The revolutionary 4.5-liter turbo-diesel is put on indefinite hold as a result of GM’s economic woes.
GM Shelves Small Duramax Diesel V-8


That 4.5L Duramax from 2009 is rated higher than the 5.0L Cummins Diesel that is to be in the upcoming Nissan Titan and Toyota Tundra (300hp/500 lb-ft tq).

GM could have been the first with the 1/2 Ton diesel. But now they can see how everything plays out with the Ram Ecodiesel.
That 4.5L Duramax is a good looking engine
