I had to work on many and did work for a local Chevy dealer late 70s into the 80s. We had many severe problems all the 350 diesels until the "law-suit" engine came out in 1981. Flat cam, roller cam, big injectors, pencil injectors, etc. Head gaskets were the biggest issue. Also injection pumps and that problem wasn't fixed until 1985. GM got sued for making such bad engines and they redeveloped the 350 diesel with the new DX block. From what I saw, they were pretty good. But by 1981 -few truck owners cared. The new 6.2 diesel designed by Detroit Diesel was coming out. And - unlike the 350 Olds diesel, the 6.2 was available with 4WD, 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks. Plus ATS and Banks made turbo kits for the new engine.

I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
