that 6.2 is the same motor in the army hummers. They are very good engines with 119,000 miles it has lots of life left those old 6.2's will last well over 200,000 miles and if you take care of it, it last over 400,000. The olny thing about them is the injection pump might have a seal go out in it, but it cost around here in south texas about 300 dollars to rebuild the pump.

You might want to check for blow back, when the motor is running pull the dipstick if a oily mist is come out of the dipstick tube, if it has blow back stay away from it. It probably won't run much longer.
