my 6.5 turbo diesel just shuts off!!
 

i am not a mechanic, i replaced injector pump on my 6.5 turbo diesel about 15k ago. mechanic did it. with black box piece too. all newly rebuilt, runs great but at least 2 times a day now it will just turn off as it is running, does not matter if parked or on highway doing 70 mph it just turns off and i have to turn off wait for glo light and it almost always takes only one turn and i am back on my way. but this is not good on highway or when i make a turn. any advise what to do, thanks mark in connecticut.

sounds like your pmd is going which is that little black box you were describing. needs to be relocated out of engine compartment because it will eventually die if you put it back on injection pump.do you have any codes

CHEVY 6.5 TURBO JUST SHUTS OFF
 

NO CODES CHECKED AT ADVANCED AUTO. JUST DIES OUT ABOUT 5 TIMES A DAY. I ORDERED AN EXTENSION 6 FOOT TO HOOK ON BUMPER. WILL THIS WORK?

yup it will work. also need a new pmd and a heatsink

where is the best n cheapest to get a new pmd and heatsink

it could just be your shut off solinoid, which is by the trottle bracket on a 6.5, not sure but just throwing something out there

it is definetly a possiblitie but usually if your shut off soleniod is bad it will not get out of the driveway. as soon as it starts it will shut off

if i move the black box will it just go back to normal or is it shot already? why do i need the other piece? if it so far away.

yeah if the pmd(blak box) is indeed causing you problems its damaged already. the pmd is damaged by heat. not much heat is generated inside the bumper so it lasts a lot longer

I have the same problem that you have. I put on a new P.M.D and heatsink in the bumper. Mine might go for weeks without a problem, and then it might shut off a couple times in one day, but it fires right back up.

did you get a brand new pmd

Now that's what I was thinking..The guy I bought it from said it was new..came with a year warranty..I also bought a second hand one from him for a spare..that came with a one month warranty..maybe both off them are second hand for all I know!!!!

i would not trust it unless it was a brand new d tech or standdyne pmd new in the box

Just curious if you got your truck running properly.. mine is running fine now, didn't shut down in a long while.. I'm thinking it was water in the fuel.

diesel machine just shuts down
 

Answer: my problem was it would run and just plain shut down on its own. i could restart after a while. as it turns out i blew compressed air through the supply line back into the tank and it cleared filth and obstruction in the tank. I was back in business just need to shop vac the tank out using a pvc pipe .

Go yo PMDcables.com they g=have everything you need and you will get it very speedy. Well i did any ways.

HELP HELP WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE REPLACED PDM OPS AND SUPPLY PUMP ILL GO DOWN THE ROAD WHEN IT GETS TO RUNNING TEMP IT WILL SHUT DOWN AND I WILL TURN IT OVER ABOUT TEN TIMES BEFORE IT WILL STARTS UP CAN SOMEONE HELP

mine has been doing the same but its the plug in the harness thats been giving me the problems. where the stock pmd plugs into the jumper lead.

i would also check the grounds on the back of intake manifold on the pass side there is 4 grounds check those

Guys, if you have a problem and you're not the original poster; Start a separate thread.

"Piggy backing" on someone else's post just makes the whole thread confusing and will most likely mean your question just gets lost or won't be answered....
