Helps being a registered operator on the company's insurance.. can't have pops cop out on me driving the Silverado. Granted, I'd rather pick up a GMT-400 2500HD with a 6.5 Diesel or a CUCV with a 6.2 Diesel.

no... you dont.

well, you might, but you dont.

the early 6.2's were made with gasoline blocks and both series of the engines, while good for average power, are not capable (without major rework) of creating numbers matching stock output of current Duramax engines. not to mention, tuning capabilities (or lack thereof) and upgrades/mods that wont destroy the block are not cheap

they are stout motors, but there's better options.

Buddy of mine down in Chucktown has a 97 2500hd with a 6.5 turbo. its a decent truck, sucks on mileage, but pulls strongly enough for what it is.

biggest problem he's had with it was the crank pulley sliding off the crank shaft. bolt backed out on it and the pulley ripped the key and gouged the shaft before bouncing around inside the engine bay.

now the front axle has siezed up amongst other things. lol


but if you are looking for a dirt cheap diesel, get a 6.5 turbo.

if you are looking for a good truck to last you a while and have more options to upgrade down the road, get a Duramax.

He has 5 thorasic vertebrea shattered needs surgery but my mom has to make that choice i told her that surgery is the best option because they would have to put him in a complete body cast to restrict all his movements for at least 6 months for him to heal properly, he is already going insane and sleep deprived and is at the stage where he is taking everything out on everyone. the surgery would help him get out of there prob in a week or two but without it the process could take a year. About the only good thing that came from this that he is still alive.

Sorry to hear that he's having to go through all this, but like you said, at least he's alive. If he has his surgery I hope it goes well and without complications.

thanks so do i, back surgery is such a complicated surgery and such a long one because of all the detail that goes in to it i told my mom i would have said no if it was only 1 vertebrae but 5? that is about half his thorasic vertebrae, i think if im not mistaken we have 12.
