- Lets be real, this video is just for fun, and who doesn't love the sound of an old 6.5l clanking and clattering to life in the cold. This old girl is going to be going through some changes here in the very near future which I hope y'all are excited for. Y'all are the best, and I will catch you guys in the next one.

Been looking at 6.5 suburban and been on the fence but I'm sold now thanks for the poor financial advice 👍👍
No problem 👍
Yours made mine look like new mine fires right up no matter the temperature
Congratulations
1998 with only 66000 on it@@JessePelkey1
Just got rid of my old 6.5 I remember these epic cold starts😂
Definitely a sight to be seen and a noise to be heard for sure hahahaha
Love that sound. I'm now dealing with a no start situation lol Wow you crank it long i was afraid to crank it that long.
She'll live
I tryed starting my 97 a couple weeks ago in -40ish up here in alberta canada snapped a start bolt broke a starter wire when putting new bolts in batteries blowup got all that fixed and a day later alternator died when i was taking that out i snapped the belt tensioner. Got everything fixed and she runs great now got love keeping an old truck on the road
Jeez man, talk about everything going to hell in a hand basket. I feel for ya
Daaaaaym...that was a test to see if you're Still a Car Guy...lol👍
@JessePelkey1 -40 will do that to a vehicle. Its what we do i have been told by many mechanics we are a special breed the 6.5 guys
@danielkingery2894 yep not once did i wanna sell her just wanted to start rebuilding her with my plans. Love daily driven your projects
@MrWilliewonka69 without a doubt hahaha we're a dieing breed for sure
You have got to get another 6.5 going! Use the insurance money from the wreck!
There is no insurance money my friend, basically I was told both parties are SOL. But with that being said, the new crew cab project is actively underway, videos are being recorded and will be up very soon. Just gotta get a few things done and out of the way and the videos will becoming out shortly.
Jesse been watching your videos since like 2019, i had a 96 crew cab dually that got wrecked in 2020 and ended up buying a 6.0 powerstroke and that blew up bad (melted piston cuz injector hung open) so i just went and picked up a 98 c3500 crew cab long bed that i plan on putting a bunch of work into. Keep making videos man love your content
Man, thank you so much for all the support. Thats a long time to be a supporter of what I've been doing here on the channel, seriously thank you, I do appreciate it. I'm terribly sorry to hear about your wreck with your 6.5L and the powerstroke meltdown. That really does suck and I feel for ya and am glad your ok. Also good to hear you were able to get back into a 6.5L and looking forward to hear about the progress on the project as time goes on. Best wishes man, more videos soon to come.
@@JessePelkey1 of course man, I started watching for the 6.5 content and stayed cuz you are a down to earth guy. I've decided to Cummins swap the 98 crew cab, I'm in Canada and parts are very hard to get for the 6.5s and this one's tired. I still love the engines and will definitely keep watching!
@stxrfighter I completely understand man, that Cummins will serve you well for whatever you need or want to do and the gmt400 is a perfect platform to put one in. And thank you, it really does mean a lot. Keep me updated on the build man, sounds like it's going to be a beast 👍
I have. 1999 6.5 turbo diesel suburban I’m completely going thru everything is rebuilt frame off project. I need a good scan tool soon so when we fire up the reman 6.5 we can check the pump timing and other functions to stay in warranty on the motor what a good scan tool that does that without breaking the bank. I have already shot above my budget on this a lot. Thank you for any information
Good quality scanners that have the capability to do whatever you want to are going to be a bit on the more expensive side unfortunately. But as always Tech 2 is a solid option and is fairly user friendly.
That was almost 40 seconds of cranking the starter on the first crank… youch
she's fine
It wasn't gonna over heat..lol...it started out at 17*...😎
@@danielkingery2894 couldn't find the ° thing on my laptop at the time of editing
@@JessePelkey1 LoL.🤫
@@danielkingery2894 🤣
That starter was a block heater trying to get started mine started with usually 1 cycle when i had it running couple years ago before starter bolts sheered off but its also a hybrid 6.2/6.5 mil surplus engine so its prob a lot less tired
Glow plugs aren't the only issues with this old girl unfortunately man, didn't see the need to include the issues in the video because let's be honest, most people wouldn't care or they would assume that I'm just making excuses. Either way, reading y'alls comments make me laugh
@@JessePelkey1 Yep at least it's a ole 6.5 easy to work on
@@nou8257 Yup
Whats the best head gaskets for the 6.5l diesel engine
I put a 3" on my 94 and dumped it before the rear wheel, in the future imma add the crossover
Very nice
I just got a 98 k3500 gmc dually 6.5l its a nv4500 and its very grumpy when cold
They tend to be sometimes hahaha pretty sweet with a manual👍
You do not have a block heater plug with that kind of weather? Just curious. I bought my 1993 in Washington state and it came with block heater. Western Washington winters we might see a week of freezing. Maybe a day or two of snow. But usually just wet. I would be curious to hear yours after being plugged in all night.
