My 6.5 doesnt start i replaced the lift pump and got the air out of the line next will be changing the PMD! Thanks for the info very motivated after watching this inspiring video keep up the good work bud!👍🏼🇺🇸
How’d it go
Many times on northern trucks the fuel line on top of the tank (sending unit) will rot out and pull air. I had to replace the tank, fuel supply/return lines and so on.
I've never checked, that's another great place to look for a problem!
@@andrewbeveridge3006 Yup, had to do mine. I replaced the Tank, sending unit and ALL the lines. You will be shocked when you take it all apart.
You sir are a beast. A video thats straight to the point
Great video. I’m not getting fuel to the new lift pump. When I cracked the old pump, not much dropped from tank side line.. is my sender clogged?
There is no sender in the tank. It is just a float gauge. You might try blowing air from the line at the lift pump back or just drop the tank if you think the pickup tube is clogged.
Why wouldn't you just lower the Fuel tank down instead of cutting a hole in the bed?

The biggest issue was the engine oil psi switch in the valley.
Thanks for the tip!
I've heard that's only an issue on the older 6.5s. But I'm going to swap mine anyway. I think the optical sensor on the injection pump is causing my issues though.
It could also be a ground issue on the oil psi switch circuit. Check all the ground and powers/ load test the wires with a sealed beam headlight to see if the wires are pushing the load through. If you have voltage and it cranks over fast enough its either fuel or glowplugs. No heat in the cylinders and ots never going to fire up. Rx diesel glow plugs are the best in my opinion.
1:24 you point to a ground yet i didn't see a wire and I can't seem to find any ground on the intake. I've seen some pics towards the back right passenger side but mine (2003 P42 6.5 diesel) doesn't have one.
Gotcha. This is a 97 and there is a wire coming off the nut at 1:24. I think it goes to the battery but id have to look at the truck.
@@nicksnextproject535 Ok. Maybe I'll try following the wire from the battery up to the engine then. The batteries are under the steps into the van.
I was curious how did you test the fuses? Did you just take them out and do a visual inspection or use a tool?
just visual yes
Why on this flat earth does nobody disconnect the chime bell from these trucks????
In dealerships we obviously weren’t allowed.
In fleet they are a good thing, but we clipped the wire and added a small tucked away toggle switch- haha.
You can guess where mine go. Haha
Should u leave that little air cap thing on the fuel filter loose or tight after u let the air out? I changed the filter and then noticed it was leaking so I tightened the little air cap or whatever that thing is called
that cap is only loosened when you are bleeding air and should be tight
I have a 04 hummer and can not locate a relay for pump ! Fuses are all good ! No start . Pmd was relocated ,
Is there a way to know for sure if the l.p. Is bad ?
I think I would check the fuel pressure at the fuel bleeder which on mine is located on top of the radiator with a 1/4 male connector. You could put a pressure gauge on it and jump the lift pump. Not sure if your wiring is the same regarding how I jumped the pump to test it in the video.
which pump are you always refering to the lift or the injector pumps
If it was me, I would check for air in the fuel filter housing by running the lift pump.
@@nicksnextproject535
no air all good.But was wondering about the fuses and relay's you where pulling. where they for the lift pump or the pmd fuses.
@@cdm1012 I would check all the fuses. There was a relay that I pull out to jump the lift pump and I have ran the truck with that relay removed and the lift pump jumpered so I dont think that relay runs the PMD. That fuel relay and the PMD are both pretty cheap parts to replace before taking it to a mechanic. Again I would look at all fuses under the hood and in the driver side dash panel.
@@nicksnextproject535
thanks fuses all good replacing the PMD as when removed looks like she got a little warm crispy lol.
So nick when replacing the filter do u have to put fuel in the filter hole
I lost alot of fuel taking it out n putting it back in..I change everything u said n still fuel coming up wen trying to bleed it
I used the jumper wire to bleed mine after changing the filter. If your pump comes on with the key, that might also work rather than the jumper wire. On this model year in the video, I dont believe the lift pump comes on with the key.
It don’t turn on wen I turn the key…how do u use the jumper wire
@@popcornacipco974 Its shown in this video if your truck is the same as mine. There are also other videos here on youtube from other creators showing it.
Could you help me get my truck running
If I was your neighbor I would try. From here, I can suggest taking it to a mechanic which I figure thats not what you want to hear. One good test is to check if any air bubbles are coming into the fuel filter housing.
Ohh man mine is a mess 🤦♂️
A few hundred bucks goes a long ways on these trucks. I just picked up a fuel pressure gauge for $20 which is a good place to start.

@@nicksnextproject535 that’s true, this is first thing to go wrong since I’ve owned it
