BTW Cummins is American, I believe the Duramax is Isuzu.
Have you ever had a 4BT? That thing will shake the teeth right out of your head. What good are Twins without supporting mods on a 3.9L?

6.6 Duramax engines are built by DMAX LTD. in Ohio, A joint venture between Isuzu & GM, Yes Isuzu designed the engine FOR GM, So what......Isuzu has a lot of light/medium duty diesel experience.
