Marty I think you're looking for Sterling. We have a Sterling 4500 in our company. It is simply a Dodge/Cummins with a different grille. They are no longer sold.
Not sure where the GM 8.1L falls emissions wise. Pretty sure it wasn't emissions that halted production. Instead it was the low "take rate". Buyers weren't interested. I don't know why. I have one and it is a beast.
This is just speculation on my part but judging by the OTR trucks demand for new glider kits and pre-2008 Cats, Cummins, and Detroits, GM would be wise to offer the 8.1L as an option to the people who would prefer to not have the DPF and DEF issues. I don't know how many V-10s Ford sells but we considered buying one because of the past issues we had with the diesels. I say we considered it but it wasn't really a serious consideration, that conversation lasted less than a minute. It was just the fact that the V-10 was the only viable gas option for trucks above the 3500/350 series. We didn't consider the HEMI in the Ram. And the Chevy Express 4500, gas or diesel, was way too light for our needs.
