Where can I buy a 24V for $2500? I'll take all I can get at that price, any 5.9 sells for $3500 in my area. The only truly reliable 5.9 was 94 to early 98 with the P pump. The early rotary VP was power limited and failure prone, the later VE was handicapped by the crap Dodge supply pump. The later common rail system was pioneered by the Duramax. The Duramax trucks were what forced Dodge and Ford to put a real drive line in their trucks. What good is a 300K+ engine when it is bolted to a 50K transmission? I believe if GM would have straight axled the HD 4x4, there would be no Ram truck today, the Super Duty line may have died with the 6.0 if not for the straight axle. The IFS is the Achilles heal of the GM HD line.
Comparing the 6.5 to the 5.9 is not apples to apples other than the fuel they burn. The 5.9 was designed as an industrial engine. The 6.5 was designed for weight, size, fuel mileage, and have the power of a 350 gasser. When looked at like that, the 6.5 Turbo did it's job. I have one I serviced regularly that was past 350K when I told him to ditch it because the body was shot. Engine was all original, including the pump. He ran a quart of ATF in every tank of fuel since it was new. Your failure prone 6.5 was probably due to a bad harmonic balancer, which was then transferred to the replacement engine to work it's magic again. The rubber breaks down on the balancer, then the crank breaks. The largest problem with the 6.5 is the cooling system, it has to be tip top due to the hot nature of a pre-combustion engine. Same as the IDI 6.9 and 7.3 Ford.
