12/29/2008 - Robert C FSD Heat-Sync
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I just want to let you guys know what an awesome product you have.
I bought a 95 Chevy Cheyanne k2500 extended-cab from a friend for $1000.00.
He had a relative/mechanic replace fuel lines, fuel injector pumps, etc, etc. But it still would not run right.
I had the same problems and was at my wits end, then I found your web-site. I ordered the part, installed it in 10 minutes, and have been driving the truck for a solid 4 days.
IT RUNS LIKE A NEW TRUCK!!! I already have my wish list of SSDiesel Supply parts and will start ordering a part a pay check!! Thanks, YOU GUYS ROCK!! Long Live The 6.5 |

12/23/2008 - Edward N Filter housing cover
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I just recieved the filter housing cover and it fixed my problem. I have a 97 ambulance converted into an awsome camper and the housing cover was the old style being a solid cap with a filter element. It's a good bet that it was never changed! I couldn't get the original element any more so I was stuck. Walt never even heard of my type of filter. The new filter with the new cap worked just fine. Also got the air kit and hot glow plugs. All great products. Ready to go camping now. Off to Alaska. |

12/10/2008 - Jacob FSD Heat Sync
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I had taken my truck in last winter to GM for a full fuel system overhaul, a few thousand miles after buying the truck. Long story short, during the following several months (winter no less), I drove 9,000miles (highway) and the FSD failed another 8 times, each time GM tried coming up with different excuses. Finally got fed up, and took it straight from the dealer to a local shop, had the heat sync installed, and have been problem free!
*currently on the site to buy an exhaust as the stock one rusted out* |

11/01/2008 - Tom Pump, PMD, Marine Injectors
Rating: 5 of 5 stars SSDieselSupply is awesome, I'd have gotten rid of this truck if it wasn't for them. Walt has been very helpful and accomodating. My truck used to provide me a smoke screen for get aways, or at least anoying tailgaters, then it stopped running all together. Now it runs great, and no smoke at all. 94 GMC C1500 83K miles in awesome condition with all the HD cooling. Had Banks chip when I bought it but now thinking about the Fuel Miser from SSDieselSupply. |

Rating: 5 of 5 stars Hurricane Ike left my brand new uninstalled parts under 4 feet of saltwater.

Rating: 5 of 5 stars I love that 4" CAT back system for the hummer! Great sound without being to loud. You can really hear the turbo whine now. Very easy to install, took all of about 15 minutes once I had my old stuff off. Great job SS! |

10/22/2008 - Phil P PMD.FSD relocation kit
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I just purchased a 1998 GMC Sierra 2500 SLT extended cab 8ft bed 4wd from craigslist. The guy stated it wasn't running because it needed a MAP sensor.
The guy wanted $500. I gave himn $400.
I took Walt's PMD off my other truck and installed it on the new truck. The truck started on the first try.
The guy had a homemade PMD relocator on the truck which obviously failed. His mechanic had obviously hosed him down pretty good. Anyway I have a new diesel, which after brakes and wheel seals is in better shape then my present truck. The guy is now off to buying a gas truck. Thank god for Walt and this product. |

10/16/2008 - MIKE Q heatsink and 8" cable, 9 ohm resistor
Rating: 5 of 5 stars Hi Everyone,
First I would like to thank Walt for going into this business. My mechanic didn't have a clue on my fsd/pmd problem. And the dealers were useless too. It was and has been intermittent for the last 2 years. I replaced a fuel pump, fuel shutoff solenoid, fuel relay, inspected the entire electrical harness, checked grounds, and said close to 5oo curse words in the past couple of years! I refused to give up with this truck...I love it ! it's paid for....when it runs , it runs fine...So I read all the info about fsd problems and symptoms, and decided to give it a try....with a certain amount of confidence...told my mechanic to get me a new fsd and I will do the rest.I ordered a heatsink and extension cable from SS Diesel, it came in a timely manner, was easy to install, and now my 96 GMC 2500 runs better than it ever has.I would also like to thank Annette for her help and assistance with my order. She is GREAT. Thank You SWEETIE.I will be ordering more parts in the future. |

10/14/2008 - Richard D heat sync
Rating: 5 of 5 stars i ordered the heat sync because my truck was hard to start hot. i got the heat sync and found i was an unlucky one for the .1% needing the extension wire so i ordered that and by that time my truck getting fairly bad. once i installed the heat sync and wire it's all better thank you |

