My 1995 6.5 Diesel K2500 'Burban. 4WD and 4.10 gears. 8600 GVW. Ordered it in March 1995 and bought it new in May 1995. Brought all the kids home from the hospital when they were born, took them all to college when they grew up. Towed a lot of Mopars, Chevies, and Pontiacs over the years. I replaced the original engine in 2017 with a brand new, upgraded, 6.5 diesel engine from the company that built them for the Humvee upfitting facility. It really hauls now. The upgraded engines have 18 to 1 compression instead of 23 to 1 and make up for it by using a higher boost level that puts out more power with less strain on the internals. They also have a completely redesigned block that has around 50 pounds of extra iron in it to make up for the faults of the original inferior GM castings.
I also had some humorous decals made up for the side since 6.5 technically is a "396"
