If you are going to pull serious loads alot the Cummins is the way to go, but in a Suburban I would go with the 6.5, it will just about fall into place in the engine compartment and be much less $$$
I am also going to sell a conversion guide that shows step by step how to swap out a DS4 (electronic) IP and put in a DB2 (mechanical) IP and keep your 4L80E transmission.

I'm a fan also. With a little effort the 6.2/6.5TD's are one of the most ecomonical V8 diesels out there. I am putting a turbo'd 6.2 out of a CUCV in my dually and i'm going to run it until the truck is completed. After I get the truck like I want it, I have a '99 6.5 TD that I am going to build for more power. Its going to get 18:1 Peninsular pistons, DSG gear drive and stud girdle and ARP main and head studs. 300-350 HP and 500 - 550 TQ is acheivable if they are built right. That seems to be about the point that they tend to get unreliable if you go any higher. That kind of output would do anything I ever wanted to do with my truck, especially with the NP435 tranny and Gear Vendors OD I planning on buying for it.
