The 350s used to break cranks - some people with conspiracy fears suggested
GM did it deliberately so make people avoid diesels. It seems to have
worked!
But some people have gotten phenomonal life from them.
You'd think someone like the General could build a proper diesel - after
all, they own "Detroit Diesel" - which feeds the conspiracy.

The 5.7 was a gas 350 converted to diesel. They gave diesels a bad name
. From what I understand though even those are OK once they are sorted
out properly. The 6.2 was a diesel from scratch. Built by Detroit.
Seems people either love them or hate them. I have NEVER had trouble
with a 6.2. Others will say they are junk but thats probably because
whoever was working on them didnt know what they were doing. GM really
didnt support the dealers as far as educating them on diesels.

seriously, are the 6.2 diesel engines any good? I remember at some point
that GM converted gas engines to diesel with poor success....
