First off let me thank everyone for so much valuable information. This is my first post although I believe I have come close to reading nearly every other thread on the site to gain as much info as possible.
I have a 1995 K3500 6.5L TD. It has 220,000 miles on it with it's second engine, the first being replaced under warranty at 98,000. I have run into what seems to be a major problem. The engine shut down on me the last time I drove it and doesn't turn over using the starter. I have pulled the serpentine belt and attempted to turn it over by putting a socket on the crank pulley with no luck. Anyone have other suggestions before I drop the oil pan to see if I find the problem?
If a replacement engine is necessary I'm considering going with www.dieselfixer.com (Tom Sanders). He sells a .040" over 6.2L block with 6.5L heads, a 6.35L he said. Anyone have experience with him?
I already have a reman. gas 427 Medium Duty truck engine setting in my garage in a crate that was intended for a different project and I don't think I would like to convert this truck to gas because of the hassle of making things work properly. So I'm considering selling that 427 to recoupe some of the cost of the reman. 6.35L. Any suggestions on this?
This is my first attempt at doing any major work on this truck and I really appreciate any info shared. Thanks Again, Brandon
