I would prefer the full size 6.6 with 400 hp and 750 ft lbs of torque,if anybody cares .And a 6 speed Alli would be nice too.

Western NY = Tonawanda, NY. Large GM engine plant located there.
Start of build in 2009 equates to a 2010 model year truck. But, will it be in the H2 in 2010? :D

Re: New GM Diesel slated for trucks, H2 in 2009
 

think its closer to 300hp and 505lbs torque...

Re: New GM Diesel slated for trucks, H2 in 2009
 

the ones produced today are 365 hp / 660 lb-ft; or at least that is for the New Sierra HD3500

WELLLLLLL, I'll be damn'd. 2010 though? That's a long ways away.

It is only 2.5 years away. But since you go through Hummers like chewing gum, I guess for you it would be about 2-4 hummers away.:giggling:

Yeah, I saw that article as well : http://www.technologynewsdaily.com/node/7169

Interesting; I'll believe it when I see it.

I was close guys, I said the 09 H2 will have a duramax.....

Who was it out there that said the H2 will never have a diesel?

That sounds like my next Hummer. I'll wait until the second year of production so they work out some of the kinks in the new motor....if I can stand waiting that long!

Just think of the sound......and towing.......and slow crawling.....

Re: New GM Diesel slated for trucks, H2 in 2009
 

I said they will never have a Duramax, and that may still be correct. All depends on if GM can market the name Duramax. Right now, it is only called a Duramax in one or two articles. I know I have never said they will not have a diesel, since I have known for quite some time they were going to have a diesel.

Translated: They'll probably put the new engine in the Sierra/Silverado first (more bang for GM's buck), then most likely the H2 the following year (2011).:shhh:

Re: New GM Diesel slated for trucks, H2 in 2009
 

:iagree: YEAH!!

There's an article on hummerguy.net too.

Re: New GM Diesel slated for trucks, H2 in 2009
 

Now lets have a contest on how much GM will bang us for that diesel option:

A. $3,000
B. $5,000
C. $6,000
D. $7,000+
