blew up my 6.2l in the 1028

[monkster]

After extinsive surches. I have figured out that 6.5 n/a will work, i think that the trans and tanfer or specfice to that eng. If i use the kiss aproch I shuuld go back with the 6.2, but non or listed in the classified. I have lost some referances when I got a new CPU, any opinions.

6.2 to 6.5 swaps have been covered and you can use the same transmission/transfer setup. Just swap the accessories from the donor (bad) motor and bolt on to the new 6.5. Enjoy more ponies

Wheres the details on the engine blowing, what happened?And of course carnage pics are always nice.

And the 6.2/6.5 are the same block/engine, except for the bolt-ons depending on year

Oh, and if you think your truck's loud going down the road, try listening to it on fast idle with the hood up! After some basic maintenance the other day, I proceeded to fire the truck up. No s***, the thing shook for a good minute (I could literally feel the truck rocking from side to side while sitting in it) Between the shaking and the fast idle, I thought it was going to shoot a piston through a cylinder head. Luckily once it came off fast idle, it settled into a nice low rumble.

AHHH, Pictures like that make a mechanic smile, provided the customer says to fix it, that is. I love the smell of a cooked engine, smells just like money.

What? The newest consesus is that the 6.2 is good for over 4,000 rpm. It had to be something else!

As for my personal 6.2s, I am still trying to keep them under 2200.... call me slow and behind the times...

With a loud bang, a screeching stop, and plenty of colorful expletives

 

[jaymcb]

I thought the 6.2 was good for 5k

i drive my 1009 very fast...70-85mph speedo dangles past 85.... seems like she might have some more.

It did not blow in the literal sence, it knock loudly and lock up. (The kity knocker stop) I,m having probs finding good used eng., almost as it would beto get another truck. Jasper rebuilds or at $5300 and I have found a few take outs for $3500.

 

[monkster]

Will try to get my pea brain to work at geting some pics.

Me too broken duramax all day equals money for this guy!

 

[swbradley1]

Gee, I have six 6.2s in cans at my house.............I wonder if the owners would mind me giving you a couple.

 

[chevyCUCV]

Stay away from jasper, have only heard bad things about their 6.5's
Couple months ago there was a guy on cl in Indiana with a bunch of NOS 6.2 engines, They were going for 250 i think.

Keep searching and good deals will turn up.

Boyce Equipment offers 6.2 engines. I don't have any personal experience with them but price seems fair. Boyce Equipment Axles and Military Parts
