Don't know if the story is true but I'd heard that GM took such a bath on the diesel engines that the Gov't bought the CUCV to bail them out & the engines were so bad that part of the contract was for a spare engine with every unit produced.
Really? That's odd. I don't believe it because like Joe says the motors had a great track record. Now the 5.7 gas converted to diesel was a pile of turds!
