Mark 8262

Residential and Commercial Pressure Washing Specia
I bought a 98 step van with 6.5 diesel with 87K miles. Starts up and runs great and will run all day,
BUT if you turn it off it will not start back up for about 1-2 hours. If you re-start it immediately it will fire right back up and run all day. If you turn it off and let it sit for a minute it will not start for 1-2 hours.........any ideas?
 
No clue here either. I had a K3500 with a 6.5 in it. Running down the road, she'd just shut off. Throw it in neutral, and start it right back up, and go on down the road.
 
The first problem is that you bought a Chevy lol. Oh wait I guess I have no room to talk right now since my truck is going to be at the dealer for over a week.

I would try searching the Diesel and Chevy Truck forums. It's most likely not the first time it's happened. I would just let it idle at stops for now though if I were you until you can figure out what's causing the problem.
 
Hey Mark...see my profile name? hahaha. The 6.5 is an awesome engine but it has it's little issues. Where is the PMD located? Has the fuel filter been changed recently?

Hi Gerald, Not sure when the last time the fuel filter was changed. I just bought this 3-4 weeks ago. Don't know what the PMD is so needless to say I don't know where it's at. Never had a diesel before and I am a mechanical moron. That's not a real good combination. Any insight would be appreciated....thanks
