Re: Is this guy confused?
I am about 99% sure the "converted" diesel engines never made it into trucks. I think it was only in the Olds and Cadillacs and was 5.7L. It was based on the gas olds rocket V8 and was REALLY weak in the heads/head bolts. I think it was a totally GM product...I dont think Detroit had any part in it. The motor was total junk. It got to the point where people would buy brand new cadillacs with that motor and drop in a gas 350 and be cash ahead.
The 6.2 is infact a Detroit Diesel, but it was designed as a diesel from tip to tail. It's in thousands of trucks both millitary and civilian and is a good motor.
That dude is confused.
