GM/Detroit 6.5L – General Information – MAJOR COMPONENT GROUPS

The 6.5L V8 diesel engine consists of the following major component groups (figure 1-3):
• Mechanical System

Each of these systems was covered in detail in the prerequisite “6.5 Liter V8 Turbo Diesel Engine” training center course. Most of these systems remain unchanged and will not be covered here.
