Hi -
Not a lot of LR content here, but I need some help and I've seen this engine
mentioned many times in the past on this list. I have a Chevy 3500HD one
ton with the 6.5 turbo engine in it. This truck is a key part of my
business and this past Monday it finally gave up the ghost. About 190,000
miles and I've worked it hard, no major problems till now and no complaints.
Have not dropped the pan yet, but I suspect that a piston will fall on my
head when I do - engine is a write off.
My question - does anyone know of a source for this engine, either
remanufactured or used. GM gave me an estimate of just under $10K for the
job ( $7400 for just the long block) and that's assuming that the existing
injection system and turbo are reusable. The truck is in good shape, but
it's a 93 and it's tough to justify that kind of expenditure. Any web sites
that I should check? I'm located in New Hampshire.
Thanks for the help.
LR Content - I started the Ser. 3 this past weekend. Started right up (more
or less!), need to do the front brakes, get it inspected and I'm on the road
for another season.
