They own, or used to own, Detroit Diesel which made big diesels. Also, the 6.2 and 6.5 diesel was a Detroit Diesel.

Didn't they try to dieselize the small block and stick it in a buick or
caddy back in the 80s.  Had lots of problems I recall as lots of the parts
were not intended to take the extra beating a diesel subjects them to.

  Anybody remember the last time GM came up with a diesel on their
own?
