Sounds like a rather easy conversion since these engines are already offered in the international market:
"While it’s unclear if the 2015 Colorado and Canyon will feature both the 2.5L and 2.8L diesel motors featured in the international-spec Colorado sold around the world currently, it will be one or both of these motors that the trucks will utilize. The smaller 2.5L Duramax mill produces 150 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque, while the more powerful 2.8L turbodiesel that promises 180 hp and a stout 346 lb-ft of torque, in the international Colorado."
