Hemiman Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Looks like GM will be offering a V6 diesel in the future. Can't find many details, but looks to be an Isuzu built 4.9L V6 to power 1/2 & 3/4 ton pick-ups as well as Tahoes and Suburbans. Anyone know anything more about this engine? Is it a proper 60deg V6? HP? ...... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-150 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Haven't heard anything, although it's doubtful a diesel will show up in the Tahoe/Suburban anytime soon. Look for a hybrid Tahoe fairly soon, though. they way Toyota is kicking GMs ass, they'd be silly not to. That and Ford telegraphed a long time ago they wanted a V6 diesel in the 1/2tons. We also know that Toyota will offer a diesel in the redesigned Tundra. For GM and Dodge to not see this writing on the wall, they must be dense. I would expect that within 3-4 years, all of the halftons will have diesels.Any manufacturer not on board will lose out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was working in Germany a few years back and saw the International V6 diesel. At the time I was told this engine was for the new F-150. They even built an assembly line for this engine and a plant in Alabama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know it's still in the cards as a Jeep/Dodge engine. At first i heard it was to be a OHV Hemi, but now it looks to be a SOHC.

At first i heard it was to be a OHV Hemi, but now it looks to be a SOHC. They are converting the Trenton Engine plant to build a 4.0l V6 based on the 3.5l. Some clever engineer came up with the idea to modify the piston by relocating the wrist pin location. This allows them to use the same block as the 3.5l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
