Available as an economy choice in the D/W 150 and 200 trucks was Mitsubishi's 6DR5 4.0L inline six-cylinder naturally-aspirated diesel, rated at 105 hp (78 kW) at 3500 rpm, and 230 N·m (169 lb·ft ) at 2200 rpm.
Just as easily, the kit could be removed and re-used on another truck, and this was used as a selling point. The retail price of NAPCO Powr-Pak kit in 1955 was $995. Many companies would install them, the price rising from $1250 to $1550 with labor, bringing the total price for a new GM pickup from $1,548.96 for 2WD to as low as $2,796.96 for 4WD.
DMAX originally was announced in 1997 [1] as a 60-40 joint venture [2] between and operated by General Motors and Isuzu. Diesel engine production started in July 2000. [3] The company's Duramax V8 engine has been extremely successful for GM, raising that company's diesel pickup market share to 30% in 2002, up from approximately 5% in 1999. [4]
The International Harvester Company (IHC) has been building its own proprietary truck engines since the introduction of their first truck in 1907. International tended to use proprietary diesel engines. In the 1970s, IHC built the DVT 573 V-8 diesel of 240 and 260 hp (179 and 194 kW) but these were not highly regarded and relatively few were sold.
The B-series was the first Mack truck produced with a diesel engine, introducing the Mack-produced Thermodyne inline-6 in 1953.

Gasoline, CNG, and mid-range diesel engines were used. The short hood of the Loadstar meant that V-8 engines fit better than straight-six engines. The V304/345/392 family was the primary engine of the Loadstar between 1962 and 1973. They are 304, 345, and 392 cubic inches (5.0, 5.7, and 6.4 L) overhead valve gasoline V8s.
