Hi
The GM 6.2 family of diesel engines were in fact a product of the DDA division of GM. Their 4 cycle designs included the 6.2, 6.5 and 8.2 liter diesels. The connection for advertising purposes ended due to GM selling Detroit Diesel to Penske, but retaining the 6.2 v8 diesel separate from the deal with Penske.
Regards
Glenn
