New AM General - GEP Optimizer ™ 6.5L Diesel Engine - Non Turbo Naturally Aspirated Engine (or light duty Turbo Engine)
Rapid Fulfill Now = In Stock or Next Available Stock
This is the latest version of the 6.5L engine still produced new today.
Available through our Rapid Fulfill Now service where long block engines
are kept in stock and when not in stock you can save on the long lead
time of producing one as units are already in the process of being built
to replace missing stock. When not in stock expect a 2-4 week lead time
(much shorter than the 6-8 weeks on ATO engines).
This engine has a lot of versatility in that it's a direct replacement for the many Non Turbo 6.5L applications used from 1994 - 2002 in C/K Trucks, Vans (G and P series), and some other applications. This engine was also used up to around 2010 is some P Series Delivery Vans. The replacement engine is also suitable for all 6.2L Diesel applications as an upgrade from the 1982-1993 135-155HP 6.2L engines to an updated engine that is capable of producing 170HP nearly smoke-free without a turbocharger with appropriate matching fuel injection components. This is the PS version of this engine which stands for Piston-Spray in that the engines have piston oil spray cooling which makes this engine more suitable for turbo 6.2L replacements and 1994-1999 Vin S 6.5L Turbo applications where fuel economy is a preference (versus the heavy duty emissions engines).

oil, new engines come with break-in oil in the pan, so engine must be
un-crated and drained of oil and a new filter installed (that is dry).
Addition
of timing tab for mechanically injected engines. The factory cannot
modify this assembly as it's intended for electronic and mechanically
injected engines. We can optionally add the mechanical timing tab to the
front of the engine's timing cover with special tooling and have it
match TDC for timing with timing lights, We do this and add the plug in
the timing cover to delete the crank sensor opening.
