6.5 driver
I think my first comment was correct. Any time you buy a used vehicle you run the risk of someone modifing or just plain fixing it wrong.

Hope you didn't toast the bearings....
We had an old 6.5 that blew the oil cooler lines on the highway and by the time we shut the engine off and coasted to the side of the road, the damage was done....needed a new engine.
Hope the truck is treating you well besides the age problems....even the 07.5 DMAX has small engineering faults that need to be looked at when I get time....

that chunk is kind of the end of that block. dont even try it you will wind up with a window in the block this is the voice of experiance! a differant block can be purchaced cheap usually at the local gm truck dealer they may have an old warrentee block laying around they will dump on you if you promise they will never see you again if not craigs list can produce results but if you are going to put the time amd money into a hotrod a block is an important investment
