Anyone have any experience or insights on the old gm 6.2l diesel?

The engine bearings were not as bad.

Dog. Not powerful, loud, not particularly reliable.

Drove one through my time at A&M in the 80's. Never gave any trouble, but is what TSW2012 said it was. Remember that automotive diesels of that vintage were really built for economy, and that was marginal. I would leave home for school and always switch tanks around schulenberg, that was 15.5 mpg in a C30 w 4.10s

They do respond well to the addition of a turbo!

Man, I wanted one so bad - When Gale Banks was THE name in turbos and The Outfield rock spring break on South Padre Island!

Never drove one with a turbo, but we had an old hay truck with one in it. You could measure the 0-60 with a sundial.

Well, they weren't quite as good as the Oldsmobile 5.7L
The last thing I want to do is hurt you. But, it's still on the list.

My dad had an 83 K5 Blazer with the 6.2 diesel. I don't ever remember any issues with the motor but that thing shredded transmissions. I think he was on #3 when he sold it when not a ton of miles.