The truck itself does indeed have a block heater, I just forgot to plug it in overnight. Its not often we get weather like this down here in Tennessee (no excuse where I am from Maine and am very familiar with this kind of weather) I just simply forgot is all. But I just thought it would make kind of a funny video. And who doesn't like a cold start on a truck with 3 bad glow plugs and a PMD that desperately needs to be changed hahahaha
Hope ya are having a good weekend Jesse, im curious if you know of any 6.5L platform that may have had a front yoke style engine mount? Ive got a couple older Medium Duty (C-60 GMC) trucks that I'd like to swap 6.5's into but they don't have conventional automotive style mounts.
Thank you sir, I appreciate that very much. To answer your question, unfortunately I do not know of any 6.5L that utilize a front yoke engine mount. For the most part as far as the automotive world goes they primarily used only the clamshell style side mounts. Not to say they aren't out there aren't out there but i simply do not know. By chance and if you don't mind me asking, what engines are currently in the c-60's?
@@JessePelkey1 the two in particular that om wanting to swap are 366 BBC..a taller deck version of a 396...they used the front 'pad' or 'yoke' that sat on the crossmember and a "dog ear" mount on each side of the bellhousing and the trans just hung out in space...much like a semi truck. The gas engines were fitted out to fit the same mounts as the 8.2L Detroit v8 diesel as well as a couple other diesel motors like the 3208 Cat. I've settled myself on fabbing up a custom crossmember for the automotive clamshells.
@danielkingery2894 I like it man, I think it's a great idea. I'm sorry I wasn't much of any help in the engine mount department, but a custom cross member would surley do the trick.
Hey we're from the Alabama Gulf coast... It was freezing here for a few days!
Ironically wife is looking at a blue 94 1ton... Anything specific we should look at/run from? Says it has 227k and was a 1 owner farm truck
If it's got really bad blow by, the harmonic balancer I'd all dry rotted or it looks like Edward scissor hands went to town on the wiring, run.
I got a wiring headache of wiring , if u in the area u can swing by and assist
And what area would that be?
Fellow Mainer why did ya move
Great question man and I have a bunch of answers but I'll make my response as short and sweet as possible.
1: The politics suck
2: too many rules and regulations
3: Adventure (Maine is not the end all be all that a lot of people up there seem to thing)
4: got sick of putting so much time and money into my vehicles just for them to rot away from the salt
5: got sick of being told what I can and cant do with my vehicles
6: The drug problems have increased over the years up there and I didn't want to be around it (granted you can have problems like that anywhere but I digress)
7: ATV laws are stupid ( if i want an aftermarket exhaust on my ATV, snowmobile or dirt bike as well as any other performance modification, then im going to do so without anyone telling me "you cant have that on the trails")
8: got sick of my tax paying dollars going to programs I didn't support
9: I make way more money down here where I live now per hour than I ever made up there doing the same thing, on top of no state tax down here.
I could go on but those are just a few reasons. In all honesty I am proud to have been born there and spent the first 21 years of my life growing up there. But I would never move back.
Have you tried Bosch duraterm glow plugs?
Currently have a set in the engine out of my old crew cab, the glow plugs that are currently in the dually are a set of o'riley auto parts specials. On top of a failing PMD it is what it is
Jesse can a pmd go bad from sitting for like three years and also how do I get my 6.5 to fire after sitting so long any secrets
Its definitely not unheard of man. Electronics are finicky and it is possible
hi y'all, I have a 95 k3500 with a 6.5 diesel that's having a fuel dilution problem, does anyone know where that might be coming from?
Potentially could be where your getting your fuel. When I lived in Maine I knew not to get fuel at certain fuel stations for that very reason. Has this been an ongoing problem or just recently?
