Any dates on the release of the new Dodge 1500 with diesel? I would love to have a 4X4 diesel with the exterior bed storage bins!

Looks like I found my own answer. May be available in Sept. 2009 for model year 2010.

Read a post some place that Dodge put the new V8 diesel on hold until 2011 do to a shortage $$$$$.

 

Too bad they aren't smart enough to just drop a 4.5l I4 ISB. can you say "parts interchangeability"? they only have to make a front geartrain version.

 

And as of right now they are being held for production for another year or 2 because they don't meet emissions... Damn EPA

 

very nice information on diesel auto parts this is a great view on how a diesel engine works from different brands.

 

Any updates on this topic?
I'd love to have the option to purchase a 1/2 ton diesel PU.