09/27/2008 - David S Power Package 1 and Cooling system/fan combo
Rating: 5 of 5 stars The best this engine has run more power and torque.The exhaust sounds good also. If you want to wake up your 6.5 I would highly recommend this power package. Lower cooling temp no fan noise. |

09/05/2008 - Andrew R FSD Heat-Sync
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I was having problems with my 6.5 surging, then stalling, and finally dying altogether. I replaced the fuel tank, sending unit, in-line pump, fuel filter, and the relay in the fuse box. The truck is a 98 so it needed those replacements anyway, but none of them fixed the problem. I read your web-site and my symptoms matched your FSD product discription perfectly. I ordered the FSD Heat-Sync Wednesday and the part was waiting for me when I got home from work on Friday. I am no mechanic and fairly new to Diesels and had no idea where the PMD was so it took me a little longer to install, but I followed the directions, and everything went together perfectly. My truck sounds better than it ever did and I plan on buying many more products from SSDiesel Supply as well as displaying the bumper sticker I received proudly on my Chevy K2500 Silvarado... Thanks! |

08/27/2008 - Derek M air induction kit

08/20/2008 - Nick W SSD-707 Induction Kit
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I must say this is the best source for 6.5 TD products and info. I just put the air induction kit in my 6.5 Suburban and I love the sound of that turbo(the added power is nice too). I'll be ordering my new Driver Module from SS Diesel very soon! |

08/19/2008 - Jim B Cylinder heads, cooling upgrade, 4"exhaust, Full Guages, Marine Injectors
Rating: 5 of 5 stars Recently had to do some work to my 94 Blazer. I replaced bothe cylinder heads with yours. Much better product than stock! My poor old truck had 2 blown head gaskets and 6 cracked chambers, not sure why it ran so good but it was nothing compared to now! Awesome products and great service! By the way I was getting 16 mpg around town before the repairs and am now in the process of trying to keep my foot out of it to see what kind of mpgs she'll do now. Oh in case your wondering with a little cut and weld the truck exhaust will fit the Blazer but lets just asy tha 4"s is as big as will go!!!! Love the sound though!!! Will send some pics as soon as I can. |

06/29/2008 - John A ssd-020
Rating: 5 of 5 stars Thanks greatly for the pmd/fsd module. I installed it with the #9 resistor on your heat sink. the person before installed your fsd heat sink kit but neglected to keep it torqued properly causing premature failure. My truck runs so much better. the idle quality has improved greatly. no more chugging on hard acceleration or stalling or check engine light. its like a totally different truck. and when i filled up today i calcuated mpg and it increased 2 mpg! And that makes me a VERY happy customer who will buy the power package for my truck now. |

05/21/2008 - Baldree ssd heat sync kit
Rating: 5 of 5 stars The nay sayers were prompting me to scrap my '94 6.5. I actually quit driving it because I did not know when I would be left walking. I knew I had to fix it to sell it. After installing the kit I have no intention of putting it up for sale.Thank you for your products and help. |

05/13/2008 - Jeremy A fsd heat sync #9 resister
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I was having trouble with my truck bucking and poor fuel milage,even after a factory (warranty) installed injection pump. Walt told me what to try and asked if the truck was doing other things wich he was right. After the fsd,#9 resister,vac,turbo and egr solenoid and marine injecters. My truck went from 12mpg to 19.5mpg pulling a boat and quad on the back. My wife even noticed the turbo spooling and I never told her about the repairs before hand.
Walt is awsome to deal with and has a vast knowlage of the 6.5 diesel.
Thanks for your advice,I am going to purchase the 80 hp chip next and can't wait.
Cuctomer for life

04/29/2008 - Josh C cooling upgrades
Rating: 5 of 5 stars About 2 months ago I found SS Diesel Supply. I was hauling a three horse trailer, empty and the truck would over heat on the slightest incline. After emailing Walt, I installed the HO water pump, Duramax Fan upgrade, and the 180 degree t-stats, I also found the the radiator was toast. (which was the only thing i didn't buy from walt, due to time constrants.) I have since then pulled that same trailer up a 6 mile 6% grade and kept with the flow of traffic, I even had to hit the brakes a couple of times. This was my first purchase for my 97 C2500, but it won't be the last. SS Diesel has restored my faithin the 6.5 as a durable working diesel engine. Thank You guys |

