The third diesel engine in our tech article recap is GM’s 6.6L Duramax, which came on the scene in 2001. The powerlant, code-named LB7, was the first modern-era oil-burner to feature common-rail fueling (Cummins didn’t enter that arena in 2003), and it put out 300 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque.

As diesel-powered Ford pickups go, F-250 and F-350 rigs have been motivated by oil burners since as early as 1983, when a naturally aspirated, 6.9L, indirect-injection (IDI), International Navistar V-8 was offered as an optional powerplant. Those first diesels made a then-stout 170 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque, and put the F-Series in a
