There's always going to be someone out there who can say something good about anything but....
I will stand by what I said. The 6.2/6.5L is one of the worst diesels ever produced. Very problematic/unreliable and underpowered.
And Wayne. If I am the troll here, what does that make you? I never bashed anyone but you went right ahead and bashed me.
This is a discussion about the GM diesels. Plain and simple there will be various opinions about it.
Now with that said if I "Gave $432 for it. Spent another $1000 making repairs" I would be plenty happy to drive that. Overall you got a truck for less than $1500.
The idea of a 4BT is a good one but not for towing 20,000.
The 4BT Cummins is a great 4 cylinder diesel. The power potential is up there but you better have deep pockets if you want good enough power to tow alot. If you are in need of a truck that can tow 20,000 lbs, I would advise you look elsewhere. By the time you get your older GM diesel to do it you could have a Duramax and way less headaches.
