Well I had one of those "totally" redesigned 6.2
engines in a 1983 k10 from brand new.
Between all the oil leaks and antifreeze leaks external and internal. Had head gaskets replaced 2 x by maybe 40-50,000 miles. Somewhere around 30-40,000 miles the rear main leaked so bad I finally dropped the pan to fix it. I got very dissappointed. I owned this thing from day 1 never let the oil go longer than 3,000 miles keep it pluged in for cold starts and when I pulled the rear main it looked very rough surface. More than likely dirt in it from brand new. Then to pull out the shell and see it marked UNDERSIZED on a brand new truck this took the cake ! Somewhere around 50,000 miles it started blowing compression into the coolant. Pulled the engine and put a 327 in the truck. It never ran better and only lost a few miles per gallon. I still had numerous other stuff go bad.
I finally got smart and sold it and then bought a 1996 ram 2500 with a 360 gas that allready had 80,000 miles on it. I now have 160,000 on this truck and it has been the best I've ever had. Still rattle and squeak free ! No oil leaks either !!!
I'm glad you had good luck with your GM's or maybe you just like working on your truck all the time. GM is not my favorite company or product.

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel. ...
