New GM Diesel slated for trucks, H2 in 2009

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?

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).

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

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

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.
