2011 6.5L Turbo Diesel Project
Déjà Vu
We owned a 1994 6.5TD Chevy Blazer more than 10 years ago. This was a fun and reliable vehicle, but we let it go too soon. Though it's gone through a couple of owners since, that very same Blazer has found its way home... The engine is currently in pieces, but that's a good thing. This will provide an opportunity to build an electronically fuel-injected 6.5L in a direction we haven't explored before. This will also provide you with an opportunity to participate in designing the Project - engine build direction, end goals, and so on... Should be fun, and it'll provide answers to questions that haven't been covered before.
Diesel Fuel Quality
Solving Contamination Problems
A $4500 out-of-warranty Duramax injector replacement bill usually gets people thinking about fuel quality and its direct correlation to injector life. What we'll do here is discuss what we as diesel owners need to be aware of when buying fuel and learn how to deal with most fuel quality problems. Whether water, gasoline, sediment, or biological contamination - solving a fuel contamination problem is never any fun, but knowing with certainty what to do if it happens will provide a sense of security. Print this page and keep it in your truck's glovebox. You never know...
