Hello to All!

What a great forum this is! I recently sold my '92 GMC K1500 plow & hunting truck. It had a 350 gasser. With the cash from the sale I bought a used but solid 94 Chevy Cheyenne K3500 4x4 crewcab dually with the 6.5 Turbo Diesel.

Picked it up for $2K (Canadian) with 6 extra 10 ply tires.
The truck runs great & rides really nice with the long wheelbase!
It has 260000 kilometers on the clock (about 162000 miles).

Only issue is difficult to start when hot. Starts right up & runs fine after dousing PMD & pump with a bottle of water to cool everything down.

Thanks to the great info obtained here, there are a few things I'll be addressing before hunting season comes up in order to ensure reliability out in the boonies:

-Relocate PMD. It's already off the pump and has a small heatsink, but still over the manifold...thinking behind the grille...
-New Oil Pressure Sender...
-New Lift Pump...
-New Oil & filters all around...
-Rustoleum paint job (the paint is peeling quite a bit, but no severe corrosion underneath!)

I might even drop a rebuilt Injection Pump (see them on Ebay for $600 with PMD), or maybe even a new one...what with almost half the GM dealers in Quebec being closed, somebody might have one laying around!

I am open to ideas & suggestions from veteran members of the forum!


Cheers!

Welcome!

Its great to see yet another canuck on here, or maybe I should say a hab? Either way welcome to the DP.

Your going to get told very early here to fill out your signature (see User CP, above, second from the top right). There is lots of information on the new member sticky on the top of the 6.5 sections, but it seems like you have been into that section already.

And if you get around to it, we'd all like to see pics of your truck!

Hello again to All;

Here are some pics of my "new-to-me" 1994 K3500 Crewcab that I picked up for $2000 bucks! By the way, I am in the market for a good used left rear fender and a good 5068 pump... :D
