Re: Are are the deisel in square bodies?
I own at least ten square body diesels. Have been using an 82 1/2 ton 4 x 4 6.2 diesel as a farm/hunting/fishing truck for 20 years. Have a couple Suburbans, a Blazer and numerous pickups. All 6.2's. To sum it up, if you like driving fast, passing a lot or towing heavy trailers, the 6.2 is not for you. I like the 6.2's because of the fantastic fuel mileage they make. Used to run 350's and 305's. Neither hold a candle to the mileage of a 6.2. If you warm them up a little before driving and service them regularly they last a LONG time. Injector pumps last about 120000 miles. I commute 70 miles a day for the last 30 years, and have wore out a few of these trucks. Not uncommon to get 400-500 thousand miles before overhaul. Have had a couple 6.5's, they were dependable and more powerful, but I prefer the mechanical pump 6.2's
