Both of these trucks are powered by Isuzu engines. One just happens to have 3 times as much hp and 5 times more torque.

The Isuzu deal ended in the early 2000's. And it was a joint deal. That Duramax in that truck is all GM. Also, the Hombre is just an S10. So that engine is also all GM.

That’s a 1990 so is a real Isuzu.

Oh. The back looks nearly the same.

It’s easy to see how they cross pollinated. Very similar size and shape.

Eons ago, my dad had a ‘78 Isuzu Chevy LUV... the original engine made it to 160xxx miles before it bit the dust. We took my Mazda Ford Courier up to a place that was a repair/parts place for trucks, including - you guessed it - Isuzu and brought home a crate engine for the LUV. Naturally it had to be ordered, but as a teen I was amazed that a diesel truck place was able to get an engine for a Chevy built by Isuzu...

That truck would be terribly slow with the diesel. The stock gas 2.6 is very torquey and easy to drive.

The LUV had a 4 cylinder, 1.8 liter gas engine. The replacement that we got was actually the same block, but a 2.0 liter. No matter, it was still slow...
