It won't be long before this engine goes the way of 3.0 Ecodiesel and Power Stroke.
If it does, it wasn't because it hasn't been a good engine. I think it is still around because of how good it is. GM went to the effort of updating it recently, had they planned to kill it, it would have made sense to kill it prior to spending the money to update it. That said, I am not saying that GM and everyone else doesn't spend money in a seeming moronic way sometimes. I think the EPA and politics have more play in what stays and what goes these days. It seems like the EV winds are changing somewhat from the promises made a several years ago. So maybe it will stay for a while.
