2020 - The Diesel Page's 24th Anniversary
Web Site Launched February 1996
Updated April 28, 2020
The Diesel Page is a member-supported web based magazine and enthusiast group, which focuses on all model-years of the General Motors light-truck 6.2L, 6.5L and the Duramax 6600 diesel engines. The Diesel Page has been online since early 1996 - the longest running GM Diesel web site and bulletin board forum on the net.
We're here to help you maintain and repair your 6.2, 6.5 or Duramax diesel powered truck, find solutions for diesel fuel injection problems, increase performance, locate the best and least expensive parts sources, repair and upgrade the Chevrolet and GMC light-duty trucks, and we'll help improve your satisfaction in owning a General Motors 6.2L - 6.5L - 6.6L diesel powered light-truck. If your interest is in the Duramax 6600, we have the most comprehensive collection of new GM diesel pickup truck information found anywhere. Our membership program also helps each of us share a common interest and learn from each other.
What we know came from a wide variety of sources - including touring the DMAX and GEP (General Engine Products - aka AM General) engine production facilities located in Moraine (DMAX) and Franklin (GEP) Ohio, discussions with diesel mechanics from all across the U.S. and Canada, time spent in local performance engine rebuilding shops, more than two decades of communication with countless GM diesel owners, and continuous first-hand ownership experience with the 6.2L/6.5L diesel engines since 1986 - and the Duramax 6600 since December 2000.
This is not a General Motors Corporation web site, nor are we diesel mechanics. In addition to owning a series of GM diesel-equipped pickup trucks and SUVs since 1986, our qualifications come from a broad-based technical training, professional automotive writing and photography experience, and a desire to learn more about the GM diesel engines. This web site does not sell replacement parts or aftermarket performance products for your truck. Instead, we provide the most valuable and unbiased editorial found anywhere for the GM diesel pickups and SUVs.
The GM light-truck 6.2L and 6.5L diesel engines were optional in the 1982-2000 C/K series pickup trucks, and in the Suburban, Chevy Tahoe & Blazer, GMC Yukon & Jimmy, vans, and even in Class A motor homes (RV) - in both turbo diesel (TD) and naturally aspirated (NA) versions. In addition, low cost and ready availability have made these engines extremely popular the world over for diesel conversion projects; powering Land Rovers, Land Cruisers, and a host of other foreign and domestic production vehicles. In addition, the Duramax 6600 has proven itself flexible enough to be considered for a variety of repower projects.
