I forgot to mention that the existance of Ford factories outside in Mexico can be squarely blamed on the UAW.
And lets not forget that "gem" that GM came up with:Adapt a Oldsmobile 350 block as a diesel.That thing rivaled the 301 for "Piece of sh!t of the decade" award.Well,.........maybe not.

Bill, this is not the first time GM went with Isuzu diesels : Chevy Chevette, LUV & S10 (yup they made a few)
Isuzu has a long history of making diesels, and despite my dislike of the aluminum heads the Duramaxx seems to be one hellova good engine.
Unfortunately Ford is going with aluminum heads also -
