Video description should read "what happens when the glow plug system isn't fully functional on a 6.5 diesel." Both my 6.2 and my 6.5 start much better and with tons less smoke than the one in this video.
You've definitely got a few out glowplugs or perhaps worn out injectors.
funnily enough diesel particulates are better for the environment that the chemicals petrol cars chuck out.... its just the particulates are much worse for us.
@6detroitdiesel5 no, the 6.5 was introduced in the 92 model year(mid 1991) to replace the aging 6.2, it is a very similar motor to the 6.2. 6.5s could be gotten without turbos, altho they are exceedingly rare. all 6.5s came only with either the 4L80E or NV4500. longevity wise, the 92 and 93 are the best, the rotary PMD does not have the same heat related problems that the electronic one, and that increases the Injection Pumps life exponentially.
thats a nice start for something that has that many miles on it. them 6.5's are a detroit diesel and a really good engine if you take care of them. i have a 2000 chev 3500HD tow truck i drive that we just put a new engine in and the other night i got an unexpected call for to tow someone out of a snow drift and it -28C with the windchill and i let the glow plugs cycle and started right up and ran beautiful with no smoke at all. and mine wasnt plugged in at all either
i got a 95 GMC 1500 4x4 with a 6.5TD with 3 inch straight pipe an it lopes louder.....you should see the body shake on mine when its loping it looks like its doin a torque twist lol.....an the smoke is insaine lol......my wastegate is wired shut so i got boost all time......is yours closed ??? it doesn't sound like it cause it dont whistle loud
@urdadddy1 hahahaha ford is not better than chevy a chevy can easily outlast a ford and whats this cold start video a ford or chev? im not familer with the 6.5 lieter diesel engines
@kawirider206 the 6.5 has about 143 hp (107 kW) @ 3,600 rpm / 257 lb·ft (348 N·m) @ 2,000 rpm. the 12 valve cummins had 160 - 215 HP @ 2,500 RPM
*Torque:
400 - 440 lb-ft @ 1,600 RPM, and the 6.9 powerstroke had 170 hp (130 kW)315 lb·ft (427 N·m) . However, the 6.5 is by no means a "piece of shit". My friends diesel starts better than a plugged in cummins on a sub- zero day- and he doesn't ever plug his in.
@fordbadazz you might be right, but it more than likely took twice as much money to build that 460 up as it would to get a chevy 454 to the same, if not more, horsepower and torque. Chevy engines are designed much better in my opinion, in the fact that they are cheaper, run better, and parts are VERY interchangeable. Why do you think that most Nascar engines are a chevy 355? wierd coincidence, right?
@ bizzerk94 and EMT308, the 6.5 diesel is a GM motor, where Ford has the International Navistar (or PowerStroke) and Dodge has Cummins, GM ran their own diesel motor (and design) till 1998 or 1999 (I'm not sure on the year they switched to using the DuraMax)
@Fallraptor the 6.9 was a true ford pos, the 5.7 diesel was a true chevy pos, and the dodge diesel from pre 89 (liter?) was a true dodge pos. then ford teamed up with international to create the 7.3 liter navistar engine in 88, chevy with detroit to create the 6.2 in 82? and the 6.5 in 93. and dodge teamed up with cummins in 9 to make the 6bt 5.9 liter.
@Fallraptor you're forgetting that not all ford diesels were PSD's the 83-87 were 6.9L and the 87- 93 were the N/A 7.3's then for a short period of time they had a factory turbo IDI 7.3L which has been voted many times the best diesel engine ever made. now that i've said that some douche with a hard on for cummins is going to come out of the wood work and say " fuck you, cummins is the best" well prove it. theres a reason the f-250 is the best selling truck 33 years running. so eat me
Lariat or Cummings? Lariat is a Ford trim level, Ford uses International Navistar engines and they call it a Powerstroke diesel. Perhaps you meant Cummins? That's a Dodge engine as far as pick ups are concerned. You can find a lot of Cummins engines in big over the road trucks. GM built it's own diesel engines.
I have a 6.5 non turbo that I never even thought about plugging in unless I knew that it was going near 0 F. I am in the middle of finding a new truck to put it in since the old 86 Blazer I had it in rusted out on me. Knock on wood, never had a major problem. Couldn't keep a 700R4 trans behind it though, LOL. Man it ate torque converters for breakfast.
