DURAMAX 6.6L TURBO-DIESEL. There
are more than 1 million Duramax Diesel engines with Allison® transmissions on the road today with over 100 billion miles of experience. We’ve taken that proven power and perfected it in an available engine that churns out an earthshaking 910 lb.-ft. of torque, all the towing confidence you’ll ever need.
STRONG TO THE MAX. To create a
19% increase in max torque over the previous generation, we rethought nearly everything. Cylinder heads are stronger and stiffer, and our taller engine block allows for a more robust piston design.

445 horsepower and
The crankshaft has larger connecting rod journals, and an active drain crankcase oil separator allows for better operation when you’re pulling big loads.
HIGH-INTAKE INDUCTION SYSTEM.
The patent-pending induction system in the Duramax Diesel uses two air inlets — through the hood scoop and near the fender — to satisfy the intake needs of this powerful engine, improve performance, and help ensure water and debris intake is a nonissue, even in extreme conditions.
FLEX SOME MUSCLE.
SAY NO TO THE NOISE. The added
horsepower and torque are benefits you can feel. But we didn’t stop there. This engine also boasts reduced noise and vibration with acoustic rocker covers, isolated injectors and a full-length acoustic lower oil pan.
EXTREME TEMPS? NO TROUBLE.
Duramax glow plugs heat up rapidly and, together with Direct Injection, can help your Silverado HD start quickly in extreme cold temperatures. At the other end of the spectrum, the engine oil cooler, transmission cooler and turbo intercooler will give you confidence
when climbing steep grades in the hottest conditions.
THE LEGENDARY ALLISON TRANSMISSION.
To handle the 910 lb.-ft. of torque generated by the Duramax Diesel, Chevy engineers chose Allison, maker of military tank transmissions, to design and build ours.
VORTEC™ 6.0L V8 ENGINE.
This powerplant, with a cast iron cylinder block, deep-skirt design and cross-bolted main bearing caps, has been a dependable workhorse for millions of Chevy truck owners.
