Curious about discussions of new diesel (3.0) so went to the Chevy website to build a new vehicle. The Z71 only has a single engine option now. Diesel still seems to be available for ZR2 or LT. Curious.

They are running out is my guess.

The diesel is there in the 4x4 setup (late availability), not the 2x4 setup. I haven't looked around enough, but I wonder if they are doing it just like GMC Canyon AT4?

Good to hear. IMO, the Z71 4 * 4 diesel offers a great combo of a good handling, good rough roading/bad weather vehicle with a low ratio of empty weight weight to GCVW.

In 5 years, if the 3.0 looks to have great reliability, great. I was a semi early 2.8 adopter, but I'll let others do the honors with the aluminum 3.0...

I predict the 3.0 will be very lucrative for service writers.

Engine now manufactured in, you guessed it CHINA

Very well could be. Who knows?
