Diesel Bombers - Hello from Pensacola, FL

Hello everyone,

My name is Sam and I am new to the diesel scene. I have been working on gassers for years just never could afford a diesel. I have a 1993 Chevrolet C3500 with the 6.5TD, Dually, Crew Cab. Automatic. When I got the truck it had some major shifting issues, no OD and hard shifts. I checked the TPS and it was corroded, worked it and got it working, changed fluid and filter and cleaned all sensors under the pan, now she is working like a charm, smooth shifts all the way through with OD. I am going to clean up some grounds today and work on the grounds in the gauges to keep them from being jumpy, oil pressure and Fuel gauge. I am also going to put the relay on the OPS for the lift pump. I pulled and inspected the Crank pulley and it looks good no stress or cracking on the rubber, however I believe the Harmonic Balancer itself has a slight wobble, not sure if this is normal for these engines. Here is a link of a video of the engine running and the Balancer.
