opinions on OBS Chevy Diesels

I am trying to trade in my 4x4 dodge ram on a 1997 Chevy Dually with a diesel. Anyone have an opinion on this engine? It is the 6.5 turbo diesel but it has right at 200k on the clock. Any opinions or what to watch out fors?

Good motor. Watch for Injector pump, injectors. Glow plugs. Blow by...

blown turbo and ^ ^^

i sold my 95 suburban with 6.5l and it had 365k on it...

injector pumps, (the module specifically), and don't run them hot. i'm not sure if the 97 has the updated cooling system, mine didn't and would run dangerously hot when towing up a hill.

i really liked the truck tho, no complaints...

Injector pumps like everyone else said and check for any blow by
