Here's some more "older info":

Franklin Power Products To Remanufacture GEP 6.5L Engines
Franklin Power Products Inc., a Delco Remy International company located in Franklin, IN, has signed an agreement with General Engine Products (GEP), a wholly owned subsidiary of AM General, to remanufacture 6.5L V8 diesel engines and distribute new GEP 6.5 L "drop-in" engines.
The new 6.5L and remanufactured 6.5L V8 diesel engines fit a variety of applications in North America, including pickup trucks, school buses and commercial delivery vehicles. Additionally, the engines are used globally in a wide variety of military, commercial and industrial applications including the notable U.S. Military HUMVEE vehicle.
Under this agreement Franklin Power Products will be the sole factory-authorized remanufacturer and GEP will provide the technical assistance and components. The engines are currently available through Powerbilt, a Delco Remy International company based in Mansfield, TX. Franklin Power also plans to offer the engines through its existing distribution channels.