04/28/2008 - edison FSD/PMD
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I have only owned my 97 3/4 k truck for about 4 months. The day i bought it i went about 15 miles and it died, started and died. Never owning or even touching a diesel before in my life i was confused. After 3 shops and several friends i found your site and decided it was the pmd. My current boss had a used one and i bolted it on exactly how the old one was (I will send pics when i can, u will not believe) with no heat sync or anything. The stalling stoped, but it was only 30 degrees now as well. Had a rough idle but just though it was natural. When the weather turn to 60 degrees it began stalling and jerking again, I finally broke down and bought your kit. It showed up today, took me longer to get the old junk off then bolt the new one on. Started the truck and took of hoping it would not stall. First stop light i noticed the truck was smooth. The not month old tires smoked when i mashed down on the gas. It was a new truck, new motor. I fell in love with the truck all over again. 2 months ago I hauled some scrap. the entire load was at 21,000 lbs giving me 11,000 lbs of scrap. Truck did ok, but now i can't wait to see how it does now. Can't wait till the #9 resistor kicks in. I also have a cold air intake from AFE (before i found u guys, trust me i paid way to much)and a 3 in straight pipe from a sissy stroke, (the only good part i found from a ford..lol tail pipe hanger in the same location) now i know i like the sound i plan on upgrading to a 4" or a 4 into a 5". If she would black smoke i would maybe even put on a stack...lol...thanks..definetly be buying more upgrades.thanks a million |

03/29/2008 - george s ssd heat sync kit w/#9 resistor
Rating: 5 of 5 stars Had stalling problem.Took my 6.5 turbo to the local GMC dealer.Charged me $87 to tell me the injection pump was the culprit and it would cost me $3500 to replace it.I wasn't convinced & besides the truck wasn't worth but a little more than that.I researched on the web for the problem that I had & came across SSDeisel Supply.I didn't believe that the little box would solve the problem because there is so much junk out there that doesn't work.But, I've been taken before & I'll be taken again so I ordered the Fix from you and figured the worst is I'm out $375 and my education would be complete. Got the heat sync kit. Put it on.Lo and Behold, no more stalling!IT works!And my mpg increased 3 mpg.Went back to the local GMC dealer & got my $87 back after explaining that they did not live up to their part of the contract but SSdiesel Supply did.I would heartily recommend this company & their products .Thanks |

01/05/2008 - Phil P PMD relocation OPS
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I have the PMD relocation kit on three trucks now. They work flawlessly. Don't sell your truck all it needs is a PMD kit and it will run fine. Just ordered the 4inch exhaust, more to come when I get it on. I just bought a 98 GMC Sierra 4WD, the guy was selling it because it was stalling, hard starting etc, he had no idea what was wrong and said he didn't want to spring for an injector pump. A PMD kit later and it is my daily driver. I picked it up at a very nice price. Thanks again Walt. |

12/26/2007 - Kelly Power Performance Kit
Rating: 5 of 5 stars Ok Ok Ok I had my doubts but man today they have all been laid to rest. I got the 4” exhaust installed today. My suburban sounds awesome, like a locomotive, unbelievable power. I am used to merging on to the highway and struggling to get up to speed. After installing the Intake and the exhaust I merged onto the highway and looked down and I was doing 95, Fricking unbelievable. I can’t imagine how well it will run when I get the chip installed. More to come later …… Thanks Walt |

Rating: 5 of 5 stars I own a 2000 C3500 HD with a 6.5 Turbo and one day I lost a head gasket. SS Diesel sent me some great looking new heads along with a PMD cooler and some rapid heat glow plugs. After getting this motor back together I am very pleased. We bought it used with 25K on it and the motor has never started easier or run better. My dad/boss wanted us to get a GM motor and not even mess with it but thanks to you and your great products we saved a lot of money and I look like a genius. Thanks again!!! |

12/18/2007 - Todd J FSD kit, CDR, Air induction kit
Rating: 5 of 5 stars Walt and company delivered for Santa early this season, turning this idle (since spring) 94' Sub into a red roaring sled. The fsd kit was exactly as promised , honeymoon fit and all. Air induction lets this 6.5 whistle while she proudly launches, with no sputter, stutter nor stall. The tuna can desperatly needed replacing, only SS Diesel explaind that fix. Guys, there is more to come, that exhaust set up would look great under the tree, and better under this born again 94'sub-human. Thanks, even packing and delivery was flawless. 1st time customer, Todd |

