The General Motors and Detroit Diesel V8 is a family of 6.2 and 6.5 litre diesel V8 engines that General Motors introduced in 1982 for its C/K pickup trucks and built through 2002, when the Duramax line replaced it. It was developed with GM's subsidiary Detroit Diesel as a fuel-efficient alternative to the gasoline V8s and was designed to install in place of them, using the same mounting and transmission attachments as other GM truck engines. The 6.2 litre ran from 1982 to 1993, and the 6.5 litre arrived in 1992, usually turbocharged, with an electronic injection pump from 1994. Both used indirect injection into prechambers. It also served in Chevrolet and GMC vans and Suburbans, and a military variant is still built for the HMMWV, which the civilian Hummer H1 also used.
