There's also an 8.1L BBC and a CAT C7. But I still don't think they have a med duty truck offering anymore? Check the commercial truck traders, lots of the C7500 have BBC conversions listed as the engine option (what motor do you think they converted from?). There are lots of C7 Cat engines, very few Dmax. It's just not a medium duty diesel platform, that's all. Probably wasn't really ever designed to be. The Cummins platform is a true med duty diesel platform, designed that way from the jump. The variant they put in the dodge truck is so heavily detuned, its not even funny. I'm not a duramax hater or anything, but you can't deny the Cummins platform as a solid performer? You can hate on the many people that do silly things with their cummins powered dodges, but not the platform as a whole. Its a proven and reliable diesel engine family.
