Re: How about some pics of your 4x4
The 5.7 GM diesel that came out in '78 when Ford & Dodge didn't offer a diesel was built off an Olds 350 block. Their problem,other than not much power,was a plastic sump pick up screen that would clog. A diesel truck guy I knew that was into then just pulled the pan and broke the stupid thing off and he got all kinds of miles from them.
The 6.2,then the 6.5,are both the same design built by Detroit Allison and was never a gas motor,designed as a diesel. The bore is the difference in displacement. They were first offered in '82 and in late-92 the 6.5TD came out only in regular cab heavy 2500s,3500s,and the new 3500HDs. Starting in '93 they were available in Blazer/Jimmys,Suburbans,1500,and all body styles except regular cab short beds.
