GM sold Detroit and Allison a while ago…

I really didnt think the Power stroke 6.0 and 6.4 were bad motors. I didnt see any long enough to have problems and I never towed with them. The 7.3 Powernational motor sucked tho. Then again, The old GM 6.5 was much worse. Dodge has the right idea. Buy diesel motors from someone that has been building them for years. I always wanted to see a mini Detroit in a GM pickup. 2 stroke diesel FTMFW!
