I found this tow truck almost a year ago on Facebook Marketplace and thought I needed a tow truck. Then along came Bernie and the squarebody got pushed into the weeds and forgotten about. Until now!! Let's see if we can get this thing to roll coal once again! This truck has been SOLD! As always, thanks for watching!

@drive42 9 месяцев назад

You might consider using a rubber tipped air nozzle and shoot air into the glow plug hole on each cylinder to see where the air is going. That would tell you whether the head gasket is bad. A 6.2/6.5 is an indirect injection system, meaning the injector sprays fuel into a pre-chamber instead of right on top of the piston. The glow plug heats the prechamber, which gets the fuel to ignite and start the engine. This is also why the glow plugs are needed year round. Going back to the beginning of the video, the previous owner said the engine was locked up. Perhaps it was hydro-locked from coolant entering the combustion chamber from a blown head gasket. In the time the engine sat, the coolant seeped by the rings and let the engine spin. The 6.2/6.5 diesel wasn't a bad engine as long as they were not overloaded, had good glow plugs, and clean fuel. We had one in a 1 ton 4WD we used to pull around a tub grinder, which was WAY too much weight. After replacing a couple engines, we bought a GMC Brigadier with a L-10 Cummins, problem solved. The other 6.2s we had that weren't abused were pretty dependable. I still would't want one, though.... Great video! Mojo kind of reminds me of my 91 year old Dad, who up until a couple years ago was still tinkering on things.

@stevenlatham4397 9 месяцев назад

6.2’s were way better than the 6.5’s. I’ve had a few 6.2’s that made it over 300k. With modern diesel fuel lacking lubricity, adding used motor oil helps them tremendously. Yes, they were absolutely gutless, but they did get excellent fuel mileage. Manual transmissions behind them is rare. I just recently got rid of a ‘93 GMC Z71 that was a 5 speed. It got 24mpg. I only got rid of it because I couldn’t find a harmonic balancer.

@Jacksonkellyfreak 9 месяцев назад

After a long day I finally got back to finish the video. What kills 6.2s is cracked main webbing and broken cranks. It'll either fly apart or lock up. Also I see you learned the lesson of never shooting ether onto hot glow plugs haha. Fortunately it was just an open hole, but it can blow intakes apart or on some of the Ford idi engines blow the injector cup out

@LonRods 9 месяцев назад

Usually pulling and installing new head gaskets will tell you more about the condition of the engine Block and heads. I'm sure injectors need to be taken apart and cleaned if the cylinder and heads are in good condition.

@markgerdes3402 9 месяцев назад

before pulling the pump the next time, remove the return line fitting on top of pump. check ball inside plugs up with material from inside the pump. it will start and run . the local chevy dealer and i took his demo, an 85 suburban with a 6.2 and 700r4. 3.42 rear, on a ski trip from west texas to colorado, and averaged 28 mpg loaded with people and gear. diesel was under 1 dollar / gallon.

@briantruck2284 9 месяцев назад

Good old days

@amadeo_serrano 9 месяцев назад

I often wonder if Deutz had the right idea when it came to preheating the F8L series diesels. Rather than a set of glow plugs, they used, essentially, fire to preheat the intake air. They had jets in the intake tubes that shot a flame in each tube to preheat the air and, in turn, the engine. Very effective providing you didn't use ether and blow out the intake tubes.

@derbymankg 9 месяцев назад

It didn't run, that's ok. You ventured in to the world of the 6.2 AND we got to see a great Mojo video. Men like him are irreplaceable, and full of incredible knowledge. Great video as always, Thank you!!!

Pretty sure the timing chain jumped, that’s why it doesn’t have compression. Can hear all the compression coming out the intake valves. Enjoy the videos even when there’s failures, we all get stumped sometimes and chase down the wrong rabbit hole once and a while. Except Duff, he knew what rabbit hole you needed to go down, just couldn’t explain it. Haha!