Rating: 5 of 5 stars Hi I just wanted to say that your INSTANT-HEAT Glow Plugs you sell are the BOMB and I highly recommend them. I had hard starting on cool mornings 45-F degrees and had to plug in my truck for a hour or so. After pluging truck in I noticed truck would smoke on start up. Now that I installed your INSTANT HEAT glow plugs my truck fires up right away and no more smoke. I live in Buffalo and I'm glad I found your website. I have a 97 Chevy 2500 2-WD Pickup 4 speed with 203000 miles. I will recommend you to all my friends and definitely return for more parts. Thanks, Tim |

11/14/2007 - David H H Vacuum Pump
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I bought my 98 suburban off of ebay. Ran OK on way home to MN from NYC where I picked it up this summer. AC worked. A month later, it stopped on the way back to East Coast. Walt suggested I check the Vac pressure. It was at Zero. Checked lines, repaired some leaks, replaced Vac Pump and I can actually hear the turbo for the first time. Now, Walt, you've diagnosed a new problem with the injectors and blowing smoke. You are awesome, and saving my family $$$. Thankful for you! |

Rating: 5 of 5 stars I installed the 4" exhaust on my 96 Suburban in about 2 hours with only one arm.....lol...recovering from rotator cuff surgery was a bad time to lose the exhaust system! I had to cut about 3" off the primary pipe, and didn't use the secondary pipe at all. I had to do a little welding to convert the hangers from a blade style to a round bar style, but everything came together rather fast, the V-band clamp can be a real pain to line up, but even on my back in the driveway it only took two hours......very satisfied! Thanks! |

Rating: 5 of 5 stars Thank you guys so much! Your products, service, pricing and shipping are fantastic. My truck is great and you helped me make it even better. Beside the upgrades like the fsd heatsink, coolant system, and exhaust, Walt helped me diagnose a bad wastegate solenoid. I couldn't be more pleased to be a SSDiesle customer. I will be ordering more products as I need them.
Thanks again,

Rating: 5 of 5 stars THIS EXHAUST SOUNDS GREAT!!! EVERYTHING I BOUGHT FROM YOUR BUSINESS WAS SHIPPED FAST AND ACCURATE WITH ABSOLUTLY NO PROBLEMS!( 4 IN. EXHAUST,9 RESISTOR,INJECTOR WRENCH,SHIFT KIT ,CDR ETC.) I DID BUY A FEW ITEMS FROM ELSEWHERE AND HAD PROBLEMS WITH QUALITY AND HAD TO DO MY INJECTORS TWICE BECAUSE THE 6 OF 8 BODIES OF THE INJECTORS LEAKED BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT TESTED CORRECTLY AND WERE LOOSE AND THE COMPANY SPOKESMAN STATED " WELL SOMETIMES THAT HAPPENS AND I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED THEM BEFORE I INSTALLED THEM!!SAVE A BIT ON ONE END BUT PAY ALOT ON THE OTHER. MY ADVICE IS BUY FROM A REPUTABLE SHOP LIKE SS DIESEL AND SAVE YOURSELF ALOT OF AGGRAVATION AND TIME !! IN THE END THE TRUCK DOES HAVE MORE POWER, WILL DO 90 WITH NO PROBLEM AND NOT MASHING THE LOUD PEDAL DOWN BEFORE WAS A STRUGGLE TO GET TO 75 BUT MILEAGE SEEMS A BIT OFF , MIGHT BE CAUSE I HAVE A HARD TIME GOING 65 !! ;) |

09/03/2007 - Wayne General
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I just wanted to say that WALT is THE MAN! I called numerous dealerships, diesel repair facilitys etc.....and Walt is the only one who could help me without costing me an arm and a leg! I didn't buy any parts due to the time I had to deliver a used diesel I purchased for my car lot. I knew I had a good running truck, but it had developed a serious hestitaion and eventually wouldn't start. I found this website and it pointed me into the right direction. After replacing a FSD it wouldn't run under hard accelation. E-mailed Walt and he told me what to look for step by step! And it worked!!! Not many people in this world will take their time to help someone who has not yet purchased something from the company. Next time I have a diesel that I want or need to fix or upgrade SSdiesel WILL be the place! Sincerely and THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Wayne Berry Lincoln Nebraska. |

Rating: 5 of 5 stars I have a 95 Chevy PU and have been through it all just like everyone else. After spending thousands of dollars on repairs with only more frusterations I found SSDiESEL SUPPLY. I have installed the Heat Sync, new PMD, and resistor which took care of the stalling, missing, hard starting, and etc. Recently I had a problem with my truck missing and dying at start up. Through Walts easy troubleshooting help we figured the lift pump and ops switch was bad. My truck now runs great again. Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!!!! If you had a ten star rating I would give you all ten plus a couple. I will be getting more accessories as time goes on. |

Got the kit and had it installed in about 20 mins then went on a 3 hr test drive. All problems solved, Thanks Walt and everyone a SSDiesel Supply.

