I thought it was interesting.
Yup. I don't know enough about the current small displacement duramax engines, how ever the current design which requires pulling the trans to access and do the maintenance on a belt, is just not service freindly. Not to mention a costly repair if your purchasing the vehicle 2nd hand. In my opinion also makes the vehicle less desirable and likely hurts resale.
Which part the vice grib hood art or the cartoon movie ??

The movie. The hood ornament is cute though...Which part the vice grib hood art or the cartoon movie ??
That s cool. I kind of wonder what it sounds like
This is the kinda shit GM should have been doing. They are experts at reusing stuff from multiple platforms. This is right up their alley. Would be perfect for 1/2 ton trucks, Tahoe's, etc. same parts as it's big brother so cost should be low to develop. Turbo would obviously need to be sized correctly. New crank and block of course. But so much else is the same
This is how our spring break looks next week, in Costa Rica ?.
I can see one of those Indian clans plopping it on the back of a skiff
You mean those guys in sandals in a dirt floor shop repairing an engine crank shaft by welding it up and grinding it down and reassembling it without any cleanup? Washing parts in diesel and no gloves? Those guys? ?
Speaking of which, Dave's Auto just did a major service on one of those new 3.0L where they changed the wet belt....
I leaned on that unit at PRI for a couple minutes I believe.. When I see billet, my brain automatically goes to never enough cooling passages for marine use. But that one looks to have some potential use.
I imagine they're all related
Half the time I see them building engines outside too
