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!
Could have been worse...my uncle had a Cutlass with a 4.3 V8 diesel in it. 2.26 gears, 3800lbs, and about 90HP.
It ran much better with the Olds 403.
