    6.5L engine cranks but won't start, after being degreased and power washed.

    I degreased and power washed the engine bay of my truck at a garage, and after doing so, I headed back home. It did shut down on me once as I was driving, but started back up again smoothly. I headed back home without any incidents occurring. At home, I parked on an upright hill, I turned off...

    Large leak under engine. 6.5L

    I discovered a massive leak, which I believe can be either diesel fuel or power steering fluid. Recently my truck has been making some weird whining noises once in a while when I steer hard to the right, and can get louder as the engine revs up. This what makes me believe it's power steering...

    Radio and Interior Lights no longer working properly

    So basically what started off as a small issue has now become something out of hand. I have a two door 96 K3500 with the stock radio, the original issue was that every time I opened the driver side door while I had the radio on, the radio would out of a sudden go up to 100% volume and then fade...

    Bad A/C compressor?

    Alrighty I'm back. After replacing the condenser, accumulator, and orifice tube on my 2-door truck, I finally got my A/c to work... I think. The highest today only got to 61F so I really can't tell if my A/C is working properly but my gauges says both my low and high pressure lines are about 90...

    How to replace an A/C condenser on a 6.5L diesel?

    Hello, so I unfortunately kinked open the low pressure line coming out of my A/C condenser and now I need to replace it. I have a general idea on how to remove the grill and some other parts but what about these two small radiators on each side of the grill? The video below video helps me a lot...

    A/C compressor turns on and off?

    I don't know whether the previous owner had the AC working but when I went to add a half can of refrigerant, the compressor would kick on and off every 2 seconds. In addition to that, when I removed the hose from the low pressure port, you can hear an audible hiss coming from the port leaking...

    Interior lighting issue?

    I have a 1996 Chevy 3500 and I changed all the door switches and light bulbs to led. The lights work as they are supposed to but the one issue is that when they are "off", they are on in a dim state. I replaced both door switches. Only the lights on the doors are dimly lit, the rest not too...

    What are symptoms of a bad harmonic balancer?

    Curious, since I just bought a 6.5L 3500 of the 96 model year and harmonic balancers seem too kill these engines. How does one tell if the harmonic balancer is bad without having to take stuff apart? Am providing a video of the engine running during shutdown, as I read somewhere that a "thump"...

    Dome light and courtesy light issue

    I know there are other related posts to this but honestly I'm just too dumb to understand electrical schematics and stuff like that, so my issue here is that both my courtesy lights and dome lights stay on even after I shut my doors. I just replaced them both, as both were burnt and supposedly...
