Hi everyone,

I have some questions for anyone who has/had a 2002 GMC Savana with diesel... Alumibunk models included.

Please PM me.

Thanks,

Injection pump problems very common.

how did you conclude that?

I didn't get a PM back.... maybe Dale don't want to reply to me?

Most, maybe even all of the people I knew running that vintage GM diesel had to replace injection pumps.

But, there was an update to the pump somewhere along the line and maybe an '02 would have the improved one.

Yea the update was done I think in 1998 or 97. The most common problem is the control units attached to the IP, they had a habit of burning up if there was a lot of heat in the engine area. The other thing may also be the lift pump, which is on the frame rail, not in the tank.

2002's were something that were left over 2001 chassis - if I remember right the 2001's were the last official run for the 6.5 chassis but Penske had a bunch of that were titled as 2002s. Again the I may be off one year.

Wonder what Dale wanted?
