As I understand the 6.2 was not a product of DDA, but GM tried to make it
appear as such. I have sales brochures (aimed at the military market) from
the early hmmv days for the 6.2 and it is clearly implied as being a DDA
product. I think they thought they could ride along on DDA's coat tails but
I don't think it worked. They seem to have dropped that marketing plan some
time after that.
If anyone would like to see the brochure, I could scan it (assuming I can
find it again)
