M1045A2 year 2000 what engine?

[Bravojmc]

Sorry but was wondering what engine was in a 2000 M1045A2? 6.5 GEP?

Original is not a GEP.
Some pics of them were painted black, so they were the GM re-built engines.
Some had GEP's as replacements.

My M1045A2 was reset in Barstow and has a black intake manifold.

If still the factory engine, it's could be a GEP, but possibly a leftover GM from 1999.

So being it has a black painted intake manifold it’s rebuilt?
truck was reset at 3046 miles and now shows 3050miles...

My 1045A2 is a 2012 Barstow reset and has a Melton rebuilt 6.5. 7 miles since reset.

Thus far, all the Barstow resets I have seen have Melton rebuilt engines.

are they worth a dam? And would it be a GEP?

Nope, the GEP engines differ from the GM 6.5s.

From my perspective, I’d rather have a “fresh” rebuilt GM 6.5 than a worked over GEP. I also have a Melton GM 6.5 in my M1123A2 with 9 miles since a 2011 Albany reset and both A2s run strong.

I also have a 1989 M998 that went through a 2007 MME reset that I bought with a nuked GEP, so they are not infallable.

YMMV

How do you like the 6.5 with the four speed? I here the M1045A2 will ride better than my M998... Is this true?

I think the 4 speed is the most noticeable improvement. I have 6.2s that seem to run as strong as any 6.5, but a 6.5/4L80e combo is the tits. Unless you are talking about a 6.5 Turbo/4L80e

The 10.3K chassis definitely need a little weight to smooth out the ride, so I imagine the hardtop helps.

How long did the EUC for your M1045A2 to clear?

 

[desmodromic]

6 days

 

[Bravojmc]

6 days

USMC unit correct?
This is my 3rd EUC but was told it will be a longer wait for my M1045A2 because my EUC is checked by the usmc also. .... odd..? I’ll post the email tomorrow...

 

[desmodromic]

Correct. I received the same warning with both my USMC trucks, but the 1123A2 cleared in 11 days during the height of the processing delays this past summer. Somebody just posted tht their 11/29 USMC purchased just cleared yesterday, so maybe the Marines channel is actually picling up the pace.