man how cold was it that day and when was the last time that you started it? mine is also straight piped and i love that sound, havent had mine more than about 4 months so i am curious to see how it will perform in the winter.
it was around -25 c*, but after it warmed up it was an awsome truck.. i put a 35 foot fifth wheel behind it and it pulled it without a problem. even with the problems it had !!! and also got 32 mpg no bullshit !!!
Wow cool thats pretty cold. I just picked myself up a winter truck, its a 95' 1500 z71 with the 6.5 I am pretty excited for the roads to get snowy. It wont be a daily driver but seeing that yours started this cold is impressive
NICE! what an awesome sight and sound! shame engines here in the UK are so small and puny. I have a 2.3litre Volvo and most consider that a BIG engine! Would kill for one that displaces over one litre per cylinder though! good going!
If you would have cycled the glow plugs about three times it would have started even better. At least it started, if it were a FORD you'd still be cranking and on your 10th set of batteries.
Is this truck still running? Because that video posted 11 months ago was of a sick 6.5 turbo diesel. Bad glow plugs for sure (I'll bet only 1 or 2 out of the 8 are working), and one or two cylinders aren't firing either, which could be a bad injector, bad injector pump, or stuck valve.
its for the block heater, a small heater that goes in ur oil pan so when its super cold out its not so hard on the engine to start it cause ur oil is already warm...
where do you live cause some vehicals didnt come with one... but if it does have one there will be a exstention cord looking deal that goes to the engine somewhere around the grill
Thats a sick old 6.5 you have there. Mine starts right up no matter how cold and she is never plugged in. I would check your injectors sounds like she is not firing right.
you have a injector stuck open on the right side of the engine thats why you here that knock and only smoke from the pipe coming from the right side i bet the knock goes away when you open it up
i wasn't asking you, i was asking drnegolics... how would you know it's on the right side of the engine when it's a single exhaust...... if it was true dualls and the right exhaust was smokin, you would know its from the ride side of the engine.....
Just guessing...During cold start most diesels advance injector timing..It sounds as if yours isn't...You may need to replace a temperature sensor. I'd ask a GM mechanic to be sure {probably cheaper than injectors and pump}
i know a guy whos truck does that weather you plug it in or not. its been tuned way up and for the first 2-2.5 minutes it blows blue-ish smoke but its not oil its just over fueling hard core lol
stick a red hot poker in a bucket of diesel, all you get is bluish white smoke, its just cold diesel and air combusting, completely normal, now if it was warm out and it was still doing that, it would be concerned.
That thing shakes around like a brick in a washing machine! Beautiful truck!

Wow. When you first started it, it was shaking like a heroin addict going through withdrawls, and it is a 1-ton. Must shake in the cab too.

Just guessing...During cold start most diesels advance injector timing..It sounds as if yours isn't...You may need to replace a temperature sensor. I'd ask a GM mechanic to be sure {probably cheaper than injectors and pump}

Well the truck has 398,000km's on it and the only thing i have changed is the rad so im sure everything is in need of repair.....

i know a guy whos truck does that weather you plug it in or not. its been tuned way up and for the first 2-2.5 minutes it blows blue-ish smoke but its not oil its just over fueling hard core lol

blue smoke is bad i hope you know that....no smoke at all is the best, but who wants taht???

he doesent burn a drop of oil, its because theres so much fuel getting put into the cylinder
TBWdracula2003 3 years ago
well thats all fine and dandy but its still not a good thing in the least bit, just my addition to the convo

blue smoke means it has an injector problem...

ya, id just say its cold out, lol.
stick a red hot poker in a bucket of diesel, all you get is bluish white smoke, its just cold diesel and air combusting, completely normal, now if it was warm out and it was still doing that, it would be concerned.

do you have a automatic or manual cold start mechanism on this. Judging by year it's probably auto. Sounds good.
