This is my first post and I just wanted to say hello. Finding anything on the net that resembles real information for the 6.5 has been a challenge. I ran across this by accident while looking at veg diesel posts on a homesteading site.

This is my first diesel and while I am pretty good on gas engines, I;m lost with the beast. I love the truck but even the manuals I've found are pretty generic. I had a problem when I bought it and knew it was in a gang of wires. I knew I was in trouble when I would ask friends that work on diesel what that thing is and get the damned if I know....answer.

Anyway.....glad to be here

Welcome to the site, Peter. Take a look at the FAQ section to better familiarize yourself with what you're driving and how to troubleshoot future problems. Also a great way to see how to better improve your truck and for any future mods planned. I've learned a great deal about my truck and have had good luck by reading about different ideas from fellow 6.5 owners there and the threads. Good Luck to you! James
