As you likely haven't worked on many GM HD 6.6L Duramax pickups which is not a surprise at all because there has been so few problems with the Durtamax/Allison combo and because the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada GM truck assembly plant has NOT built GM HD's for years now, 2008 was the last. ALL GM HD pickups, gas or diesel, are built in the USA with the 6.6 Duramax diesel powered HD all being built at Flint, MI.
A superb CC LB 4X4, GM HD Diesel, airbags, Rancho's, lots more

your right haven't worked on many mostly because i don't choose to work on alot of newer trucks other than to pull and replace transmissions and transfercases and the newest d-max i've worked on is an 06 so could be why they all said assembled in cananda on them and as it is I'm getting ready to put the third t-case in a year in one, this time is in the 06 and just put t-case and allison in one yesterday

And the selection is done by a group of magazine editors and writers with zero experience in all but a narrow segment of the business.
It is a bit of a joke, isn't it?
Why... I should have submitted a triple expansion engine for consideration.
Then maybe you should, but they got it spot on with the 7.3 in the middle of the pack, but then I must be biased because I own one, but then deep down you are sold on the 6.0 , but the 6.0 is a bit of joke in some circles. So who knows who's got the joke on who.

Most of that web-site is out of date!
It shows the GM C-series and T-series trucks, neither of which has been in production for AT LEAST a couple of years.
Last time I looked, Opel Astras used a Fiat 1.9L diesel, not an Isuzu.
The 360HP D'Max was the LBZ, introduced in 2006. Limited Izuzu involvement.
The LMM engine development was totally internal to GM.

Yes it is historic. LMM was supposedly internal, a lot of doubts on that.The Opel Astra 1.7 Litre was an Isuzu.1.9 came from Fiat/GM tie up. GM wants Isuzu expertise on bigger diesel engines and possibly trucks for South America and Asia.Isuzu and GM have still been cooperating, even after their"break up".
