Default Chevrolet Blazer 6.2 V8 DIESEL

I'm looking at one but can't find any power/torque figures for them...

Mind you, I think 6.2 liters of V8 dieselpower coupled to an autobox should do the business really

Does anybody have any info on them?

My mate had a 1999 Chevy Suburban with this engine,his was turbocharged too as standard.I dont know the BHP or torque,but I will tell you that it did 18 MPG just tooling around taking youre time.He never towed anything with it,but it felt powerfull,so I'd guess it would lug a house!! According to this website they have 190 BHP

Hope this helps,regards,Micky

Is it turbocharged?
I know the Ford 6.0 V8 Powerstroke turbo diesel was almost 600lb ft and 300bhp. That could give you a rough idea? The engines sound like busses with a massive turbo noise!!!

Doesn't sound too impressive...

The one I'm looking at is an old model, ex army vehicle.
mega mega reliable apperantly but also megaslow by the sound of it...
