Although I like the D-Max , I'm still skeptical of the longevity of an aluminum head on a diesel. There have been million mile International powered Fords and Cummins powered Dodges, but I have yet to hear of a D-Maxx doing that and wonder how they'll hold up for with those heads.
Every diesel Ive seen taken down with aluminum heads always seems to have cracks.
There's a reason big diesels stick with cast iron heads.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
