WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 20 other vehicles, including the 1994 GMC Yukon, 1994 GMC Vandura Special, 1994 GMC Vandura, 1994 GMC Suburban, and 1994 GMC Rally Camper Special. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: For injection pump timing with Tech 1 scan tool, refer to INJECTION PUMP TIMING ADJUSTMENT in the 6.5L V8 DIESEL & TURBO DIESEL - VINS [F,P,S,Y] article in ENGINE MECHANICAL section.
  1. Original factory injection pump timing is set by using dynamic timing mark (a circle scribed across both pump flange and front housing) or static timing mark (straight line scribed across both pump flange and front housing).
    NOTE: A service/replacement pump will not be marked with dynamic timing mark (circle) and should be timed using the static timing mark (line).
  2. To properly set timing, 2 halves of dynamic timing mark (circle) or static timing mark (line) must be aligned. Engine must not be running while injection timing is set.
  3. Check alignment of injection pump timing marks on top of engine front cover and injection pump flange. If timing marks are not aligned, loosen 3 retaining nuts and align mark on injection pump with mark on front cover. Tighten nuts to 30 ft. lbs. (41 N.m). Adjust throttle linkage.
