If I remember correctly it was a V6 but I have slept since then. (Can't imagine a 4.5L V8 anyway). All of the Big 3 were rushing to get the market on light duty diesels. I am sure they all were struggling with some issues. The "band aid" as I call it was an adequate fix but I am sure that any delay would nave seen an improvement in regards to the original problem.
The GM 4.5 diesel was (is?) a V-8. http://www.duramaxdieselspecs.com/duramax_4500.html Seems like a great engine for 1/2 ton use -- 310 hp and 520 tq puts it close to the original 6.6 Duramax in output. If GM will put the 4.5 in a 1500 Suburban, I'll be first in line to buy one!
