Diesel with no Dinging

The little-respected diesel got a powerful makeover this year when General Motors introduced the Duramax, a lightweight and fuel-efficient engine that signals a new era in light truck design. The turbocharged 6. 6-liter engine, the world's most powerful diesel, produces 300 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque, which makes towing a cinch. The direct-injection engine runs so smoothly that it's nearly free of diesel clatter. It is available in the new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 3500-series pickups.

Ok I even give them the benefit of the doubt (even though we all know it is BS) that is is the worlds most powerful diesel.

The most important part, even more important than power, is that it runs well, stays together, and starts every time you want it too. I'd bet money that the Dura-junks won't hold up even as well as a Powerjoke.

Keep in mind that Popular Science is "politically correct". Popular Mechanics still has some good content though.
