VERY few. They have the 6.2L Turbo Diesel that has no technology comparable to the Duramax. I thought I wanted one too; but when I investigated them, I found them to have horrible maintenance track records, and very poor mileage.

IMHO, search continue the search for a 1996 or later Vortec 350 powered truck. 1997 has dual front air bags, so that is even better.

They built a few Tahoe's and 1/2 ton Z71s with the 6.2 diesel. Think I'd rather have the Vortec 350 though...
