this is one of my family member's 6.2 L suburban diesel. I belive it is a 82? it has spent its whole life in michigan, it was never driven unless it was across the farm to the lake, or a hundred miles or more. all original, it has 190,000 on it. they bought it new. just thought it was a neat machine!

Looks good for an almost 30 year-old vehicle from Michigan!

Looks to be in great shape. Those old square Suburbans are becoming popular again around here for restoring.

6.2L Diesel?

My dad's 81 Silverado had the 350 diesel in it. In fact, my mom's 80 Impala wagon did too!

Yep. It was before the 6.5L (which later had a turbo added I think; I don't think it started out being turbo-ed).

6.2L
The original 6.2 L (379 cu in) Diesel V8 was introduced in 1982 for the Chevrolet/GMC C/K trucks and was produced until 1993. The 6.2L diesel emerged as a high-MPG alternative to the V8 gasoline engine lineup, and achieved better mileage than the General Motors 4.3L V6 gasoline engines of the 80s, at a time when the market was focused on mileage more than power.
