Aces,

I only shot ether in it the first start when I pulled it out of the barn and then after I put new batterries in after it started getting cold here. I hope you are wrong about the compression. Would hate to think I sunk my donut here.

6.5 Girl,

It would be nice to have a plan for sure. If A doesn't work go to B then to C. I am looking at back testing my APPM this weekend. The PDM is $300 plus a relocation kit at $100. I am hoping not to go there yet. Looks like some good info from Aces that I will go through first. I found out that there is no ODM I in my price range so hearing from Aces there is a software may be the ticket for sure. Keep me update to what you try so I can follow along if I don't solve my issues.

Racer,

Cracked the line and no fuel. PMD w/kit $400. Hate to replace that and then find it is the IP. What about the APPM? Can that stop fuel flow? FSO?

Racer,

Fuses all look good. Where is Fuel Solenoid? Is it on the air intake manifold?

Aces,

Too many sites found that offer GMTDscan don't want a virus. Do you have a repitable site you can recommend and where can I get the cable in the U.S?

Ace,

Will this diagnose the PMD?

6.5girl,

Just ran onto this site; www.AccurateDiesel.com - PMD Installation Instructions - Accurate Technical Services, LLC

I have not yet used the info so not sure how good it is but it puts you and I on the right track to getting our beasts back on the open road.

Nothing will diagnose a PMd but trying another one. But GMTDscan can do alot. It can read and clear codes, It can set timing. It can kill cylinders one at a time to look for a miss. it give you readings off all the sensors both engine and trans. It ONLY works on 94-95 6.5TDs

Accurate is a good guy. I deal with Tim all the time. yes the info is "accurate"...

No more Acronyms! My Truck is back on he Road!!!!

I want to thank everyone here for helping me get my truck back on the Road for sure!

Today through many searches and forums I found this link which is the first step by step "No start" I have seen for the 6.5 Diesel and it worked and I didn't have to buy a PMD or IP!!

It ended up being my Optic Sensor, go figure......

Here is the link www.AccurateDiesel.com - PMD Installation Instructions - Accurate Technical Services, LLC for those of you that will ultimately find this post and have a similar problem with your 6.5 and need to know where to start in Acronym Hell to get your beast bellowing gray smoke yet again!
