ABOUT
Finally, a rebuild and performance guide for
GM 6.2 and 6.5L diesel engines!
In
the late 1970s and early 1980s, there was considerable
pressure on the Detroit automakers to increase the fuel
efficiency for their automotive and light-truck lines. While
efficient electronic engine controls and computer-controlled
gas engine technology was still in the developmental stages,
the efficiency of diesel engines was already well documented
during this time period. As a result, General Motors added
diesel engine options to its car and truck lines in an attempt
to combat high gas prices and increase fuel efficiency.
The first mass-produced V-8 diesel engines of the era, the
5.7L variants, appeared in several General Motors
passenger-car models beginning in 1978 and are often referred
to as the Oldsmobile Diesels because of the number of
Oldsmobile cars equipped with this option. This edition faded
from popularity in the early 1980s as a result of falling gas
prices and quality issues with diesel fuel suppliers, giving
the cars a bad reputation for dependability and reliability.
The 6.2L appeared in 1982 and the 6.5L in 1992, as the focus
for diesel applications shifted from cars to light trucks.
These engines served faithfully and remained in production
until 2001, when the new Duramax design replaced it in all but
a few military applications.
While very durable and reliable, most of these engines have a
lot of miles on them, and many are in need of a rebuild. This
book will take you through the entire rebuild process step by
step from diagnosis to tear down, inspection to parts
sourcing, machining, and finally reassembly. Also included is
valuable troubleshooting information, detailed explanations of
how systems work, and even a complete Stanadyne DB2 rebuild
section to get the most out of your engine in the modern era.
If you have a 6.2, or 6.5L GM diesel engine,
this book is a must-have item for your shop or
library.
