Yeah, whoever invented the cordless impact driver deserves a Nobel peace prize. I don't have a Milwaukee, rather the latest Craftsman brushless which is basically a DeWalt. I absolutely love the cordless impact driver.
Just wanna start by thanking you, this is my first diesel and out of all the forums and videos available, yours have been the most informative. Just the lil nuances on how to get the injector lines off the plenum and the fuel hose and lift pump tricks are worth their weight in gold for a newbie like myself. Im an Armorer by trade and am used to working on firearms so this is new to me. Thanks again and keep at it!
Love these old trucks. Been working with them for a long while and own a few and even more 6.5 turbos, Two of which are custom putting out roughly 300HP.

One morning at work, a co-worker told us about a group of people standing around a car that wouldn't start. The car was cranked three or four times, and it would crank fine, but it would not fire. Then one of them went over to his car and got out his jumper cables... Clearly did not understand the concept.

Worked on so many of these back in the 90’s so many injection pumps on the 6.2 and the 5.7 oldsmodiesel. Now I kind of want a 1/2 ton 6.2 to LS swap or a G body diesel. Yay California smog laws.
Great work ,now all I get from the wife is honey I am eating,? Forty years of marriage n many years working on junk.LOVE IT , thanks Jeff, God bless y'all real good.
My grandpa had the same truck.. Drove it into his 80's. Taught me drive in it.. Cut firewood.. Many memories. He died a few years ago.. And grandma gave it to me. It's sitting on the farm.. Needs some work. I hope to have the opportunity to restore it someday.
As a preservation method, get the one gallon can of WD40 and a pump sprayer. Wet everything down twice a year. Everything. Engine, hinges, (especially hood hinges)chassis, door seals. If you intend to paint it, just soak the rust prone areas.
I'm old enough to remember when "having a Milwaukee" made things better for the mechanic but not by speeding the job up! I believe it actually slowed things down, but the mechanic was feeling no pain!
Thanks for the videos on the chevy 84, helped me a lot in the last days, as I changed my fuel filter I send air in my system. With your videos, I fixed my problem! A big thanks from Canada.
@@ElderlyIron I have, for a couple of months now. BTW I would like to write you in pv, do you have an email or messenger I can contact you? ( for your mechanical services, and eventual purchase of a new/old pickup )
I once bought a car that started like that. Rrrrrrr..........Rrrrrrr..........Rrrrrrr. After several slow cranks, it would fire right up. Always between 1 and 4 rrrrrrrs before the good cylinder came onto the firing stroke and away she went. Got it home and found the problem - the battery was drier than the Atacama desert! Several litres of distilled water fixed that, and that battery lasted another 2 years. Never had a problem with the starter motor either.
I've worked on many 6.2's and they are always uncomfortable to work on, my knees were hurting just watching you lol. The injector lines are glass lined internally, if they get bent they break up inside and will clog things up.
You need a over the engine creeper. It is a common ladder/platform that i see used all the time on trucks. Makes it much easier to get to the back of the motor.
Fuel lines are fairly important to engine operation. I bought an old IH tractor from a guy who told me of it's quirks the best he could. He said never leave the fuel shut off in the off position or I'd have to bleed the injector pump and lines. I never had that problem, but I noticed I could never get consistent full throttle speed. Plenty of power, but it would drag down to 1300 or 1400 rpm. Everything leaked on it. Everything. I thought it was a hydro line leak coming from a connection under the fuel tank. One day I parked it and noticed a gusher leak there...turns out the drip had been a cracked metal fuel line all along and was now draining 11 gallons of diesel out pretty quickly (lost about 3 gallons in the time it took to run to the shop and grab an empty fuel can and funnel, and a clean bucket because my one diesel can was only 5 gallons. Could have been worse. I fixed the line and the engine speed problems were gone also. I believe that was where he was getting air in the system before as well. Four years ago...still starts and runs like a champ. Long live the BD154 diesel engine!
I get scared removing intake manifolds and plenums, removed one on a ford 4.6 too late to go to the parts store, saw a knock sensor that I knew was going to screw me later but I needed the car the next day. Week later it was off again to replace that same knock sensor.
I have never cranked that much on a diesel. I usually crack the injector line loose and bleed them. But with the diesel we get now is does not stay good like the old diesel. I always have trouble with my ford if it has sat for a few months.
i had a '94 6.5 exact same issues, every fuel line was rotted INCLUDING THE ONE UNDER THE INTAKE PLENUM ... lol on the plus side they are not too difficult system to work on, mine had a electrical lift pump on the frame under the driver side door, had to be replaced every 2 years.
That's possibly a replacement motor my buddy's 6.2 diesel doesn't have valve covers like that but honestly they could have just swapped out the valve covers so check into it you never know..
