Re: The (first?) Chevy Diesel was a Dud?!?

Oh yeah, i want a new motor bad. I was contemplating storage for this Frankenstein driveline before I got the balls to post this enquiry. Is this the first year for the olds-diesel attempt? Someone once told me the 78 Cadiliac had this Engineering brainstorm? First year products often fail.
When I was a machinist apprentice in the 1980's my boss had a new GM Diesel with consistent transmission troubles. Now that I have some Industrial Automation experience behind me, I know to stay away from first year production vehicles. Especially now that I own Charlene.
The man I bought the truck from suggested the same view about a 350 driveline combination. Since many Chevy's already have this from conception, I must deviate a wee bit.
Is the 4.3l vortex great on gas? Charlene's Character is not her Aerodynamics