@kolt.45 9 месяцев назад

To add to your timing diagnosis, could the injection pump timing be 180 out? When they were turning crank to align dowel pin it would have to be two crank rotations to one injection pump rotation. It appeared they only did one rotation.

So true! The gasoline based 5.7 Olds diesel "unreliability" (read "horrible idea") did more to harm passenger car diesel sales in the US than cold weather start performance or lack of support. Expecting a gasoline engine to withstand the necessary compression ratios of diesel engines showed the silliness that made GM eventually file for bankruptcy.

More Mojo! The local cattle buyer bought a 6.2 brand new . He was a character and would go to the curling club and it would idle while he played his game and had a few drinks. Someone asked him about that and he said he only shuts it off in the heated garage. He would go to an auction and it would idle all day while he bought cattle and be warm to go home. Which may have been 14-16 hours. When asked if he worried it would get stolen he said no. One winter and it was traded.

Mojo teaching Mortske to repair diesels, what a cool combo. I'm sure the reason why it was said the engine is sized might have been to do with all the bad ground cables what where not hooked properly or a very weak battery. Too bad the engine was pooched, probably got used and abused.

A 6.2 Detroit. The main downfall of them is they were designed to be ran extremely hard..not light use, they get carboned up too easy...and will not start in the winter. Gotta hand it to GM though, they were the only company to make diesels in-house until just recently. It made the trucks way more affordable vs. Ford or Dodge

@RustyDreamsGarage 9 месяцев назад

Upgrading to 2/0 battery cables will solve the wires overheating (common issue). Never use starting fluid on the 6.2, wd40 works great. Cycle the glow plugs for 30 seconds for a couple rounds. I have some crappy videos on my page for the 6.2 referencing all the above issues.

Junkyard Digs recently posted a video of one with a 5.7 that they swapped with a 455 gasser. A while before that, they were in the background of Pole Barn Garage's video unsuccessfully trying to get it to run. They're turds, but there's a small group of people who love these GM V6 & V8s and still want the parts. Apparently the DX blocks are more desirable, but I'd imagine in a few more years parts will be unobtainium.

I’m looking forward to next summer when you and Puddin are cruising the Some Day Model A.

Good job guys! Fun to watch you take your trouble shooting knowledge and apply it to a new challenge. Those diesel engines are such a mystery machine.

The 5.7 DX block engine was plagued with problems until it was perfected in 1984. By then the American car buying public replaced them with the gasoline engines. So if you find a 1984 5.7 diesel, keep it. People claimed 50mpg in full size Oldsmobile cars.

When I was 16 my dad had a GMC squarebody that was originally a 5.7 diesel. It had been replaced with a 350 Olds Rocket. I can confirm it would do burnouts real good.

The SD-33 in my Scout has been incredibly reliable but it loves the glow plugs. It needs a good 15+ seconds of glow plugs to start in 80 degree weather and during the winter time I am sitting in there holding that button for a good minute or more. I also had to bleed the injectors on it when I had a split in the soft fuel line by the tank and it sucked a bunch of air into the system so I really felt your pain there.

I had a 1993 3500 with a 6.2 turbo. Great truck when you get it started. I installed a controller isolator kit because it was mounted to the engine and would over heat and fail. Second I thing i did was to build a bypass for the glow plug wiring. That was the key to get the truck functional. Always kept ether in the truck. I bought the truck from a South Dakota grain farmer. He used it to pull grain wagons. I install a reman engine. When I bought it it had two broken pistons, look like overheating issue.

I fully rebuilt a 6.2. Did everything tested and tested. Basically a new engine. Changed the oil every 1000 miles and replaced the left head gasket every time. Finally had enough, had it pressure checked a crack on the left bank just below the deck got super hot and keeped blowing the head gasket. Had two engines that did. They have more cracks in them then a church congregation. My opinion there junk. You say everyone's favorite square body, there not my favorite. But still love watching your videos keep up the gr8 work.
