I am the original owner of a 1995 chevrolet ck2500 4 x 4 truck with the 6.5 liter diesel engine. due to lift pump failure, the truck dies with no warning. the lift pump has been replaced 3 times (currently at repair shop for this again). the dealer has replaced it with a new lift pump supposedly each time, but i was not shown or given the old lift pump. there is a major safety factor involved with this part failure/design. the truck has died 2 out of 3 times in heavy traffic. the '95 chevy truck is used to pull a horse trailer. i am to the point i am afraid to pull the horse trailer loaded with our horses with this chevy truck. i can only imagine what could happen when you have a trailer behind this truck when the lift pump starts going out and you try to steer without power steering or power brakes, because the truck has quit. i found a gm technical service bulletin #77-63-06ab on the internet in regards to a fix for this. this article also states the potential danger of this failure such as pulling into heavy traffic or descending a steep hill and losing the use of power steering and power brakes. *jb | |||

I have had nothing but problems with my 1995 chevrolet c-2500 pickup with the 6.5 turbo diesel engine. there is a major design flaw with the pump mounted driver and injection pump. the pump mounted driver is mounted tom the injection pump and the heat from both the pump and engine is destroying the driver. when the driver fails the engine will quit at any speed and you have complete loss of brakes,power steering, was pulling a trailer last time my pump driver failed and luckily was not going up or down a hill because i had to use the electronic trailer brakes to stop my truck injection pump is also a known issue with these engines and the replacement is over 1200 dollars. gm extended the war for these two parts to 11 years or 120k. unfortunately almost all of the trucks were past the war period due to millage.these are diesel trucks and rack up a lot of miles.my truck is a 1995 but is over the mileage limit.gm needs to extend the millage part of the warr to help owners keep their cars on the road, and not have to pay for gm's design flaw.i have spent close to 3000 just by replacing these two parts several times.there are several message board for the 6.5l turbo diesel discussing this issue.( thedieselpage.com,dieselplace.com) many vendors have started to make kits that move the pump driver off the pump and out the engine valley to a location that has more airflow and include a heat sink to help keep the temps down.this driver is nothing more than 2 resistors but cost over $500.*ak | |||
