Yeah, as I recall there was a minimum acceleration rate and the ability to climb a hill some minimum speed.

I don't recall what those specifics were.

It was a turbo diesel, I edited my previous post so it shows that.

They had to do alot of work to get the diesel to put out the power needed and still meet the emissions requirement.

It would be an interesting project.

I've got this whacky idea of cramming a diesel out of a Dodge Sprinter into a Trailblazer.

It wouldn't get anywhere close to 50mpg, but I would get better economy than anything I have, that I can use for a daily year round.


My, what a steep learning curve. Erik II#5155
