And still made the hd models in 2002

It's not so hard to part people from their money anymore. This type of persuasion isn't required.

Is the 454 in that model a good engine? Contemplating buying a 2000 k3500 with that engine in it with less than 100k miles on it

Very good I have a 2000 K 3500 with a 454 I’ve got 230 on the odometer still run fantastic

Yes it is a good engine as long as you take care of it and keep up with all the maintenance

The 6.4 couldn’t have been junk, Chevy never made a 6.4 diesel but my 6.5 has 362,000 on the clock now it’s no powerhouse like today’s diesels but it’s all I’ve ever needed

@@dieselwrench3621 heard the 6.5 had oil pump issues but atlest it's not a 6.2 or 5.7 them were the worse

@@jjlawnservice5229 never had mine go out I also own a 6.2 got around 225,000 before I sold it, now the 5.7 you would be better off with a Briggs and Straton in your truck

@@dieselwrench3621 I heard the 5.7 got better too late but there r too many bad ones out there because they made mostly bad motors I can't remember what the main issue of the 6.2 was even the dmaxx my dad has a 6.6 lly all together bullet proof if u can get it to hold an injector easiest fix is to put the lbz injectors in it the lbz and lly were the same motor biggest difference was the injectors the lbz had upgraded injectors in it

@@jjlawnservice5229 the 6.2 had some head gasket issues and not much power but great fuel economy now the 5.7 that Oldsmobile introduced had a plethora of issues some rumors say it was a converted gas engine but it wasn’t, it was built as a Diesel engine but things like only having 10 head bolts per side caused blown head gaskets a chain driven injection pump was another complete failure among other things but the best diesel I own besides my 6.5 Chevy in my 2001 ford 7.3 it’s pushing 500,000 and still running good now it is loosing some of its grunt but hands down the best engine I’ve in a truck I’ve owned 👍
