OldSub Cruising in the Passing Lane O Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Seattle, Washington	Originally Posted by 379MV6GMC-K3000 My 6.5L V-8 turbo diesel only turns 190hp@3,600rpm & 380tq@2,750rpm. I guess the advantage of this gas powered V-6 is that it performs like a Diesel except for the fuel consumption... I don't know how your 6.5 is geared, but I wonder if it would perform better if the torque peak were lower in the RPM range. 1955 1st GMC Suburban \| 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project \| 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic \| 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE \| and more... It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
