Hi all, I'm a diesel newbie and just bought a 99 k2500 (8600lb) with a 6.5, automatic and 223,000km on it.

I just got it from a friend who drove it to a shop for regular maintenance and after a week they couldn't start it.
The shop owner bs'd his way out of even trying to fix it I think since when I asked him what codes it spit out he said none and then when I asked if the obd2 connector was wired in properly (autostart and alarm wired in closeby) he said no...ummmmm...bs..
I took it to a friends and we hooked up his scantool ($400 version) and it spit out only this code -----
p0001
I have looked it up and it say "fuel volume pressure control regulator"

I also have no WTS light and the glow plugs are not energizing

I also have what appears to be a blown gasket on on side of intake
(up high ..where intake splits...some lost pressure I'm sure)

This is alot of possibilities I know but can someone direct me to where and how to test my Fuel volume pressure control regulator

At least I could start on it..instead of pacing around it...lol
The engine turns fine (sounds like normal turning speed)
is there a link someone knows about for the electrical
This truck ran like new till it wouldn't start btw.

I have been shopping for days for a damn manual and can't find one in my area and I ordered an online version and it will be downloading for another day and a half (if it works--lots of lightning and power outages here)
Thanks

I will go through the list and check the stuff off. Awesome list btw.
I'm waiting for the manual I got online to download for I would guess another day (5 gigs) and am stuck looking at it and pacing withouut an electrical schematic to follow.
If anyone would share one it would give me something to do untill I can go through the list.
No manual on this is worse than the 2 week wait i had to get my 98 saab 9-3 manual.
Sorry if I skipped the list improperly..i read around and searched for hours before asking.
Thanks
