    6.2 diesel or 292 inline 6?

    Wiring on a 6.2 is pretty simple - Hot to the fuel solenoid, temp & oil pressure sensors, and glow plugs. Can take pics of mine if it would be helpful.

    I just won a 1985 1 ton C/K Four door from the auction. going to pick it up next week ill post pics. Are there any four door square body guys on here?

    My C30 is the same way - bought new by my mom & dad. Scottsdale with 350 & TH400. Along the way, the small block got swapped for the diesel.

    07 Yukon For Sale

    OMG, like I need another project! Got the 2 79 crew cabs, a 60 F250 4x4, and just picked up a 95 K2500 that needs a lot of TLC. Plus the XR250 with a leaky carb & Polaris 330 with a bad starter! I'd love to find a GMT900 3/4 ton duramax-swapped Burb, but the wife wants the new body style.

    1988 Crew Cab 454 TBI Knock

    If you didn't know this already, make sure the lifters & pushrods all go back in the same holes they came out of. Being a TBI, would it have a roller cam?

    87 v3500 6.2 engine replacement

    If budget is a serious concern, I'd look to a big block or a 6.0 LS. You will not be happy with a small block or 5.3 in a 1 ton(ask me how I know). Injector pumps are crazy expensive for the 6.2, heads are prone to stress cracks; just a lot of stuff that can get expensive really quick, and all...

    1988 Crew Cab 454 TBI Knock

    If you wanted to completely rule out top end first, you can pull the intake & check the lifters & cam easy enough with the motor still in the truck. I've also pulled & replaced heads with the engine in the truck(on a 6.2 diesel, no less). All done outside in my driveway. If it's a 4x4(don't...

    1988 Crew Cab 454 TBI Knock

    Maybe stick a borescope into all the cylinders to check for damage? At least start eliminating possibilities. I think just trying to judge by the noise, you're going to get as many different opinions as people you ask.

    The Quest For Overdrive . . .

    I had a 91 K1500 with the NV3500. The TBI 350 lasted over 300k. The trans had to be rebuilt twice in that time. Completely stock motor.
