H3 Alpha 4.5 Duramax diesel
Since GM is taking the new 4.5 Duramax to the H2 why O why don't they also put it in the H3 Alpha. They have already modified the engine compartment to take the small block and the new 4.5 is being developed to fit in the GM pickups that have a small block gas V8 now. Just makes sense to me. How about changing the 4.10 gears to a 3.85 and add the six speed 6L80 or 6L90. Then you still have the low end for climbing and about 28-30 mpg on the highway. Pretty much a slam dunk to me!!!! Anybody got any thoughts on this????

If they would do this I would trade in a heart beat
Sad, but true. Funny, though.
