Maybe this will push GM into un-shelving the 4.5L Duramax they had designed and tested for 1/2-tons and Suburbans.

Once my wife and I have enough kids they don't all fit in the Subaru, I will be wanting a Duraburb... whether I can buy it or have to build it.

Not being all that familiar with the various domestic diesel engine producers, I was wondering if anyone is using International diesel engines since they seem to be very reliable in commercial applications.

Ford has been using combine/school bus engines since they first introduced their first diesel.

Ford did until 2010.  

They've since moved back in house.

Navistar (International) built the diesels that Ford used in their Super Duty trucks.

Yup . . .

Even the small Rangers we got here in Panama with the 2.5/3.8/3.0l engines, all were PowerStrokes . . . had to take the engine out of the vehicle to replace the injectors . ..  almost non rebuidable, the ones for the above mentioned engines

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

"Industry's only light duty diesel".

ROFL. The rest of the world has had small diesels for decades.

As a Ford fan, I always wondered why they continued the Chrysler/Cummins deal.   ???
