We always ra the 6.2 and 6.5 as farm trucks and worked the hell out of them. We hada 6.2 with almost 400K on it with the stock engine, My Dad's '98 6.5 has 240K on it, and it is all original. Although I won't argue about the more power in the d-max. But the stock longevity was fair.


Kennedy diesel for upgrades.

Probably not. Because you can build a RAT motor out of a 454. The only thing is, is that if you add mods to a diesel they usually help mileage, while if you add mods to a 454 your mileage DROPS. just my .02 cents.
