L56 is the 6.5 turbo diesel and it has the 4L80 too. Silverado, and a six way power drivers seat.

Nice truck. I've never owned a 6.5L but a good friend bought a 1994 Suburban new with a 6.5L and I was his tech when I worked at the dealer and when I had my own shop. Just sold it last year with 350k on it. Over the course of 28 years I replaced 1 injector, a PMD, a battery cable and an AC compressor. Changed the oil religiously using Shell Rotella. Still had the factory water pump on it when I sold it for him.

Good to know, thank you! Mine has already had a PMD relocation with a new PMD (I accidentally found where they put it, behind the front bumper)
I need to disassemble and clean my injectors. My truck has sat unused in a barn for ten years! It already has a new fuel tank, lift pump and filters. Once it’s running it runs great.

I had a 95 Silverado N/A Diesel. Thing was a beast. 19mpg. Still kinda wish I had it, but now I would need more seats.

Wife begged me not to get rid of it.. But it had to go, I lost my job back in the obummer recession.
