BEST 4x4xFAR is off the scale
Default Re: diesel

I'm holding out hope for a nice turbo diesel. I personally agree with the original poster, and feel a nice modern turbo diesel would be an excellent engine choice for the H3, especially if offered with a manual transmission. Clean, considerably better fuel efficiency, excellent off idle torque. I doubt that GM will be able to have the vision to see the possibilities though. They are only doing it in Europe because the truck would be doomed without it there. Europeans love their diesels, and for good reason.