06/30/2007 - mike f PMD cooler Exhaust and air filter.
Rating: 5 of 5 stars Powerhouse I just sold my 97 2500 turbo diesel and got a duramax. The old diesel after putting on the exhaust resistor PMD kit and extended wireing harness air filter had almost the power of my newer truck. I just needed 4x4 and crew cab and couldnt find a early one. The 5 speed trans on the duramax helps
but the 6.5 had a better gear on a slight incline. It is only about 5 mph difference on the steepest hill. Dont think about buying the add ons just do it if you want to keep your truck. |

06/28/2007 - Rob C SSD Heat-Sync kit
Rating: 5 of 5 stars Two words, BUY IT!
If you have trouble with random engine shut downs with your GM 6.5 diesel, this is the solution.
Being a skeptical person, I emailed Walt several times before my purchase. He speaks the truth! He was more than helpful and knowledgeable!
The dealer wanted to replace the whole fuel injection unit. I even suggested just replacing only the PMD module to them. They told me the entire unit had failed.
It's been over eight months since I installed the SSD Heat-Sync unit. There has not been one problem since the installation.
Like I said at the beginning, save yourself the money of an expensive replacement of the entire fuel injection unit…
BUY THE SSD HEAT-SYNC UNIT!!! |

06/19/2007 - Scott F 4" exhaust
Rating: 5 of 5 stars Hey guys, last Saturday I installled your 4" exhaust and air filter on my 93' 2500K The installation was really slick for both products. I was suprised how much the stock down pipe off the turbo was necked down at various locations. The pipe had squared sections alomg the length, like it was held in a square mandrel while being formed. Anyway great product and great service. Got it to the "left coast" in about a week.
Thanks Scott |

06/17/2007 - Don D Air induction kit, 4 inch exhaust
Rating: 5 of 5 stars The products and customer service I have received so far have been excellent. I noticed an increase in power immediately after the air induction and exhaust were installed, and my rare 1998 Tahoe 2DR 4WD 6.5 Turbo rumbles and winds up like a beast. The exhaust took my very talented mechanic 5 hours to install - he had to flatten a small section of the tailpipe to fit it around my axle and make some hanger adjustments, but some fabrication was expected on this short wheelbase vehicle. Thanks Walt. Looking forward to more SS Diesel products. |

05/18/2007 - chris 4" exhaust, high flow intake
Rating: 4 of 5 stars I like the new 4" exhaust, it sounds good and i feel a slight increase in power, not sure about the mileage gains yet I just put it on yesterday, took about 4 hours. The hardest part was getting the old turbo downpipe off and putting the new one on.You either have to take out the crossover pipe or remove the passenger side tire and the inner fender. either way its a pain in the neck but worth the effort. I absalutley love the new intake, the turbo spools up so fast and is very loud, thanks for the great products and fast shipping I would definitly buy from you again. |

Rating: 5 of 5 stars I had the classic performance loss and decreased mpg..with occasional high speed surging, followed by intermittent stalling...and finally complete stall with no start..Researched the problem on the net..Decided the SS Diesel Supply product was both the best and what I needed. Ordered, arrived a few days later...Installed in about 30 mins (hardest part was getting the old pmd harness pulled up and out) and truck started first crank ! Starts easier and feels stronger than it has in years ! Thanks guys ! Great product and Im looking forward to NOT replacing another PMD in the forseeable future (1995 K2500 Suburban 6.5 148k miles) 1 injector pump, lift pump and 1 pmd replaced in warranty |

04/16/2007 - Ken R Cooling Fan Upgrade
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I installed the Duramax cooling fan upgrade in my '98 Diesel Suburban mostly to try to reduce the max temperature that the clutch would kick in (before it would go up to 230 degrees). After installing the new fan I couldn't get the engine hot enough to engage the clutch! It never got up to 200 deg. Not only that, but now I could comfortably tow at 65 mph whereas before I limited myself to 55-60 to keep the engine temps down. What an easy and inexpensive way to get a whole lot of improvement. Bottom cowl clearence was fine, but the top was a little close for my comfort, but nothing 20 minutes with the belt sander couldn't fix. Thanks for a great product. |

