I know first hand, that GM is not planning on installing the Duramax Diesel into an H2, ever. End of story. However, Hummer is looking at many other Diesel engines that are used in other GM vehicle, or joint GM ventures in vehicles sold in other countries, trying to find one that would fit, and be a good engine
for this application. GM is planning on having a diesel in the H2 someday, but don't hold your breath for the Duramax. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>I have heard all kind of different stories. I have heard where they are trying to get a little more length to the engine bay and try to drop the engine a little more so an intercooler can sit atop like in the H1.
Also, I was told at a party last night that GM has built a concept pickup on the new GMT-900 platform and that they have a Silverado with the Duramax in it producing over 700lbs of torque and the also put a new 11.5" rear end under it to handle the power. So, if they are beefing up the 3/4 ton and 1 ton pickups, some of those parts should make it over to the H2.
