I purchased my 96 6.5 K2500 Sub a couple years ago when it had 178K on it and I knew nothing about the truck prior to purchase. Since then I have put approx 130K more on it and the only thing I have needed to do was tires, a water pump and an alternator and some smaller things. I have not touches the injectors or IP at all.

On the highway I have gotten as much as 19.5 mpg and the only modifications done has been to straight pipe it (no muffler / no cat). If you need to haul anything and that is why you want a truck, the 6.5 will return good mileage with the cheapest up front cost.

It has started after cold soaking for a weekend in -30*F without plug in, and with only 2 or 3 seconds of cranking. It runs all day and all night without problems. I just wish diesel were cheaper.