03/29/2007 - Mark G Lift pump, Fsd , pmd, exhaust cross over pipe , and air induction
Rating: 5 of 5 stars At first when I got my truck it was alittle rough around the edges. After speaking with Walt , and a few others , I ordered some intial parts to get it running right. Supply lift pump etc. Then I added the exhaust and new cross over. Then the fsd and a new PMD , then following up with the air induction. My truck is awesome , and runs great. I also had some body work done and new wheels and tires. It used to look bad and go 0 - 60 in 5 min. Now its up and running better than ever. Fuel treatment is also a must. I get on average 22 miles per gallon, and my truck is one the quickest diesels on the road. 0- 60 now is for sure under 7 or 8 and thats good for this truck. Thanks Walt Keep truckin Buddy. |

Rating: 5 of 5 stars Nice! After stalling and not starting, I pulled my hair out trying to figure out what was wrong. After reading the FAQ, I ordered the FSD that night. The next day I installed it in 10 minutes and the truck runs like never before. The #9 resistor gives a nice little boost of power :-) As soon as I move into my new house, I will be ordering the Stainless Power Package, injectors, glow plugs and water cooling upgrade. After finding SSDiesel, I wouldn't own any other truck. Thanks much! |

Rating: 5 of 5 stars After years of staring at this web site, I finally came up on enough money to upgrade my truck. As far as where to shop it was easy, Walt's knowledge and integrity precede him and speak volumes for his business this was the main factor in my choosing his products for my rig. I installed the intake myself, and took the exhaust to the pro's to hang, I even dropped Walt's card as the shop was impressed with the quality of the kit and ease of fit. I topped it all off with the emblems and the sweet 12 inch polished tip. SSD has another VERY satisfied customer in myself. Lest I forget the customer service is legendary, need I say more? Thanks Walt and crew! |

01/30/2007 - Kevin B Marine Injectors
Rating: 5 of 5 stars After extensive reluctance and opposition to what Walt was telling me mainly due to the initial sticker price of purchasing the marine injectors and the fact that I thought the truck was stilling running good at 140,000 miles, I finally listened to what Walt was telling me and broke down and bought them and installed them the Sunday after I got them. I have been my own mechanic for years and having a pretty good mechanical background/ability, I have to say that Walt truly is an expert with these GM 6.5L diesels and I got everything he said I would get from doing the change and then some. Faster cold (30 deg F) morning starts, Virtually no smoke, immediate pedal response, no turbo lag, more power, and even with the injectors still seating, I gained 1.5 MPG even with the winter blended fuels that reduces mileage by about 2MPG! The overall biggest part of the job is removing the Turbo to have room to change the injectors. A good graphite penetrating lube does well with the rusted manifold bolts I started applying it two times a day 3-4 days before doing the job, along with degreasing the injector areas 3-4 times and then finally blowing off the engine with compressed air after the turbo was off and before the injectors got changed. Everything was as clean as I could get it which paid off when it came time to fire the engine up and after 3 cold cranks, it came to life again and purred like a kitten almost immediately. As an extra precaution, I did change the fuel filter and bled the lower reservoir 3-4 days before doing the injectors and the night before trickle charged the batteries to be sure they were ready because I thought the re-start was going to be tougher than it was. The Marine injector kit is totally the way to go. Thank you walt for your patience and all of your emailed replies. |

Rating: 5 of 5 stars I can't believe how fast they got the products to me. It only took 2 days from when I placed my order. Everything they shipped fit and worked perfectly. The engine stays nice and cool and the turbo now works properly. The truck runs great. Since I am not much of a mechanic, I wish the directions were in more detail. I was able to figure it out easily enough though. I would highly recommend people to do business with SSDiesel. They know their stuff and are priced very well. |

12/11/2006 - Charles D FSD Kit
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I wrote to walt about my '96 Chevy K1500 stalling out. He emailed me back and told me a few diffrent things to try and if it wasn't one of them then it would be my PMD. I tried the other test and that wasn't the problem so I ordered a FSD Kit (and air induction kit) and the problem was fixed immediately. I couldn't believe the diffrence. It's like I'm driving a new truck. I can't believe when I slam the throttle and the truck launches. It's great. On the bottom of the invoice it says "Thank you very much, I really appreciate your business!!! Walt".
I say, Walt, thank you very much I really appreciate you being in business and helping me out with a problem that's been going on for a while. I'll be buying more from you in the near future. 147,000 miles and going stronger than ever. |

Rating: 5 of 5 stars My 95 suburban was having problems cutting off; would just stop running like someone turned the key. Eventually had it towed to a dealer and it was diagnosed as the injection pump - they wanted $2300 to replace it (it had already been replaced under the extended warrenty but was now out of warrenty). A friend found this web site and Walt recommended the FSD heat-sync. Was quick to install and so far has worked like a charm! The truck is running smooth with no turning off! What a relief!

