    8.2L GMC engine questions

    I am looking at a mid 80s GMC 5 yrd dump truck that has a 8.2l GM diesel engine. I am assuming that this is a rebadged Detroit, but am not sure. Any opinions (either good or bad) on this engine. The truck has low miles (less than 50,000) and would mostly be used on our timber property.

    JD 650G Pedal Steer Conversion Manual

    Yes, that is why I'm interested in making the change. I also feel that I can be a bit more precise with levers than pedal - at least for what I'm using the dozer for.
