Allen,
All you need is to replace the electronic pump with one of the later
models of the mechanical pumps that were used on the very first 6.5
engines. I have a 91 Van in which I put a 95 6.5 engine with an early
mechanical pump. It has run over 120,000 mile on that pump and is still
going strong. If you want I will look up the paperwork and let you know
the pump number.

Subject: [MBZ] 5.7 diesels
The 6.5 diesel uses an electronic controlled Stanadyne pump and the
electronics are a major problem. I have two 6.5 diesels and I have spent
about $4k on pump problems.
The Stanadyne pump is used on John Deere diesel tractors, and I
believe it was used on early Ford/IHC diesels. It is a cheap pump that
expensive to maintain.
