Anyone running a 6.5 turbo diesel or 6.2 diesel in their c10?

While I know they're weak, I think it would be fun for just a cruiser. Anyone done the swap?

Re: Anyone running a 6.5 turbo diesel or 6.2 diesel in their c10?

I have one sitting in garage for the swap. Doing full frame and drivetrain swap at same time so I have been collecting parts forever. Good mpg and for me anyhow they have been reliable once I put manual glow plug setup on.

I have had 5 6.2 & 6.5 trucks before and like them, if I want to go fast I'll drive my chevelle lol. I will say out of all the trucks I have had them in my favorite was a 6.2 diesel backed by a silverado NV3500, it had good gear spacing unless you had a heavy load or trailer then I missed the low 1st of the SM465. Current project is going to be 6.2,SM465,4.10 gears and 35" tires so should be able to do interstate speeds.
