No, unfortunately for some, news groups are for trolling. If you weren't
trolling then you were doing a pretty good imitation. Netiquette say you should
read a group for a while before posting. Had you googled for diesel in this
group you would have found the topic beaten to death. (Then stomped on, kicked,
and finally burned to ashes in a smokey cloud of diesel fumes <lol>)
My post was meant to be a humorous poke at what the regulars will recognize as
an old, boring topic that for some strange reason brings on some rather long and
sometimes smokey responses. <g>

Re: Diesel GC??
I wouldn't go so far as to call the Liberty Diesel completely modern.
It still has a bit of the old can of marbles characteristic.
Somewhere [?Autoweek?] ran into a rumor that DC was building a modern
turbodiesel aimed to have more power than the VW V-10 TDI unit. *That*
might make a good fit for future GC or Commander.
Still, I wonder how they deal with engine braking, or more correctly
the lack thereof without a Jake Brake.

When you shut the fuel off in a 22:1 compression engine, you can bet your
a$$ that you get braking.. The "Jake Brake" was invented for trucks, where
you're trying to stop 10 tons & up... not too common in a passenger
vehicle. It simply is a force multiplier.
