We don't need bigger or more powerful diesel engines. The engines aren't holding back what the pickups can do. Just make them more reliable.
But that would make sense
Cadillac 500/8.2 Liter V8:🗿
Maybe the bigger anchor up front will add enough weight to control the 8million pound trailers they would advertise it could tow
i’m thinking they can run lower boost and clean up emissions and run them at a lower tune
Totally agree. One thing sadly overlooked by reviewers are the DEF, regen and other emissions system hassles and their costs, all of which have ruined diesels for me.
How about galvanizing the frames so the truck doesn't rot out in 6 years? 🤔
Then they can’t sell you another one in 6yrs
@@pryme2013 yessir. buy rinse repeat
If you're living in a climate with that much corrosion you need to occasionally wash the truck. Saying the frames rust in 6 yrs is a little melodramatic.
how about you not use salt on your roads like its a Columbian prostitutes?
I don’t understand why in 2024 they can’t apply a type of epoxy to the frame & underside that will seal out the salt & brine ? This is not rocket science I believe it’s planned that way so you can buy another in 10-15 years. Lol
The DPF will be a 50 gallon drum.

@@cptbuiltk7944 You're assuming these systems actually do anything for your lungs.
An 8.3L Duramax sounds so sick. Not gunna lie when I clicked on this video I saw 8.3L w/ a GM truck and thought it would be an 8.3L V8 since I didn't see the megamax on top. Either way, though, that would be awesome.
Of course it’s gonna be a V8!!! All their diesels are v8.
@@hardtarget2359 Except the 3.0L like they mentioned
@@bhswarrior94 true I always forget about 3.0 inline.
I want a 7.4 gas Chevy.
AND CUMMINS TOO!!😂
As emissions become more stringent, more number of exhaust treatment systems will be introduced on to the engine which leads to higher back pressures, so to tackle that increasing the displacement seems logical as the engine doesn't need to stress that much which reduces nox emissions plus you will get better towing capabilities as well
Regen emissions systems are smoke and mirrors. They are designed to make the unthinking accept the BS idea that EVs are a rational replacement for the internal combustion engine.
…… and operating at higher temperatures which kills an engine. It’s almost like people are waiting in line to throw their money away.
i dont think they will need too many exhaust treatment systems. theres a company (i forgot the name) that is experimenting with hydrogen injection on diesels, which will reduce the amount of NOx and CO2 emissions the engine makes, which means maybe we can get LESS exhust treatment systems. of course the only way to completely get rid of those systems is to convert to a supercharged hydrogen combustion engine with water injection. the water injection on an HICE engine completely eliminates those NOx emissions (hydrogen alone already makes zero CO2), nd hydrogen engines love boost, which is why it would be supercharged. then they cn strap a beefy hybrid system to it for more power
To hell with all emissions. Federal fraud. Makes them money and cost consumers. Make diesels normal.
@@mikeburke932 facts. There’s ways to tune diesels so no black smoke is produced, making them as clean as possible with no emissions equipment on it
From 6.6 to 8.3 litres is a big jump in size. I could imagine GM bringing out a new engine that is around 7 litres or so and design it with the ability to increase the capacity later.
GM doesn't have a 6.7 .
Where did he say 6.7???
@@DLVRYMN I think it's 6.6L
From 403 cubic inches to 506 cubic inches
400 cubes to 427 isn’t worth the time, they’d at least need to go for 450
Anything daily driven or actually towing heavy, 500/1000 for hp and torque is plenty.
The after treatment systems need to be the most reliable they can make it.
No, 1000hp is barely livable daily. 1500hp seems a good all around number.
Bigger engines might be a strategy to improve general reliability.
I’m a sometimes truck guy. Sometimes I need a truck, sometimes I don’t. The ridgeline is enough for all the truck like things I would do. My closest friends are diehard truck guys, towing boats and travel trailer weekly during the summer. One of them has a GM 6.2 Denali pickup he tows with and it he tells me it’s the best truck he’s ever towed with. My question is why does 1000 lb/ft of torque have to be the standard and not something around 600 that’s reliable?
@@Heffelz8 Because it’s more. I mean, that’s it. That’s the answer. A Ridgeline is a minivan with the back half cutoff up top and formed into a “bed” so they need like 250lb-ft.
When you’re towing in excess of 20, 30,000lbs, torque is king. 600lb-ft works, 1000 works better.
And all things being equal, more torque is more reliable and in theory more economical; if you only have 600ft-lbs, the engine has to work harder to maintain 70 where 1000 doesn’t. This is all prefaced by saying with torque limiters and tuning, you’re not rolling around with 1000ft-lbs. It’s capable of making that….
A lot of fleets run low power, thinking they are saving fuel and saving parts. And it’s the biggest lie ever told and not realistic in any version of reality.
@@wyo_garage20I’ll keep this in mind whenever I see all the trucks towing 30k lbs down the road. I think it has more to do with auto manufacturers attempts to have “best in class” when in fact 95% of people will never use their trucks to the extent of this. You answered it exactly as I thought somebody would, defending it as “better” without addressing how much power 600 lb/ft really is when comparing it to 1000.
