The 6.2 and 6.5 Chevy diesels never had a very good reputation. But, i have never owned one.

I know its not about the Chevy Diesels but, a friend of mine knows several F**D mechanics and they said that they see the ford powerstrokes come in all the time just destroyed after 30-50K miles. These engines weren't designed for short hops to the Quicky-Mart. They are ment to be run hard for long periods of time. They said that the short hops cause lots of problems to these engines (although I don't know what). Does anyone know if the Chevy Diesels are the same?

The 6.2/6.5 have very bad injector pumps, and the bearings (both rod and main) are rather pathetic. All that with a fairly pathetic H.P. AND torque output makes it a crappy motor.
I was kinda surprised to see a roller cam and the size of the lifters in these turds though. ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350. Trying to clean up the left over damage from the Dope-Smokin-Old-Man I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it. Need to pick up the one ton Longhorn with a PONTIAC 350/350soon. Thanks every one!  Check out The Longhorn Webite.
