Finally, a rebuild and performance guide for GM 6.2 and 6.5L diesel engines! In the late 1970s and early 1980s, there was considerable pressure on the Detroit automakers to increase the fuel efficiency for their automotive and light-truck lines. While efficient electronic engine controls and computer-controlled gas engine technology was still in the developmental stages, the efficiency of diesel engines was already well documented during this time period. As a result, General Motors added diesel engine options to its car and truck lines in an attempt to combat high gas prices and increase fuel efficiency. The first mass-produced V-8 diesel engines of the era, the 5.7L variants, appeared in several General Motors passenger-car models beginning in 1978 and are often referred to as the Oldsmobile Diesels because of the number of Oldsmobile cars equipped with this option. This edition faded from popularity in the early 1980s as a result of falling gas prices and quality issues with diesel fuel suppliers, giving the cars a bad reputation for dependability and reliability. The 6.2L appeared in 1982 and the 6.5L in 1992, as the focus for diesel applications shifted from cars to light trucks. These engines served faithfully and remained in production until 2001, when the new Duramax design replaced it in all but a few military applications. While very durable and reliable, most of these engines have a lot of miles on them, and many are in need of a rebuild. This book will take you through the entire rebuild process step by step from diagnosis to tear down, inspection to parts sourcing, machining, and finally reassembly. Also included is valuable troubleshooting information, detailed explanations of how systems work, and even a complete Stanadyyne DB2 rebuild section to get the most out of your engine in the modern era. If you have a 6.2, or 6.5L GM diesel engine, this book is a must-have item for your shop or library.

Breathe new life into your GM Duramax Diesel with this rebuilding guide from CarTech's Workbench series. Whether you have an engine that is old and tired, are contemplating picking up a used engine for a swap, looking to hop up what you have, or simply want to understand the inner workings of a Duramax engine, this handy guide will be a valuable resource for years to come. Author and diesel expert Jason Gonderman takes you through full step-by-step sequences of the removal, disassembly, evaluation, reconditioning, and reassembly of both the 2001-2010 style of engines and the later 2011-2016 models. Also included is a history of all six generations of Duramax engines, as well as a chapter on performance modifications to this versatile platform. General Motors began offering diesel engines in its light-duty pickups in earnest in 1982. The engines were designed and produced by Detroit Diesel, and filled the role in C/K pickups until the 1999 model year. The engines were first a 6.2L naturally aspirated V-8 then grew to 6.5L and added a turbocharger in 1992. The 6.2L diesel achieved better fuel economy than the company's gasoline V-6 when introduced, and in 1982, fuel economy was a major factor in many people's buying decisions. Fast-forward to the late 1990s, General Motors decided it needed a clean slate in its diesel designs to keep up with the Cummins and Power Stroke engines being offered by the competition. To accomplish this, General Motors partnered with Isuzu to create a brand-new diesel engine that would be the first high-pressure common-rail, direct-injection powerplant to hit the US vehicle market. The initial engine was produced at the newly built plant in Moraine, Ohio, on July 17, 2000. Now, 21 years after the joint venture DMAX Ltd. was created in 1998, more than 2 million Duramax engines have been built. Until the introduction of the Duramax, GM's all-iron, indirect-injected (IDI) 6.5L V-8 produced just 215 hp and 440 ft-lbs of torque in its most powerful configuration. The new, aluminum-headed 6.6L Duramax V-8 hit the market with 300 hp and 520 ft-lbs of torque in its first configuration, and it has gotten stronger with age while still meeting increasingly strict emissions requirements.
