The 6.2 might be a little better because it wont have the electronic IP on it. Wont have as much power though. Depending on the rear end, an older 6.2 will get anywhere from 17-18 city and 20-24 highway. The 6.5 turbo should be able to do about the same, once again, depending on the rear end. Now my 1 ton 6.5 truck will only get about 12 no matter what its doing, but it has 4.10 gears in it. Kaleb, Please tell me why the 6.5 has less power? IS that by design, or due to people tweaking the mechanical IP of the 6.2 for more fuel delivery? Moreover, can you tell me how to find out what the rear end ratio is before taking delivery of the truck!? Thank you, Omar.

The 6.5 has more power, its turbo. You can find out the axle ratio by looking up the RPO codes that would be on a sticker in the glove box. http://www.angelfire.com/ny2/96transam/rpocodes.html Kayoooh wrote: Message: 14 Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2005 11:49:02 -0600 From: Kaleb C.
