Isuzu partnered with GM in the early 00’s to build diesel engines in Ohio. Total disaster - GM had to re-engineer a lot of the production facility to get any decent engines out of it at all.

I was there.

Draw your own conclusions.

In the late '90s I did contract work in the GM Janesville plant, where they made Suburbans, but also box trucks. I witnessed both Isuzu and GMC trucks coming off the line. They were virtually identical. Interesting that GMC doesn't want to partner with Isuzu on this one.
