so my 97 2500 with 6.5L td dies while driving im thinking I need a new pmd any advice on who to order one from and what one to get?

 

Might want to do another test first,does the instrument cluster die at the same time the truck stalls?
If so the ignition switch might be the culprit.

Does it start up again quickly or do you have to wait a long time before a restart and find that it runs for a shorter amount of time before it stalls again?

If it does need a pmd there are several options now,most economical is this FYI:

Note what customers bought together below the item and if needed buy the whole kit.

Leroy Diesel and angelofishes on ebay are also good vendors for pmd's,or buy from a site sponsor here.

 

the cluster stays on and most of the time it will start up quickly sometimes I will have to crank for a while before it starts. when I first started having the problem I could drive all day and it would only die on me once or twice now it dies all the time and sometimes after it starts the wait to start light will blink a couple times I used a code reader and this is what it said p1216 fuel solenoid response time to short

 

Start using ash less 2stroke oil in the fuel this may stop the p1216 code and ad to the life of the IP.

 

ok but the code has something to do with my engine shutting down while driving rite?so after I get it running properly then I should add the 2 stroke? and whats the difference between the black and gray pmds im looking online to buy one and I see two types

 

and I can see the pmd that's on my truck now its mounted to the ip and it is a stanadyne brand is this an aftermarket pmd or is this what gm used

 

this is my first diesel and im trying to learn and figure things out so I really appreciate the help and patients I receive on the page

 

The 1 on the IP will be what gm was using.

What you want is to relocate the new PMD outside the engine bay so it does not see wild temp swings.

This requires a 6' pmd extension harness and a heatsink and resistor.

 

thanks

 

and whats the difference between the black and gray pmd
