    Flywheel inspection

    Is there a way to remove the flywheel cover without removing anything else like the drive shaft or the crossover exhaust? It's a 6.5 na that has I believe the two piece cover. It has the separate part that removes to expose the starter bendix gear. I have a ticking that seems to be coming...

    Weird electrical problem

    Grounds and batteries clean, good, and tight. Batteries at 25.5volts. 1987 6.5 na that went to Maine in 2006 for rebuild. I replaced the 60 amp with a 200 about 2 months ago and everything's fine. Today I went to start and the light blinked once and then no power. None at all when I turn the...

    Castrol Transmax Dex/Merc the same as Dexron III?

    I looked for Dexron III in the auto store today and couldn't find it. The sales guy told me the Castrol Transmax Dex/Merc was the same as Dexron III and was safe to use. Has anyone used this or know if this is safe to use? I'm changing fluids tomorrow while waiting for my starter to be rebuilt...

    Engine cranks but whirs right before kicking over

    Hello everyone. As the title states, the engine cranks but right as it seems to kick over it stops cranking and makes a whirring sound and won't start. It is an 87 with a 6.5 that seems to have been rebuilt at limestone, Maine in '06. I've checked fuel filter, replaced glow plugs, cleaned all...
