my name is Greg im located in British Columbia, Canada and i own a 1983 GMC 2500 6.2L with 298,000 kms, i believe she is dying, it just started making a ticking sound one day and now it doenst run very good, still runs though, i do have the option to put a newer 6.5L turbo diesel long block for $2800, seems like good pricing and it would be a nice little project,
