You Duramax folks need to give a shout out to Isuzu for the Duramax. It was a co-op project after so many failures of GM's diesel programs for the Light Trucks. At the time when they decided to put diesels in the light trucks they owned Detroit Diesel. But no, we converted a gas 350 to a diesel and there long run of mistakes came to an end when they partnered with Isuzu.
Maybe so, but GM has held on to the Duramax contract and put a very good diesel engine into a very good truck frame and sold a very good product. I personally don't like GM products, but there is no denying the fact that the D/A combo in a GM product is a fine machine.
Strange though that I owned an Isuzu Rodeo with a GM 3.2 liter V6 engine with inadequate oil drain holes throughout the engine. Because of that design flaw, the GM 3.2 engine would burn oil due to carbon buildup (or so it was explained to me). Isuzu makes quality engines used by GM, GM made an engine with a design flaw used by Isuzu...
