesel came in the shop. Some of the guys I worked with years ago would outright refuse to touch them too.
While I have not personally worked on a diesel in years, I never ran from them, I wanted to learn more. I actually love the 6.5L turbo trucks I got to drive, and would love to buy one if I could find one at a good price that was still rust-free.

I'll pass on a popsicle though..... ketchup isn't my flavor.

Diesels ARE my speciality. However, the 6.5L has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I actually have a guy here that has souped up his '98 with injectors, an intercooler, aftermarket turbocharger, etc.

He just put a new long block in it since he blew the last one up (go figure ) and now the dang thing just won't run worth a crap. White smoke (unburned fuel) at anything above an idle. I can't advance the injection timing enough to even do the TDC learn. The marks on the pump and the front cover are 5/16" off (advanced) and it still needs to go more. I told him to pull the front cover and see if the timing marks on the cam and pump gear were lined up. He said they were. I was out of ideas.

Any thoughts?


Dang I love electronically injected diesels.

Here's what I learned about getting this thing set up. Using Tech2 to disable the stepper motor you can then get it to learn TDC. Any movement of the crank sensor will require it to be relearned. Disregard any marks on the pump or cover.... as I was told: "They shouldn't be there, they were probably made by someone at some other time." I scratched my head at that too, but after looking at a reman pump we had, there were no marks on it. (?)
But the owner said if you have any questions you're more than welcome to email him, he's happy to help out. Walt, the owner, responds to all tech questions personally, and usually responds to questions within a day. http://www.ssdieselsupply.com/contact.html
Just be sure to include all the info you have about the truck and what this guy has done to it, the tech form asks you for this too.
Walt is a good guy, very knowledgeable, and like Bill, doesn't believe in selling you something he hasn't proven to be a benefit. Drop him a line, I'm sure he can help you figure out what is going on with this guys truck.
