I bought a 2000 k3500 crew cab with the 6.5 , been slowly getting her going! Love the truck man takes me back to a better time

I can only Imagine how sick it was seeing these sitting new at the dealer. If I had the chance to go back in time I would visit the US and go to a Chevy Dealer to get one as a 6.5

Take off the belt and see if it spins easier...the vacuum pumps on these are known to lock up on units that set too long.

That’s one of the best trucks ever dude sad to see someone left it to rot like that

Badass man! That nest was freakin nuts!

I've got a soft spot for the gmt400 trucks. I had a 6.5 for awhile and it was a pretty good truck.

I have same truck big three upgrade and pull the starter out, take it apart it’s super simple and wire wheel clean it up shoot it with some dialectic grease and install it back up. There good starters

I’m one of the few that like the 6.5 diesel. I had a 1999 gmc dually with it and it never let me down. I pulled a big Case backhoe with it once and wish it had more power though lol. But for pulling a mid size farm tractor around it was fine. I bought a 2002 2500 with the Duramax new and realized how underpowered it was by comparison lol. Still have the Dmax. Wish I still had the dually too.

absolutely love my 6.5. been a damn good truck

I don't know how much you paid for the Pickup but if I had it I would try to get it running because pickups are an excellent way to haul things and you would have a backup if your other one goes down so you would always have a pickup whenever you needed a pickup.

Hope, Arkansas?? That's right down the road from me, that's awesome😂

Give it some Cosby juice and feed her the onions!

Love these trucks

Since you’re dang near local, I would like to see the old girl run and maybe on the road. But some of that wiring looks gnarly.

Drop the tank and clean it new fuel filter and you should be good to fire up also make sure the starter bracket is on

Mine sat for 12 years in a farmers field runs like a top drive it everyday

I got a 99 mid bus and I'm just knowing figuring out that the parts for the 6.5l are basically obsolete I'm getting my turbo plenum seals and upper intake seals finished and selling mine lol I've owned several of the trucks but my first 6.5L and I'm running lol

Lol, headliner looks good

Get it running

this is one of those power-washing this would be very satisfying tree stuff is flying.. funny as bear on vodka to see those gauges go absolutely nuts

Yeah I'd like to see if you get it to at least run. It'll be motivation for my current project which does run, a 1988 Ford F250 7.3 IDI diesel.

Please keep going.

Green wires are for cold start advance and fuel shutoff, also possibly the gauges

I got truck same way is that one Do you fixed?? Or do you found the issue??

I used to own a 6 lug extended cab 2500. 5 speed 4x4 with the 5.7, wish I never sold that truck to be honest.

If the title says 98 that’s probably not to that truck because that truck has the older interior looks like it’s a 94

Greetings: 14 bolt 'Exploding locker'.

I’d love to see it run.

You should lubricant cylinder before turn the engine park so long Spray some WD-40 or any lubrication to sew the top of cylinders

Yes fix it make it run n drive clean it up maybe a full paint job or a rattle can paint job

Yeah it will start

this was painful lol….one battery hooked up…”let me spray some wd-40 on the starter” 🤦🏻

Not a 98. That dash was used until 94/5. Love the obs trucks. Good luck

I like the oil pressure gauge doing a hootinanny dance,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

Did you say hope Arkansas 😂 that’s not far from me

I grew up on these trucks. My dad owned a 95 Chevy 2500 with the 6.5 Detroit. We used it haul trash and brush from houses we fixed up.

I would like to see it run and also have it cleaned power washed

With it sitting so long and getting rusted check all the grounds you could get a voltage drop through that

I'm going out on a limb in saying this, but it sounds almost like the engine has absolutely no compression to it whatsoever. The starter is missing its rhythm even with the new battery. Sure, it had a higher pitch to it. But the turning ratio sounded the same. I could be wrong though. For all we know, maybe the starter just has a burnt pinion gear on it or the bendix no longer functions the way it should.

Yes

How’s the headliner still in good condition then the seat looks that bad

So how much did you pay for this jem?

It would be a good truck to work o if you have spare time

That RAM not deleted? Getting kind of low mpg for what it is

That truck is not a 1998...that truck is around a 1988 to 1995..from the looks of the dash board...and mirrors....wrong title

she will kick and start

How do people just abandon their vehicles like that lol

yes

Voltage low cause u got to wait till the GP's are done cycling

I don't know man these things barley ran right when new. I knew someone with one had about 250 k miles but on it's 3rd motor. They will pull things but they move the same speed empty or with a load. The 6.5 had nothing on the Cummins or power strokes of the time.

Garage Now

Btw theyre HARD starts 21 to 1 ratio

Oh god the temperature is at 4000 rpm

A 6.5 Diesel is hard to come by these days honestly.

snaped crank,, shes fikd....

If title says 98 I'd check vin because 94 95 last of that interior that's I believe 92-94 interior

that truck is not a 1998 . that's the wrong title

Mine sat for 10 years and fired up the 3rd try

Drives me nuts (not really I understand lol) when old dudes can’t remember years for shit lol like how long ago did you buy this? Ohhh 10 years ago. But wait it’s been sitting since 06? Yeap. Lololol whatever it’s been sitting lolol

I see all the good comments about the 6.5s but my experience wasn’t such as good. I would never own one again worst diesel of all time.

Love the truck and the content but holy crap I think I'm sick from watching that video. Use a tripod or something, yikes.

GMC And Max And Monty And Bulgy

I feel dumb for watching this vid.

You should fix it

I'm pretty sure if you replace the battery with a new one it will start just fine. Clearly this guy does not know what he's doing. Because he keeps doing the same thing over and over. If the battery worse and it won't start the motor even with jump boxes on more than likely that battery is complete shit my advice is to change the battery changed oil put new oil and put a new battery in And check the starter teeth. If the starter teeth are fine then you're fine then it should work

Christ can you zoom out ? God this video almost made me seasick

It didn't even fully start that's technically not even turning over. That's basically only spinning the motor for it really to turn over you would have to have the motor running and it starting. That's not even running. Also my guy you don't have battery also, you got a let the glow plugs warm up first. So basically, the GMC is a total loss cost. It is dirty disgusting and the motor looks like shit.

only evil ppl treat these trucks like thid

Включіть субтитри.

Gay 6.5 turbo diesel. Man GMC really needs to get with the program. Even Ford had better turbo diesel's back then they had the 7.3. Bigger and better than GMC still Ford is still doing better than GMC.

Sorry it’s not worth it

No the starter's not dragging put two batteries on There and quit the jump box bull s***

Most boring video about that theme
