From what I can read here, The 6.2ltr would be a better option. I have some concerns about the compression ratio on the 6.5ltr and seeing 3 different ratios would make me personally stay away. If you have a look at the bottom of the link you will see some common faults over the 2 engine types. Keep in mind that the 6.2 was a earlier engine made during the fuel conscious 80's, and as long as it has/is maintained, would give better fuel mileage.

had a fun thing at work happen today dealing with my car. walked out of my hanger to go pick up my new pair of glasses from the medical station on base and came upon 2 guys syphoning the fuel out of my tank and talking about putting sugar into my gas tank to get back at me for getting promoted. needless to say i caught them in the act of doing this and these 2 idiots called the MP's.
funny thing was they has the balls to tell the MP's that it was their car and were putting gas into their empty tank. MP's actually believed them too and tried to arrest me until i opened the car and got my car paperwork and showed it to the MP.
i have not been this pissed for a while, but this shit just tops the cake.

"To get back at you for being promoted"?
What?
Do they mean that you backstabbed them to get the promotion or something?
Also you don't mess with someones car, playing pranks to get back at someone is fine but you got to keep it at a level that doesn't interfere with their daily lives to much, salt in the sugar or chili in their coffee things like that...
One more thing, shouldn't you have more credibility since you are higher in rank?

what pissed them of about me getting promoted is that i made them stop with all the harassment they were doing against me.
the fact im a sergeant and they are not means they have to follow the orders i gave them and it pisses them off.
also kind of hard to backstab to get promoted when we are in 2 different units and different MOS's.

easiest way to say it is they are loosing time, rank, and pay.
lossing time, means extra duty and restriction to quarters and trust me that shit gets enforced big time
rank is just that, most likely they will go down in rank
and pay means that their paycheck can get cut in half for 2 monthes with that lost pay going to the wonderful place known as the Armed Forces Retirement Home a wonderful place where our great men who served before us live out their days treated with dignity and respect.
i would like to thank retard 1 and retard 2 for their gracious donation to help these great men.
i'm actually being serious if you get UCMJ against you and they take your pay, it actually does go to the AFRH and help offset the costs.

I found a '86 Chevy Blazer/M1009 with a 6.2 Detroit Diesel for sale at a local dealer and I was wondering if anyone can give me any information on the 6.2 Detroit? I also found a Chevy Venture van for sale and when I told my brother about the Venture his words were "You want to drive a fuckin' minivan?!?" I would drive a minivan so I can haul the stuff I need for my jobs.
I cannot comment on the 6.2 diesel, as I'm not too familiar with diesels in general.
I also assume with a 6.2 that is a full size blazer and not a S10...
But if the Venture is newer (I believe 1st year was 1997), as long as in decent shape and will fit the needs, I would likely take that over the Blazer... you are talking 27 years for that Blazer, and the minivan will be smaller and more maneuverable and likely less of a guzzler in comparison. I grant you, that blazer could get through stuff no minivan of any era could, but I would not think it had much life left in it.

My father in law absolutely loved the early-mid 80's GM diesels. Some of which he had way over 200K on before the chassis they were in fell apart due to MN rust. He had more trouble with their trannys than he ever did the engines. Too much torque for the poor things and wore them out. I don't know which size motors they were though to be honest.

Apparently you might have to run a fuel additive as the injector pump is not compatible with new US ulp.
Constant visual attention to the harmonic balancer is a must they will tear the rubber and then you will have a busted crank. Use only GM or a Dorman balancer, Allegedly NAPA ones go bad in a couple months so stay far away from them.
Check to see if either ac-delco or bosch duratherm glow plugs and no others, as they tend to blow and leave the tip floating in the cylinder, also the ohm range of the plugs must be consistent or you will have trouble cold starting.

well folks the old car finally gave up the ghost, between engine issues where the rpm would drop to 500 then jump back up causing a noticeable jerk when it happened, the engine sounding like it was about to seize up, both bearings in the front wheels going out with the passenger side one going out and broke some shit like the various rods down below for alignment, which in turn caused the right side rotor to start wobbling around and actually start eating into the brake calipers. and where some asshole put aircraft turbine engine oil into my cars oil system a week ago and the repair bills were to much for me and way above what the car is worth.
the damn thing is off to the scrap yard.
although after much pleading (me telling her I was getting a truck) I managed to get the wife to agree (next vehicle she gets to choose) she let me buy this baby today.

As for what I'll carry mainly anything I need to but on occasion a shit ton of weapons and ammo. Gotta be ready for shit. Zombies, sparkly vampires, the British coming for that bit of back taxes, the Koreans, the mother in law, my ex's, and can't forget those damn velociraptors.
