I love Cat engines, but they are not going to be put in any of the Big 3 for a while. I new one guy he swore that his PSD was a Cat desin, then another person claimed their PSD had a Cat Carbuerator, I though PSDs were "fuel injected"?

Les: At the risk of nit picking, Cat uses Navistar designed injectors. Cat manufactures them for us under a licensing agreement. These are first generation injectors. The new engine will have second generation injectors manufactured under a licensing agreement with Seamans (spelling may be incorrect) -- a German based company who, as I understand it, is building a plant in South Carolina for the manufacture of these injectors.

Joe, you are absolutely right! Ford used to have a stake in Cummins but not any longer. Miller Andersson is their largest share holder at 23%.
I doubt any OEM will install a Cat engine in a P/U anytime soon. US02 emissions take effect Oct. 2002 and Cat won't have an on-highway engine of any size available until 3rd quarter 2003. Cat would be foolish to try to penetrate such a small market. Truck engines make up 45% of their engine production which is 35% of their total business. An engine of this size would most likely be a Perkins engine anyway.

No, in fact the duramax does not have a carb. And the durmax was first designed (the prototype) buy a company that builds tugboat engines. But I think (could be wrong here) the final product was built by isuzu. I think it's because GM never could build a good diesel, or at least one that didn't leak oil eveywhere!
