my 1991 cucv m1009 blazer has the same engine just no turbo that is a banks on that one right anyway my 6.2 in the blazer is at 500,000 miles and i put transmisson fluid in my diesel i do not think it would have gotten that high with the factory engine with no rebuilds if it was'nt for the trany fulid

What brand of turbo kit? Banks, ATS, or what? Love the truck! Those 6.2L's wherent power houses, but they did what they were build for great!

diesel power is awesome. diesel in dirt devine

[12valvepower]

the old 6.2d with a turbo. i hear that they were good stuff

[jasonjhancock]

I wasn't a Chevy fan before I found this truck ... now - I wouldn't be without it.

Gutless wonders, but still worth their weight.

[REXTRACK]

Good Vid,Thx. Hope u still have your truck . U got balls guy.

[jasonjhancock]

Yes! I wouldn't think of selling the truck. I love that little 6-2. I'd like to do something with that ol' 4-speed tranny (install a gear vendors overdrive auxiliary), but I will keep her as she is for now. Dialed back a little on the pump, straight exhaust and turbocharged. Only real thing she needs now is some new rubber on the wheels.

[tpvalley]

Dialled back on the pump?

U mean u turned the fuelling down and reduced power? to save fuel?

Think urself lucky, diesel costs £4.80/$10 a gallon here!! arrrrrrggghhh.

Sometimes turning the pump down increases fuel consumption as less torque means u have to keep a lower gear in certain conditions.

I turned mine up, got better mpg, but not if driven hard.

[farmboy120]

i got the same thing just an 87 and black. what kinda mileage you getting. i get 12-14. but then again its the original motor with 221,000 miles.

[jasonjhancock]

Mine is turbo - and I am sure it is an aftermarket setup. The factory AC was upgraded by the previous owner. I am averaging 23 to 25 mpg if I keep it under 60mph.

[farmboy120]

even if i baby it i still get at the most 15 mpg. i think its because it has 225,000 on the original 6.2. i don't know could be wrong about that

[no1MindOverMatter]

that's odd my 6.2L is a old military engine converted to 12v with about 200K on it and the tranny is a th400 with a tow kit and geared in the rear to tow and it get between 22-26 all the time. i never have gotten less then 22 or more then 26mpg

[farmboy120]

i drove it 100 miles everyday. got 12-15 mpg. didnt matter if i was on flat ground or pullin a hill empty.

[tpvalley]

@farmboy120

check injection timing and airfilter, also get injectors tested, they may be dripping.

Another obvious thing is tyre pressures, keep em pumped up they really sap the mpg.

[tpvalley]

I'd like to see this from out side, sounds good.

[jasonjhancock]

So would I. I tried to get someone or somewhere to mount a camera while I do laps on this track, but alas, it turned out to be a one man show. I will try the next time I head out there.