I'm happy with the power my 2023 3500 HD Duramax, LT trim, has. But, there are people who always want more. But at what cost? Truck prices today are already insane.
Some people are too fixated on numbers when they should be fixated on reliability
Why mention the trim when talking about engines 🤡🤡
So is a pound of ground beef
Those that are well equipped don’t care about the price😎
that’s not what’s driving up the prices it’s the technology and the bills and whistles.
If they are building an 8.3, I think it would be more for a medium duty application. I could see them doing something more like a 7.0 liter for the 2500 - 5500 trucks.
Competition with. Cummins in medium applications is more likely than a 2500/3500
Yeah this is definitely for the 4500 and 5500.
I think they'll go over 7.3L if for nothing less than marketing reasons.
Light duty (2500 & 3500 and even F550) engines are the same in the medium duty (4500+ Chevy or F650+). I would love a 8.3L Duramax but if it’s a hybrid will be a maintenance issue and will never sell.
Exactly. If true, it would be used for medium and heavy duty trucks, not pickup trucks.
How about these manufacturers put more effort into quality! These diesels now a days have way more then enough power. Most people don’t even use them to their potential.
Power sells!! Unfortunately the Big 3 have convinced the masses that they need the power of a semi truck to tow their little boats and campers. Just remember when you see an older 10 wheeler dump truck towing a big trailer with 40k lb excavator on it, that truck only has a 7 to 9 liter engine in it and at most the 9 liters makes 1200 ft lbs. 15 Liter semi engines make around 1600 ft lbs. No need for the ratings in these pickups other than marketing hype!!!
I like the hybrid idea you guys talked about.
I could see it working really good for guys like me were I use a truck more for a daily driver than towing a RV trailer
How about we focus on making them more reliable? Power is the least of our concerns
They should make the L5D 350 hp detuned duramax an option for the 2500 and 3500 trucks , it will still get the job done just fine with 700 lb ft torque and be far more reliable
Make the transmissions and electronics more reliable too.
It’s impossible to make dpf systems reliable
An under stressed larger displacement engine should last longer.
GM is doing exactly that ....reliable power from a large Eight Three !
Under stressed, bigger displacement engines should last longer. Instead of tuning the snot out of the 6.6
An 8.3 coming out would be a great asset as the larger displacement will allow for power to be made at lower rpm thus decreasing wear. It would also benefit engine braking. There would also be more potential power down the road. Given all that I think as mentioned in other comments a lot needs to be done for rust prevention so the big engine doesn't break the frame in half in a few years.
Exactly, larger displacement under stressed engines tend to last a bit longer.
@@GMCJay_lly The problem is, the issue isn't really the displacement of the engine causing them to fail sooner/more often, it's the requried by law emission equipment (which would also be on this 8.3L) that make diesels expensive pieces of shit these days.
The current generations of HD diesels already make stupid amounts of low-end torque.
@@nathanmcdonald610 theres a company that is experimenting with spraying hydrogen into diesels to lessen emissions. so some of those emissions systems can potentially come off and be weakened if GM were to add that to its engines. but the true way to go is a supercharged hydrogen combustion engine with water injection. the water injection gets rid of the NOx emissions, the supercharger feeds it the air it needs, and then they could also make it hybrid
Engine braking, hopefully not breaking.
That’s badass, especially paired with that transmission.
The 10 speed Allison leaves a lot to be desired when used at higher GVWR.
@ChaseLandMgmt that 10nspeed is "Allison" branded. It's the same 10 speed internals as the Ford 10R140
@@ChaseLandMgmtelaborate
@@slaytanic921The 10spds aren’t actually Allisons, they’re just branded as such as Allison gives it the okay after GM shows em the design n shit. The 10spds were developed in collaboration with Ford and as a result they have extremely similar transmissions
@@ChaseLandMgmtBecause it’s not an Allison. GM paid for the right to use the Allison name. Even the older Allison 1000 which was technically built by Allison was designed for what GM was willing to pay for and for how GM wanted it to shift. GM thinks that they know more about building HD automatic transmissions than Allison does . I would disagree.
My thoughts are "it isn't broke, so don't fix it"
My old school LMM Duramax meets all my hauling and towing needs.
Long live the LMM. Most capable and reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned
Your LMM also doesn't meet emissions, so it cannot be built anymore.
Your towing needs and my towing needs are completely different. Towing jets skis you should be good.
Lmm will pull a house down all day long
@@Southrn_Maniacyago Exactly. Those who say otherwise have never driven one
“The emissions” the emissions are the killer to these wonderful, powerful, amazing diesel engines! I love my old 2007 Ram with NO DPF, no DEF, no problems with low or no fluid in a def tank. It just runs and runs. If these new diesel engines emissions were better or gone they would have better MPG, more reliability, less or no issues.
Even your 07 has emissions equipment tho lmao (EGR)
@@loganamurray64 yeah but no DPF or DEF! The two killers for diesel engines.
