WE'RE HERETO HELP New Diesel Engine in 1982 Trucks A new 6.2 liter V8 diesel engine for Chevrolet light-duty Pickups, Suburbans, Blazers and forw ard- con tro l chassis w ill be o ffe red in 1982 models. “ The new engine— developed by Chevrolet specifically for C M truck use— is designed to deliver the pulling power typically associated with comparable-size gasoline en gines and the fuel economy and ser vice life inherent in the diesel con cept,” said Robert D. Lund, Chev rolet general manager and a General Motors vice president. " T h is is a heavy-duty diesel en gine,” Lund added. " It will provide our customers with the power and load-hauling capability o f Chevro let’ s gasoline-powered trucks with the diesel's traditional fuel economy advantage. The engine is ideal for city delivery, stop-and-go work with considerable idle tim e , extended highway driving, and trailering o f up to 13,500 pounds." E P A estimates— in different ap plications— rate the engine from 18 miles per gallon city to 3 1 highway. The diesel is built at Chevrolet’s new M o rain e , O hio engine plant, where microwave technology is in corporated for the first time in the ignition timing procedure o f every diesel engine produced. The procedure assures unmatched precision and consistency o f the combustion process and helps the engine meet stringent federal as well as California emissions regulations. The engine features a Stanadyne m echanical fuel injectio n system with Bosch pintle-type injector noz zles and a Ricardo-type precombus tion chamber. Seventeen bolds (five per bore) se cure the cylinder heads. A fast-actio n glow plug and a block heater are standard equip ment. Oil and filter changes are required each 3,000 miles for engines in ve hicles o f less than 8500 gross vehicle weight (G V W ). or each 3,000 miles for heavier-duty applications. Other essential m aintenance is s ig n ifi cantly reduced since there are no spark plugs, ignition wires, distribu tor points, condenser, coil or carbu retor adjustments. The bright red engine with its dis tinctive barrel-shaped air intake is available in: • A ll two and fou r-w h eel drive one-half, three-quarter and one-ton pickups. •A ll Suburbans •A ll one-ton chassis cabs •Four-wheel drive Blazers. Later in the 1982 model year, the engine will be available in step vans, and both com m ercial and m otor home chassis. The engine is one o f four d iffe r ent diesels available in 1982 model Chevrolet trucks.