11/22/2006 - Todd C wastegate solenoid
Rating: 5 of 5 stars I recently purchased a 98 GMC 3500 with the 6.5L turbo. The first thing I did was replace the old PMD with a new SS Diesel FSD/PMD kit. Even though I wasn't having any major problems yet, everything I've read so far suggests that it WILL happen eventually. Plus, I was hoping that it might improve my mileage some.
It didn't. No problem though, because I wanted the new heat sink and remote mounting anyway.
So after some more reading on the SS Diesel site, I saw where the wastegate solenoid could cause poor mileage as well as black smoke on acceleration, which I was also experiencing.
So I bought a new solenoid. Figured what the heck, it's $38 bucks and hasn't probably ever been changed anyway.
It took about 3 minutes to install. I fired up the truck and immediately noticed a HUGE difference in throttle response.
So after it warmed up a few minutes, I took it for a test drive...WOW! It feels like I've added 25 more HP. It's amazing how different it runs from just a simple fix.
So I want to thank Walt and his crew for putting up such really useful info. on your site. I figure a diesel shop would have charged me at least $200 to fix the problem.

Rating: 5 of 5 stars I’ve had my 95 GMC truck for about 3 years. It has never worked as good as it Does now. I was having DTC Codes Come up every Time I Drove it....29,36,78,99 ect.. I looked for a year or so for some site that would shed some light on the issues. I even asked my mechanic friend But everything he told me to do was expensive and never fixed anything. When I Finally Found SS diesel supply, I was glued to my computer night after night, Learning everything I Could about my truck. Walt was great sharing his expertise in the 6.5 TD. He diagnosed my problems right away. I had a PMD that was on its way out, a failed lift pump, and a failed vacuum pump. I replaced my PMD with a FSD Heat Sync, and it works great. Got a new vacuum pump, put a new fuel filter, OPS switch, Lift pump, air filter, and pump relay, I installed everything and now my truck is like new. My turbo really winds up. Sounds great too! Cant wait to get a new 80HP chip and 4” exhaust. Thanks Walt!!

Rating: 5 of 5 stars Walt is truly a saint! Even home recovering he still had dedication to helping diagnose my 6.5L turbos electrical issues, where together we pinpointed the problem to the electronic computer module. bought it, installed it, and truck runs great again. This is my 5th purchased Item with SSDIESELSUPPLY and the quality is top notch, the pricing is very fair especially with all of the value added service you get before ordering so there is confidence in making the repair and having the right components to eliminate the problems. i am very glad the previous owner of my truck informed me of SSDIESEL SUPPLY and especially Walt for all of his knowledge of these general Motors diesel engines. Thank you Walt for the fantastic assistance and honest information. Whenever my truck needs components, I will always check to see if SSDIESEL has it first.

