You have a 1984 Chevy 6.2l diesel that is surging in every gear at the mid to top end of it acceleration have put on an electric fuel pump but no difference any ideas?

Best guess you have the same problem I had-- a hard to find fuel line leak. This causes the fuel pressure in the injection pump to be erratic, and it's like the throttle is variable. By researching online forums for Chevy 6.2 diesels, I found that pressuizing the return line out of the injection pump with about 4psi air with engine off will pump bubbles out of the leaks, that's how I found it.
If that's not the issue, possibly your new lift pump is not pressurizing enough. Should be 5-7 psi pump.
Timing not set correctly can cause surges.
Air not bled completely in the system, such as in the primary fuel filter, can cause surging and hard starts. First thing is to make sure your fuel system is free of leaks and all air bled out correctly. Good luck!!

What is an explanation for how a modern diesel or electric locomotive develops power?
Modern diesel electric motors are actually hybrids engines. The electric motor is used whenever possible to conserve fuel, and the diesel engine provided power for hill climbs and acceleration,
Do British trains run on diesel or electric?
British trains run on both diesel and electric
Why are diesel trains louder than electric trains?
Diesel trains are louder than electric trains because you the noise that the diesel engine makes, which is louder than the electric engine.
What is the difference between petrol and diesel engines?
diesel engines doesn't use spark plug but uses heater plug.petrol engines produces more torque than petrol engines but petrol engines produces more acceleration than diesel engines.petrol engine is faster to be heated than diesel engine.
What is a diesel-electric power plant?
A diesel electric power plant is an engine that powers electric motors. The motors actually operate the machinery such as a locomotive.

Why diesel doesn't have electric ignition system?
No spark plugs in a diesel.
Why is diesel electric used on locomotives?
Diesel electric is used on locomotives because the diesel electric system is much cleaner and quieter and more efficient than the old steam locomotives. The diesel fuel is used to run a generator which produces electric power which is used to power the electromagnetic drive motors mounted on the locomotives axles!
What is the difference between normal cars and electrical cars?
Normal cars use petrol or diesel and have an internal combustion engine while an electric car uses an electric motor and uses electricity to power it.
Tell you about diesel electric engines?
It is used on extremely heavy vehicles such as dump trucks in a mine or locomotive. The design is: a diesel engine drives a electric generator. Then the electricity is distributed to electric motors that drive the road wheels. This design eliminates clutches, gearboxes and drive shafts. Today, some ships have similar design. The difference is the electric motors drive propellers instead of road wheels.
Can a petrol electric fuel be used for diesel?
I don't know what a 'petrol electric fuel' might be. You certainly can't use petrol in a diesel engine.
Most trains are powered by what?
There are two major types of modern locomotives. Electric, and Diesel-Electric. Electric locomotives are very popular in some countries, and likewise for diesel-electric. Electric locomotives take in electricity via an overhead wire or a third rail that carries this electricity which is then in turn used to power electrical motors on the axles of the locomotive to move the train. Diesel-electric is identical, but electricity is not directly supplied. The locomotive is fueled with diesel which powers a large diesel engine that drives a generator that in turn drives electric motors on the axles of the locomotive. Think of it as a hybrid. An on-board generator that powers on-board electric motors.
