Up to 2001 the electronic indirect injection 4BD2T was an option in the GMC 3500. This is just a 4BD1T with electrical injection

This means in the USA at least it is legal in a D2 built before 02:D
Now as the gmc is just a rebadged Isuzu would it be legal here On any D2 OR defender built before 02?:angel:
