I've still got four vehicles on the road with the 6.2 diesel. Great engines - not very powerful, but they last forever (almost), easy to work on, and parts are cheap. I see some shops now are recommending 6.2s as replacments for the 6.5 because the 6.2 blocks have thicker castings.
My 87 6.2 Suburban finally bit the dust a few months ago - with 512,000 miles on it. Going down the highway at 75 MPH, with no warning - good oil pressure, engine cool, and no noise - it set up something awful. I suspect the crank broke in two. But, with that many miles on it, I'm not even going to bother pulling it apart.
