All rebuilt transfer case get new seals, bearings, chains, fork pad, encoder motors and viscous couplers. While the PMD/FSD is certainly the 6.5 diesel's Achilles heal, concerns are easily remedied thanks to response from the aftermarket.Rebuilt remanufactured replacement transfer cases with 12 month, unliminted mileage warranties are available for the following vehicles: Chevrolet/GM, Dodge, Ford, Jeep & Import.
#EARLY 6.0 CHEVROLET TRANSMISSION BOLTUP INSTALL#
It is extremely common for owners to mount the driver in a remote location and/or install an aftermarket heat sink to a relocated PMD to keep it from overheating. Most hard start, no start, and engine stalling concerns are attributed to a failed or failing PMD.
While energized, the PMD generates an intense amount of heat, which does not properly dissipate (do to its location) and ultimately leads to the module's demise. The PMD's fatal flaw is its location on the driver side of the injection pump, which sits in the engine valley. It is also often referred to as the FSD, or Fuel Solenoid Driver. The PMD, or Pump Mounted Driver is an electronic module affixed to the side of the injection pump that controls the fuel solenoid. PMD failures are arguably the most commonly experienced problem with the 6.5L diesel. Preferred viscosity within temperature range unless ambient temperature is consistently hot. Not preferred in cooler temperatures, use 15W-40.

Overheating issues are also common, and have been known to lead to cracked cylinder heads amongst other failures. Common 6.5L problems include cracks propagating in the main caps and crankshaft failures from aging/fatigue of the harmonic balancer. Additionally, turbocharged and naturally aspirated versions were made available. A special "Fuel Miser" 6.5L surfaced in Chevrolet's P trucks (delivery trucks), for example. A variety of applications used the 6.5L, and as such several versions were produced. The 6.5L Detroit diesel maintained the fuel efficient image that was used to market its predecessor. * Always check oil level after refilling crankcase.
