6.5 td in 1998 k3500 crew cab duelly 4x4. 524000 and hopefully still many more. Change the oil every 3000 and keep the rpm down . She will last forever. Straight 3" pipe and using 100-1 two stroke oil to lube the pump . Relocate the pmd if not done yet. Saves a whole lot of grief. Everything is as it left the factory.

195000 on my 95 K2500. Turbo just went on it. My old 93 had 325000 on it before the trans took a dump, they're pretty reliable as long as they're taken care of.
