4.5L Duramax on Indefinate Hold
- Thread starter EFI Support
- Start date
I don't believe it, because I have seen way too many 4.5 blocks to believe the infinate hold. Do you really make 20,000 of something to set on the shelf? 
If you go out of businuess YES. Just like Studebaker and AMF had stock piles of motrs cars and trucks all layin around when they went out of businuess.
that's what I was wondering... affraid to guess a chickenhawk = firechicken = firebird. I suspect that's not it... gonna go hit up the search and see what I find.

I thought you were car guys..... It's a Studebaker.....
damn now the 1/2 ton diesel pulling class will be dominated by dodges.
i could care less about anything else.
but this really does suck. I dont know if id buy one but it makes me smile everytime i see a new dmax owner and these wouldve generated many more.

I am not a Studey guy, and I wasn't built tell 86 so I am pretty sure they weren't around anymore.
Ford 1/2 ton diesel here I come. Was liking the 1/2 ton GMC, but will go with Ford. I will eventually ditch the current truck since the specs on the Ford diesel will allow me to:
Ditch the 5,500 lb truck camper (dually required) and ATV trailer holding 3 ATV.
Get a truck bed cover that will allow me to hold three ATV on it with some over hang and pull a 9,000 lb travel trailer.
I'd get more room in the travel trailer, better MPG when only hauling 3 ATV on the bed.
More storage in the bed with 3 ATV on top of the bed.
Better MPG empty on a 1/2, it will fit in the garage, and will also allow me to replace my AWD Subaru and 1 ton with a winter friendly, MPG friendly, crew cab 1/2 ton. Saves on insurance, and would get better mpg than the subaru .
Modded, the 1/2 would probably be quicker than the Dmax.
And a 1/2 ton would definitely be around town, parking friendly compared to the CC, DRW, LB that I currently have.
What a bummer on the baby duramax.

Didn't Ford put the 4.4 on hold?
I can't wait to see how the 6.7 Scorpion does, it should hit the market by august....

Ford has already stated they will either be the last to offer the diesel 1/2 ton or will most likely not do one at all. The Dodge is the only 1 I see comin out.
I doubt like heck that the 4.5 is on infinate hold, and they ain't going out of business anytime soon.
