    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Have no idea what just happened Spun out in my K6 Blazer, literally did a full circle when I hit black ice. No, did not hit anything (im okay), though i did pull at the wheel hard. The 6.2 shut off though my radio and power was on, I turned the key and it started normally, went about my...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I was going to say, I run 15w40 almost always, heck, I even ran it like that last winter (i know, I know) but if 5w40 really is that harmless.....shoot, maybe its time to switch to it. I currently use Rotella T6 Synthetic Oil

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Off topic. As of last week, every morning the temperature of when I start the 6.2 up has been around 25-35°F though it does go up to 45-50°F by mid-day. When would be a good time to switch to 5w40 or 10w30 oil? Im in SD, and the winters here (which is approaching) are brutal, so im trying to...

    The spare 6.2 motor: As ive mentioned before, the 6.2 in my 1990 K5 was swapped out of a 1985 K5 itself, when I bought my (90)K5, the other (85) K5 came with it aswell, though we couldnt keep the other (85) K5, nor there was much to salvage (interior was wet and had mold) we yanked the motor...
