Not so on the Chevy any more Steve. The ened of production for the 6.5 TD
was in 2000. The Duramax (a 6.6L V8 turbo intercooled common rail DI
engine) is only available in 3/4 ton and larger pick ups. While the Duramax
is a very nice engine, at 300 horsepower and 550 ft lbs of torque, the
4L80E heavy duty transmission just couldn't handle it. They had to put a
heavy duty allison behind it and thus it will not fit into a 1/2 ton PU or
SUV. It will be very nice when the v6 version of the Duramax hits the
market. Cheers, Joe.
