I think they're affiliated with each other - maybe GM owns Isuzu? The Chevy LUV truck's engine was made by them too.
Remember the Hombre?
Yeah, never was impressed with any Isuzu, really.
It's a Brazilian S10 made in 'Merica.
Going to school as a student, and I assume this would be your only vehicle, and you are asking about spending $7k on a 6.5TD $hitbox? With no AC? Run away.

I think most development was originally done by Isuzu, but GM owns the engine and production, and it's installed in GM trucks. I'd say that disregarding it as a "GM diesel" is looking at it closer than I understood the original comment to mean.

The whole LUV was Isuzu. I've always been disappointed that GM didn't build our 4x4s with front drive being disconnected at the wheels, like a live axle, like they did with the IFS LUVs. Shifting in and out of 4wd was immediate on my 81 LUV, but I have to wait on my manual transfercase 99.
Yep, chevy Luv is a rebranded Isuzu; I think most of the early small trucks were but i don't remember exactly. My dad back in the day had a sbc stroker swapped chevy luv for street racing. rebuilding my dads old chevy luv for him is for sure one of my life goals.