10/22/2006 - Warren Cooling System/Fan Upgrade Combo Kit and Heater Hose/Tube Push-Lock Connector
Rating: 5 of 5 stars If its cooling a 6.5 L you are worried about, buy Walt's fabulous Cooling System/Fan Upgrade Combo Kit as well as the Heater Hose/Tube Push-Lock Connector as after its all installed 180 degrees is as hot as the engine will get. I installed these on my '96 C2500 SWB flatbed with duallies [via an adapter kit] just before I towed a 40-foot enclosed car transporter 900 miles on a hot day across Canada. I was truckin' along between 65 and 75 mph most of the way and the temprature guage never got above 180 degrees. The trip back with the transporter full was a bit slower [5000 lbs more will do that] and again the temprature guage never went above 180 degrees even on uphills on the New York State Thruway.
Installation: PLAN ON 2 VERY FULL DAYS; and do not work too long on either day. Go SLOW and BE CAREFUL. Take photos of the engine BEFORE taking it apart. Steam clean or power wash the engine [underneath too!!] and engine compartment [especially around the front end of the engine where the lower radiator hose attaches] BEFORE you start; it will make the job MUCH easier. Have a friend help you, especially with the ##*@@!!! lower radiator hose. Get the right tools to remove a radiator hose!!!!! Make sure you have all the right tools, especially for removing the old cross-over and installing the new one; you WILL need a universal.
Before you start, obtain the pages on replacing the water pump from the factory service manual; these combined with Walt's instructions will make the job much easier. Also get the pages on taking off the grill and other parts around it; DO NOT reef hard on the plastic, it breaks easily [voice of experience]. If you have all the screws, bolts and other fasteners out/off, the grill and other parts around it all will come right off. While you have this area apart, clean the radiator, oil cooler and transmission fluid cooler; this will take about an hour, but is well worth it; wait until you see the trash and dirt in there!
Get the best stainless steel radiator clamps you can find; the ones with springs are so much better than just the plain ones; at this point a couple of dollars more makes no difference. Do not cheap out on the installation. Be careful of the sensor on the top of the intake manifold while you work, in fact, I suggest you remove it [plug the hole!!] as then you won't break it and have to spend another $25 bucks at the Chevy/GM dealer you did not plan to [voice of experience here]. DO NOT BUY AN AFTER MARKET SENSOR!!!!
You will not beleive the amount of air the fan in this combo kit moves. Don't skimp and not buy it, get the whole kit, it is well worth the money. Think of this as insurance against having to buy a rebuilt engine.
My opinon is if you only do one upgrade to your 6.5 engine, this is the one to do.
The engine already had a 4-inch exhaust system, a modified factory airbox and a highflow filter, and an intercooler. Guages include boost, EGT, oil temp, trans temp, rearend temp. I did not use any of the tuner stuff, as I wanted more power as well as to increase the dependability and longevity of the engine.
Soon to be added will be a larger tranmission pan; a larger rear-end cover along with a radiator with fan for cooling it, fans on the transmission and oil coolers.
I sought Walt's advice before I started and his advice was clear and honest. I do not think you can go wrong doing business with Walt. |

10/21/2006 - Michael F FSD Heat sink, Four inch exhaust,marine injectors, boost and baro sensors, gauges, Air Performance Kit, 80 hp chip, Fuel Conditi
Rating: 5 of 5 stars First of all we need to wish Walt a speedy recovery. I know that this business can be very stressful and we have probably all added stress to Walt's life.
All of the products that I have ordered so far for my 1995 GMC 6.5L Diesel were very easy to install. I did have problems with a lot of rust and frozen nuts and bolts. After reading the testimonials and FAQ's, I too discovered that removing the fender well, made it easier to access the turbo and injectors. Now I can go from zero to fourty miles an hour in about two seconds, whereas before it seemed like about five minutes.
Before I discovered SSDiesel I was on the verge of sueing General Motors for their product design defect being that I too had three injection pumps install within the first thirty thousand miles. I had the 4th one installed at 108k under the extended Stanedyne Warrenty; the dealership nor General Motors would honor that warrenty until I found my copy that was sent to me eight years ago. I am a professional mechanic with several degress and certifications. It was instilled in me never to modify any vehicle because of the liability factor. I find it interesting that after 100 years of the evolution of the automobile; we are once again making custom made cars after the car leaves the factory.
Thank you Walt and Ann, and all the staff and employees of SSDiesel for making my investment last longer than 100k miles, and operate like a diesel should; one of the customers said:"screaming down the road like a raped ape". |

10/12/2006 - Dustin M 4" exhaust, intake, gauges, #9 resistor, 80 hp chip
Rating: 5 of 5 stars i recently installed the mentioned modifications to my 1994 gmc c1500. it is my daily driver, but i was tired of getting beat by my buddies with gas trucks. after these mods, i am now not afraid to go out to the strip against the 5.3 and 6.0 or even the dodge hemi, as i know they will be left in a big ol' cloud of black diesel smoke. the exhaust and intake were priced good, but are worth their weight in gold, as was everything else. now my old 6.5 is not afraid to light em' up and giver!! |

10/09/2006 - Ryan FSD Heat sink kit and lift pump
Rating: 5 of 5 stars My sisters '94 chevy was getting progressively worse. Rough running, stalling, and finally no start. Her "friend",who is a local diesel mechanic said it would be about $2000 for a new computer. I did some research, found this site, ordered the part and had it running better than new in under 10 min. We coundn't be more satisfied. |
