... I am in a place that I cannot talk about. Doing things I cannot talk about. And that I cannot take pictures of.

BUT I am staring at pallets full of NEW 6.5 motors attached to transmissions waiting to be deployed who knows where. GM tagged Melton engines. Mechanical pumps too boot!

I want one!!!

Needless to say this motor is alive and well and we should have parts available for a long time :)
 
The military isn't getting rid of many 6.5s yet. quite a few 6.2s though. I got 2 or 3 of the "Melton" rebuilts when I bought the 8 military 6.2s.
 
The military started replacing all 6.2 that croaked with non turbo 6.5 sometime in 2002/2003. But, the way they change there mind who knows.

I would love to have a spare military 6.5! :thumbsup:
