Can a starter off of a 6.2 fit on a 6.5? Just wondering, I have about 4 6.2 blocks with good starters, just wondering if they would fit.

AAHHHHHHHH............Music to my ears, thank-you very much, that saved me about $300.00. Should have my truck back on the road tomorrow afternoon, finally. Thanks.

Yeapper they will fit BUT be sure you are using a gear reduction starter and not the earlier direct drive type.

Your right as well and I wasn't saying they wouldn't BUT you will have shorter life and more problems with the Direct Drive type and I was trying to direct him to the better starter.
Sorry for confusion

ONce again no disagreement here but the cheapest way isn't always the cheapest way if if fails while on the road, I was suggesting he look for the best fix cheap.
