Re: 6.5L Diesel shooting out black smoke

don't have alot of experience with the 6.5's, but i know they are notorious for pump problems. this is not the best news for anyone, but i hope others can help more with the diagnostics. you could always take it to a shop/chevy dealer and pay them the diag fee, and go from there. Either way, the black smoke is a sure sign of "over fueling"....either the pump is pushing too much, or the injectors are leaking...or regulator(i think it is internal on the pump) is blown.
