Rumored ‘Big-Block’ Duramax Diesel Could Be 8.3L and We’re Off the Rails Now::You’d expect diesel engines to get smaller as time goes on, but recent reports claim GM’s truck power plant could grow by more than a liter.

Why are we celebrating this?
If you read the article, you would see that larger diesel engines have lower emissions due to reduced compression ratios.
So big vehicles are good now. Can’t wait for cigarettes to get good again.
An engine increasing in size by 1 liter does not make the vehicle itself larger. These vehicles exist, that is not changing. Manufacturers are working to make these engines more efficient.
There you go.
If you don’t understand mechanical engineering and take your own knowledge of engines as being better than the calculations of literal engineers…
Are we celebrating this? Looks more like just reporting on it to me…
