Why is that? Just curious, I've been thinking it'd be cool to put a 350 diesel
into an S truck but that would probably see quite a few highway miles.
Is it because of lower speed running or stopping and starting?

By 81, the Olds diesel was a good engine.
And I understand why your friend kept 2 pumps around. The engine uses a
rotary pump. The pump will go 100,000's of miles on the highway but
50,000
city miles will wear out.
I owned a 81 Pontiac Bonneville with the Olds diesel. It was one of the
best
cars I've owned to date. I killed the engine at 150,000 miles.
Thanks,
