As of 12/14/2007 GM announced the 2010 release date. The 2500HD Z71 Suburban that is traveling around the shows is just a mock up to show people the concept.

OIC, well I hope they have it on display.

 

It will be.

 

Cool!

 

OK,talked to my guy agian he said that gm is loosing money with the duramax engine because gm is not building it the new motor will be tooled at gm plants and not out sourced.this may or maynot be true just relaying roumers

 

The Duramax has never been outsourced. It was designed and built by DMAX LTD which is a GM owned company that is 50% Isuzu Engineers and 50% GM Engineers. They aren't loosing anymore money than Ford or Dodge. You can Google Jd Power & Associates to get the exact figures on all three.

 

I don't think the Duramax is going anywhere anytime soon.

 

That's a fact brother. When they've already got the prototype designed for 2010 and the testing has already begun I'm pretty sure its sticking around.

 

When the Dmax is no more, is the same time the cummins and power stroke are no more
