I will add to this post is that the "Diesel" engines GM produced in the 70's and 80's are the reason that the US consumer fears diesel engines.
They were shit. Known for injector problems, fuel pump problems, loud, smokey and generally just shit for engines.
GM and their cost cutting cheap ass "rush it to market" thinking is the reason why we can't get some of the GOOD diesels from Europe right now.
The MFG's always say the same thing " We don't think that there is a market for them in the US".
GM ( and the other MFG's) is and was full of Fuking idiots.
Ford seems to be the only one with a clue on the powerful small displacement engines.