Unfortunately, all my 6.2's have been in Vans. lol So you think getting to that is a pain. Actually, I think I'll just shut up now because once you get the dog house off it is all spread out right there for you with the filter being in the back. Well, it used to be in the back. I mounted it underneath because I absolutly loath removing the doghouse.
I'd have replaced it with a stainless line since it had been chewed on by a rodent. That's just to much work for a minor repair, to not spend $18 instead of $5 for a fix. Labor is much more valuable these days not to mention, you may have to buy intake gaskets everytime you replace it. JMO
Those were the electronic injected 6.5s. The PMD module that controls the injection pump on them, is mounted on the injection pump, under the intake. And not only is the engine heat itself high under there, but the PMDs themselves get hot. They fry and cause all kinds of issues like stalling and running away. They make relocation kits and coolers to solve that issue though.
No ya don't say it's not going to start Ya tell em the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Or voting for the same politician over and over again and expecting things to get better. Hey get your order. Number 2 pickup Hey number 2 pickup He keeps hanging up Okay number 2 fuel pickup now or never, last call. Good stuff Jeff and yeah the knees ain't what they used to be. Happy Motoring.
Those old 6.2 are good motors. It looks like it only has 47 ,000 miles on that truck. They paint and emblem still on valve covers being a delivery truck it could be. Those damn mice will DESTROY a Vehicle. Its Sad what they do
Typical small fleet vehicle right there.. every fluid on the truck could be leaking, half the tires are almost flat, and the brakes were shot 500 miles ago.. but as long as it can make it to one more job site, its good to go... lol
it looks like a person can put an electric fuel pump in series with a manual fuel pump, is that what you did? I am having air in fuel system been fighting it for 4000 miles. I thought I had it fixed it ran for about 3000 miles then sdid it again i fixed it again, or so I thought.
Replace every rubber hose upstream of the pump. I used the electric to determine if the mechanical was bad. what I found was cracked hoses at the tank, allowing it to suck air. Yes, you can connect them in series, but in the end there was no need to. There are also hoses at the fuel switching valve if you have dual tanks, and the switching valve itself can leak. Air leaks don't necessarily show up as leaking fuel once no vacuum is applied.
ruurt ruurt ruurt......then the starter lets all its smoke out. next thing they say is "just my luck! dead batteries!.....they replace the batteries and it still wont crank over.... "huh.....i guess i need a starter too?"
Dan E. Boyd Nope, contrary to popular belief, the 6.2 - 6.5 engines were designed as Diesel engines from the start and were not based on gas engines like the Olds diesel was.
You’d have to swap the trans too. The 6.2/6.5 use the regular Chevy bellhousing bolt pattern vs. the Buick/Olds/Pontiac/Cadillac bolt pattern that the Olds Diesel used.
Hay that is a goodwrench engine...that is not the original engine.... if interested the tube looking thing on the right th-cam.com/video/B6KGt7Ib-NI/w-d-xo.html is the glow plug controller. They are junk. I was changing mine every 6mo until i gave up and put the electronic controller from a 1991 on my 6.2. It worked much better. The original had a heater that warmed up and that is what would kick the plugs in and out. The 1991 had a timer that would trip the plugs on and off. you had to connect a wire to the starter. once it saw that pulse from the starter solenoid it would then kick into afterglow..it assumed the engine started. was a much more dependable system.
I am not fond of the early years of diesel pickups.. big trucks had real fuel heaters an block heat or glow plug to get it more ritise. The starters weighed enough for three of them an now the lightweight replacement comes an you scratch your head as to how could this light weight little starter turn this behemoth over. Not only turn it, it turns right nicely. So to keep this from getting novel status, I bring this to the table. You get out of the hospital an your in all sorts of manadgery to hold you still an can't scratch your ear (only thing missing is that collar that you use on a dog) so people are full of oh, sorry here let me hold that door or something thats more really irritating. Two weeks later in same but washed shirt an pants, some youngen is taking shots at you going in an around till you get dizzy. and here is the best part; crawling up on to the engine bay to work an those an others that decide to jump right in, hurt really bad now but your the only one there.....use all the "unnecessary" growns that you need and stretch em out if you please... I started hurting way before your age now as you might of, and at 73 feel like that damn train did too hit me head on!
@62guitarguy yep. I used my saturn station wagon. Hooked to the brake booster hose. Hooked the booster hose to a adapter, connected to a piece of vinyl tube, going to a old Jack Daniel's bottle. Then other hose to return line. Normally I use this setup for bleeding brakes, but heck it's the same concept.

Is this the model GM diesel that had the meter pumps go out because they got overheated being to close to the engine block ?
