hey guys new to the forum i have a 2000 chevy 3500 dually with a turbo diesel <sorry dont know what motor it is >but a couple days ago my check engine light came on and then my truck got supper lazy and im not sure what to do is there a way to take the codes out to see what it has without a scanner? i stopped driving it so i dont mess it up more but i need my truck asap what do you guys recommend thanks in advance by the way im in los angeles ca

 

Can have Checker, Autozone, Napa, or O'Reilleys hook up a scanner and decipher the codes.

BTW, welcome to DB!!!

 

do the regular scanners work on diesel cars as well?

 

as long as it is OBD II they should and your truck being a 2000 it is OBDII, just take it to a parts store and have em read the codes for ya and see what it says

 

Welcome

Yeah just take it to a auto parts store they should check it for you.

 

WELCOME !!!! And Good Luck with your issue!!!!

 

First off, Welcome!

As for your codes, just like WildBill said, most of the parts stores will check them for you. Once you have the codes, you can find out what the isue is pretty easily. Dont forget we have a code checker right here https://www.dieselbombers.com/codes.php

 

you guys rock!!!! thanks

 

Should be a 6.5L if memory serves. Good luck - make sure you let us know what you find.
