I believe when T&P said 5.7 diesel he meant he has a 5.7 diesel. The 5.7 diesel was a GM engines brought out in the 80's that proved to be, like Turtle said, a junk engine. But, even junk engines sometime last 30 years without giving any trouble.
I had the pleasure of owning a 5.7 diesel. What a POS engine.
Climbing the grapevine one year I had big rigs passing me, uphill!
I owned one of the first. Big rigs would pass me going up the hills and I wasn't towing anything! Major engine problems before 10,000 miles. Traded back to a gas jobber after 6 months of ownership. Mine was a Cheverolet. Well that is what the bow tie on the grill said. However the tail gate said GMC. Came from the factory that way.