Hey Jesse, I'm in the Athens area. Are you close by, I have a Suburban 6.5. I'd like to meet and talk about a game plan to uodate mine.
I reside in Madisonville, not a far drive at all
She has a hell of a time starting eh?
With freezing temps, block heater not plugged in overnight, 3 bad glow plugs and a failing pmd, absolutely hahaha
I thought maybe you were done making done with videos
Nope, if you care to go back and watch my "2023 was a bit rough" video, it pretty well explains my absence
Jesse that’s anything but a silly video! It is exactly what I struggle with on my 6.5L heart Transplant in a Nissan Patrol Y61 wagon here in Sydney Australia . In fact I suspect my car needs a little tune to be honest. Trouble is no one down here has a clue about the 6.5L optimizer engines and most mechanics don’t seem to be able to apply their basic diesel education to help me.
I’m an electrician by trade not a diesel mechanic, but I have had to learn all the basics and educate myself on diesels and more so 6.5’s…
I have a larger fuel pump on this 6.5L optimizer and it seems to play havoc with the starting process.
But once started and warmed up she is beautiful to drive..
I should mention it never gets as cold here as you’re dealing with, but even in mild weather temperatures I have issues trying to start the car from cold.
Any tips for me from yourself or any of your followers would be warmly welcome!
Keep up the good work Brother you’re doing a great job!
Test the glow plugs first and the lift pump.
Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words. Truth be told, this truck suffers from a few issues that unfortunately contribute to the poor starting of this poor old girl. I didn't put the issues in the video because, let's be honest, most people would have seen them as excuse. That and it's kinda comical to see how some people jump to conclusions and react the way they do.
As far as the issues that this truck has that are making it start this way are as followed. Colder weather conditions, it does make a differance and i did not plug it in over night, Very cheap low quality glow plugs that are far overdue for a change, best to buy Bosch plugs that will last. A failing PMD, I have really been pushing the boundaries as far as how far I can go on the cheap ebay pmd that is currently in the truck, and other than the first start of the day being a little hesitant it's been going on 2 years so I honestly can't complain but it really does need to be replaced. Other than those issues the truck would run 100%
So until some others actually read this comment I'm going to sit back and smerk at the comments 🤣
@@JessePelkey1 Hi Again Jesse
So to answer the previous post as well… This engine is a reconditioned ex U.S. military, to the best of my understanding the engine served for maybe a few 1000 miles or less in one of the U.S. Military Humvee’s, then a U.S engine seller sends them out to Australia when they need one.
they (Previously Brunswick Diesel) strip them replace the pistons with some high quality German made one’s every component is replaced with after market parts, bearings etc. the head bolts are from the states they took eons of time to arrive from the states during COVID, they can handle a higher torque setting than the standard head bolt, this is to overcome the water leaks the first engine I had suffered with.
This particular engine has only done maybe 1000 miles since being installed in my car. So I imagine the glow plugs are new? Is it possible that even from new the glow plugs could be dodgy if they’re not the Bosch ones? And I have already installed a high pressure fuel pump. I can’t remember the brand but it is the one recommended on my U.S. You tube feeds.
Unfortunately for me the installer Brunswick Diesel have gone belly up, so I’m on my own now, I will be depending on my U.S. 6.5L enthusiasts more than ever before…
Anyway Cheers from Sydney!
My battery would not have made it that long.
Decent batteries make a difference
Perfect example of why grid heaters are far superior to glow plugs
To each their own
Paid 2700 for it too good deal
Very nice deal on one depending on condition, 👍
It's in great shape had a minty interior minus the busted dash it's a nv truck no rust but it shows in the paint from the sun dash is like a 2nd gen cummins just broken into pieces
@ikiahlewis9169 nice man! Glad you were able to find a great deal on one. The broken dash is unfortunate, but everything is either fixable or replaceable. I know of a few Instagram accounts that sell 100% intact interior pieces including full dashes.
Hey Jesse, where in East TN are you. I'm in the Athens area. I wanted to reach out and compare notes. I have a 98 Sub K2500 6.5. I'm getting ready to start replacing things.
If I had Elon Musk money I'd just buy 'shitty' old diesels and make em last forever with the money, idk if thats the autism speaking or not, but i's vitriolic lmao. (great start btw)
