Re: Project 67 GMC custom 6.5 turbo diesel

I wasn't knocking them really, just curious as to how they perform. I know you guys over there don't have a huge number of small diesel engines, the model after my current daily driver Isuzu Trooper had a diesel with a Caterpillar designed injection system on it thats absolutely atrocious and results in the sump filling with diesel to the point the engine starts to run on it until it explodes! Here in the UK we have a lot of diesel engined cars, both mine and the wifes dailies (2.0L X-trail and my 3.1L Trooper) are diesels and frankly I wouldn't go back to a modern small petrol again as I love the torque these things put out.
