We're not entirely trusty what to attain of reports regarding Isuzu's tie-up with General Motors for diesel engines that seem to conflict with one another, but here we go anyway. According to Bloomberg, Isuzu is considering whether it should modify its render stake with The General for the creation of large-displacement Duramax diesel engines.

PickupTrucks.com adds that GM has its possess superior aggroup of diesel engine specialists that are full capable of designing the automaker's incoming onerous duty pushcart engines. In fact, the 4.5-liter diesel that had been planned for light duty applications was totally engineered by GM. Okay, got it.
