The 6.2 is all mechanical so you just hook up the fuel line, return line and electrical things like starter ect and you're good to go.
This is true. The afore-mentioned 6.2 Suburban broke an alternator belt on our trip at about 3 am between Lakeview, Oregon and Winnemucca, NV, which is 212 miles of nothing! The battery eventually died, lights and radio went out, etc, but the diesel kept on chugging. We couldn't stop, because we knew we couldn't start it up again, and one can wait for hours on that road for someone to pass by. So we just drove the 150 miles to Winnemucca to get a new belt. Fortunately we had a full moon that night!
**sorry to get off topic, just good memories of that trip!**
