I have a 1996 6.5 liter and when going 60 or 70 on the freeway it will suddenly lose power and just shuts off completely.

And after i pull over it will start right back up, its done it 3 times on the freeway and one time in town.

Any solutions or ideas???


Thanks alot!

 

sound like PMD going bad where is PMD mounted at

 

x2. Do some research on PMD failure. Diagnose by swapping with a known good pmd.

 

here a site to read and tell you how test PMD

Thanks alot I appreciate it!

 

Is it hard to install pmd yourself?

 

you going want to fine PMD with a heat sync and you want to move it to the front bumper it will last longer

here site you get one at

or shop around

also if can fine good used one cheap get and keep it in truck for spear never know when one goes out

 

Thanks

 

Its always a good idea I think to have 2 PMDs mounted beside each other if you can afford it, just in case. That way you just unplug the one and plug in the other.

One thing I DONT see in the instruction above, is MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RESISTOR out and put it IN the other one if it dont have it already. Its a LITTLE white colored thing INSIDE the plug on the PMD.

If you have 2 mounted, just buy another resistor on ebay, I see them all over.

I still have the OLD style PMD (black one) the new style is grey, IT HAS DIFFERANT HARNESS. If you just buy a new style (the old styl is no longer made) you HAVE to get the harness adapter.

Right Crazy??

 

i had the same problem with my truck ,,and it ended up being injectors and glow plugs.
