Interesting. So does this mean the Cummins CR will be dead also? They do share the exact same fuel delivery system, programming, and ECM ya know.

I imagine the same stuff that Cummins is using to pass emissions Duramax will be able to use to.

There was an article in one of my Diesel Progress magazines awhile back on all the things Cummins was using to pass the emissions. Haveta go dig it out.

Well dig it out brotha.

BTW- the DMax that is slated to be put into the 2500 Suburban is already 2010 emissions compliant.

It would be cool if they would put his stroker kit in a Dmax from the factory.

IIRC the LMM is already compliant for the 2010 EPA standards.

I also read today that the suburban is getting the Duramax to be released in late 08.
