He says this has a "rare" Diesel V6 option... but there was none.... and that dosn't look like the HT4100 in the enigne bay either....

Anyone have an idea? I think its pretty neat.....

The 8th digit of the VIN numbet is a "T" which designates that this car is in fact a 4.3L diesel that they did offer in this vehicle
hope this helps

I believe the 4.3 V6 Diesel (85hp) was available in '85 and '86.

Yeah, Bro-Ham had one with the 4.3, and he said it was a great, smooth motor, a total contrast to the 350 Diesel.

My book shows that 4.3L V-6 Diesel available in only 1985. I didn't know there was a Cadillac diesel other than the V-8! But 85 HP and 165 lb-ft would be a dog to drive!

OTOH, it's really rare. Of course, there's a reason for that.:)
