The 6.2 engine GMs (then) Detroit Diesel division designed was a basic, normally aspirated V-8 diesel with @ 130 hp and @ 250 lb-ft torque. These are not to be confused with the automotive diesel engines (350 V-8) that were such a problem in the seventies/eighties. I have not seen many around, although they were produced evidently from 1982 to 1993 and used in light duty Chevrolet/GMC trucks. Keep in mind you have asked this question in a forum that is primarily for Ford diesels so anything GM or Dodge is at an automatic disadvantage here.

From what I have come across they are underpowered, I do not know about reliability but the fact there are not many around tells me something.

What is the application you are looking at? That would indicate what you can expect.
