@wfortier502 the term is NO BALLS you tard. And Lets see, while they are not near as powerful as new or turbo 6.5s they are still pretty good. I had my 92 Silverado K1500 6.2 Diesel hooked to a 89 Ram 4x4 and a 96 Blazer 4x4 and she never even struggled. I left her in OD and 4hi and she pulled them right out of the mud.
I saw a right hand drive version of these with duel rear wheels here in UK but was worried that they may only do 18mpg (thats what a friend gets in a converted range rover, but hes a twat), it was a 1990 6.2diesel, I was also concerned about spare part availability over here as we pay extra tax if we buy american stuff!!
@GMCMan29 hahahaha i know its a lie cuz i know several people that have tried and have lied about and couldnt prove shit.but im not saying that they didnt have over 600k cuz i know they will go over that.my buddys got one with over 800k and all he did was replace the injectors
@GMCMan29 im saying your lying about "I had my 92 Silverado K1500 6.2 Diesel hooked to a 89 Ram 4x4 and a 96 Blazer 4x4 and she never even struggled. I left her in OD and 4hi and she pulled them right out of the mud." your full of shit.
@robby844 well lets see, both drivers were also powering at the time, I was the only one not in the mud, sooo, lets do the math since your simple brain cant do it, thats 12 wheels doing the work, My truck was doing the most work, but it was being helped. And maybe yours was a POS, my was mildly modified, a 3 inch glasspacked single exhaust, slight turn on the fuel screw, and a K&N drop in filter and intake silencer delete. Again your just a dweeb thinking you know it all
@GMCMan29 well lets see asshole mine went to gale banks and had a turbo kit on it intercooler, nitro injet, and a couple turns on the screw,and a 4k spring kit.oh did i forget to mention it was back by and allison 1000 overdrive trans? oh wait there was also a browney box with a 1:2 over and a 6:1 under.over all i had over 35k in the truck.so i think i have you beat.oh wait i forgot about the 20k pound braden i had in the bed and the front bumper.
@robby844 sure buddy. And my dad is the President lol. If your truck couldnt pull with that done to it then either you cant drive or your truck was a hunk of shit, your you are full of shit, either way I know what MY truck did, so STFU
@robby844 oh and BTW everyone with a 6.2 knows you dont turn the fuel screw more then 1/8th of a turn, 2 turns would be a runaway truck, so you are full of shit. and whats nitro inject? You mean nitrous injection? You only got me beat by the amount of shit your spewing out of your mouth lol.
@GMCMan29 hahaa really? 1.5 turns? cuz thats what i did.see the thing is i told you i put a 4k spring kit and a couple turns.the 4k kit keeps it from running away asshole.but i like that you agree that you are full of shit.and the guys i was pulling out were down to the frames in thick ass mud and the engines were stalled.but in the end my truck got them out after we shoveled for a couple hours.
@robby844 read you dumbfuck I said 1/8th of a turn not 1.5 turns you shit. Also a 4k spring kit, lets the engine turn 4000rpms which doesnt change the fact it would runaway with your dumb ass bottoming out the fuel screw, And how did I agree Im full of shit? Oh wait I DIDNT, God I swear they should keep retards off the internet.
@GMCMan29 hahahhah you dipfuck you tell me to read and you cant even do it yourself.i said i turned the screw 1.5 turns you dipshit.damn and yes you admitted it here :"You only got me beat by the amount of shit your spewing out of your mouth lol." and yes asshole nitro inject you claim your a diesel fan but yet you know NOTHING.btw did i mention that i didnt have the stock pump on it as well.oh well you should have known that
man those sierra classic SUVS are crap!!!!!! i know these guys who had a strip mining business, they used a few of them and the diesel for those 6.2 engines were outrageous, they had regular gas engines put in them
@SnipinRedneck43 think again boy, I had one and I know 5 guys who still own them, two of them have 600,000 with no problems at all. While they are not near as powerful as the turbo diesels they still pull good, I haul out of the mud close to 10,000lbs and she never even flinched. One hell of a truck and still got me 25mpg on the highway at 70mph.
a lot fail due to duel mass crank pulley/ vibration damper failing so the crank snaps, also the main bearing area on the block cracks and fails, but it appears that its a gamble, some last forever and some just eat themselves; a place here sold them for landrover conversions and went bust due to warranty claims but they rebuilt all of them and I suspect they didnt do it right.
25miles to a US gallon is better than my mates 2.5 diesel mazda!(23mpg english gallon)!!!
Nice rig. The turbo 400 is an awesome transmission. I have one on my 454 SS ElCamino. I have never had a problem with it and believe me, there is a lot of power going through that tranny.
i was wondering what you were runnin for tires on your truck? also what do you have for a transmission? ive got a 6.2 also, and ive got a turbo 400 runnin 35s, i keep blowing the tranni
The Turbo 400 is a very tough transmission. Nothing should be going wrong with it unless there is something assembled improperly or if something was put in there that's fucked up.
Of all the myriad problems I've had with every 6.2L ruck I've had, the 400 turbo giving out isn't one of them. The 6.2 in its stock form barely has enough power to pull itself, let alone break a th400. I had one with a banks turbo, and even that one was only at about half of what a stock th400 can handle.
yeeup. I keep hearing great things and reports of great mileage in these. People say get one 1985 or newer for the better injection pumps. I will be happy without any turbo .. just the basics; stock normally aspirated .. until I learn of a very reliable combo for a turbo or other mods. I'm mostly interested in reliability and economy.
what kind of suspension lift are you running? I just bought a M1008 with dana 60s and can't find anybody who lists a 1 ton truck lift kit.
