    Diagnosis: broken con rod

    Looks like a GM 6.5. GEP started manufacturing the 6.5 in 2002ish, that was rebuilt in '09, likely a GM engine. I kinda doubt you can find an LS and switch over a slew of accessories for what you can buy a runtested pull out GEP 6.5 for.

    Diagnosis: broken con rod

    If your 6.5 is a GEP, then it is worth it to see if your machine shop can sleeve the damaged hole. Ancient GM 6.2s are not worth fooling with.

    Diagnosis: broken con rod

    Pull it and do a cost analysis between fixing what you got and installing a tested 6.5 HMMWV pullout from various vendors. Any number of reasons for the broke rod. Army loves to drive through bodies of water and the slosh rides over the hood to the air intake.
