VM Motori makes the ecodiesel, as well as the new small duramax

[Escape.idiocracy]

Mods-feel free to delete the short link if needed.

I saw a few guys making comments a couple weeks back about reliability of the new ecodiesel- and I found it ironic- we have had a VM Motori 2.8 crd since new in 2006- Liberty…

the gladiator has been running really well and I don’t see any major long term concerns (outside of the same concerns surrounding the emissions components…)

Anyway, few folks were saying the 2.8/3.0 duramax is a better motor. Seems to me like they likely have a lot in common….
I can’t find anything on stating the comments made on this short AREN'T true….
Maybe this is common knowledge and everyone already knew this. ??‍
I think it will be handy next time the diesel competition discussions come up. ?

Here’s an article confirming the origins of the 2.8 being VM Motori but says this about the 3.0 Duramax:
“The Silverado and Sierra rely on the 3.0-liter Duramax, which is a clean-sheet powerplant developed in collaboration with Opel, the German automaker that General Motors owned until 2017. As a brief refresher, Opel and Vauxhall were both purchased by Groupe PSA, the French automaker that now goes by the name of Stellantis due to the 2021 merger with Fiat Chrysler.”
