From what I have read, It would seem that a replacement 6.5 is hard to come by. The power is marginal and a quality rebuilder is hard to find and if you find one the time frame is way out.
it would seem that the Dodge engine outperforms the Chevy and is readily available.
If this is the case would anyone know of a kit that can be bought for this type of swap. Also, which engine should I look for?I have no clue as to the type or size Dodge would be best.
My 6.2 is running fine but the lack of power is frustrating at times. I really notice it when I'm towing my trailer in the mountains.
I love my truck but need more power.
If anyone could tell me which engine to use (year/size)I would appreciate it.
Thanks