A well deleted 6.6 does the job.
If the diesel engines nowadays didn't have all the DEF Systems for emissions, they would run so much better
Personally, I'd rather see a galvanised chassis than another bigger engine that will be strangled by traction control. Very few of us tow at the limit of these trucks, and if you do, look towards buying a semi. Chevy needs to give us better build quality and longevity of chassis.
The fact that GM is still making their own since day 1. An not relying on someone else for a heart implant 😂😂 GM never disappoints.
Isuzu ain’t day 1
Make a 3.0 duramax diesel with hybrid for torque fill.. best of both worlds!
Been watching your vids for years, great job and very informative! Definitely hope to see a beats like this 8.3l duramax fingers crossed…. But one thing I would love to see in your real world testing is exhaust braking/engine braking performance test, I’ve been towing for many years (commercial hotshot) and for instance like your Ike downhill exhaust braking test is really only half the story as far as performance. I’d love to see some fully loaded 60mph to 10mph test, or 40 to 10 test…. Also towing in rolling hills changes the game completely to, the engine transitioning to no engine brake to full engine brake up and down, that’s when tuning plays a big part in overall performance, I’d definitely be curious to see how the big 3 stack up in tests like these. Just throwing some suggestions out there, keep up the great content, hope to see more coming in the future.
21' F450 owner here. These trucks need more braking power WAY more then bigger engines at this point
Not more braking, better tires imo. You can lock up the brakes in a Duramax ezpz
F450’s have good brakes. As far as engine braking that’d require a different valvetrain and the engine would have to be made slightly larger to incorporate brake pack under the valve covers. Updated oiling systems as well to supply oil to the brake packs.
Just because GM is working on a new diesel engine doesn't mean it's meant general consumers. GM builds commercial and supplies military vehicles, too. For example, they own Gillig. Gillig manufactures busses that are typically used for mass transit. Oshkosh manufactures military vehicles and uses the Duramax in some of its applications.
And as we kno , Chevy med duty truck is no longer Chevy, it was taken over Navistar ihc commercial I hope the truck made at ihc continue as built by ihc much heavy-duty by conpair of size of parts !
We've had Cummins specialist talk to my college not long ago. To Cummins knowledge there is diminishing returns on after treatment. In theory they had test engines for euro 5 or 6 engines running without EGR however the machines needed to consume twice as much DEF.
I don’t need more power, cheby, I need the reliability your trucks used to have.
Imagine compounding and tuning and 8.3 Duramax. I like it
Could probably get over 2,000ftlbs of torque easily.
Speaking of hybrid heavy duty trucks. You guys should interview and or tour Edison Motors
Yes!!!
Yes! I'd love to see an independent review of Edison motors.
they dont have any trucks..freightliner.
You're right, but the will have pickups very soon.
Bring the Megamax diaper to the dealership because when you see the prices of an 8.3 Duramax you’re going to s*** yourself.
Got that right. A GMC Denali 2500 will likely be $120K truck, easily.😂
I wish they made them more fuel efficient and reliable rather than fighting over 400 vs. 600 horsepower. Current '22 F-350 PowerStroke owner.
😂😂😂 when you got that much torque you need a nappy 😂😂😂 brilliant Roman!
I love my 2023 Chevy 1500 with the 3L 2nd Gen diesel!
Anyone else notice the 7.3 Zilla next in line on that chart!?! Hands down best gasser!
Easily, I think the 7.3L is the best bang for buck engine you can currently get in any 3/4 or 1-ton truck.
I can see an Edison style truck with E-axles and a smaller engine. That system seems to have peak efficiency without the need to cut all the gears to make a 10speed.
I never thought of them getting into making small semi trucks. But the world is changing. Buying a semi truck to haul the more weight or drive in comfort with better ride with less hauling weight
My F350 H.O. 6.7 barely fits under the hood now. How big would that truck have to be. it would have to be in a 5500, or a 4500. The price of that would probably start at $100,000.
125000 dollars inflation
The block will likely be updated but still similar in size as current. Stroke and bore will increase. In medium duty output will reduced if such route is done. Because GM has two brands costs can be kept uncontrol. To be honest Ford should have taken this route but probably wanted to keep costs down.
It wouldn't have to be much larger at all. Hog out the block and give it a longer stroke. Would fit in the same space.
Displacement increases don’t necessarily mean physical size increases. The Ford 7.3L gas engine is physically smaller than the 6.2L V8 it replaced.
yeah but 8.3L displacement
Wow 8.3?!
Thank you for sharing your look into the crystal ball
This will be the one all end all game changer if they take the time to look for any potential weak spots or parts to make it the most trouble free drivetrain
I think the vast majority of consumers don't really need 1200 ft-lbs of torque in a pickup (some may want it for bragging rights, but I'll leave that alone). Personally, I'd like to see the manufacturers start offering some lower output diesels, maybe in the realm of 400hp, 800ft-lbs, that only cost $6000 more than the gas engine, because $12,000 to go from a gasser to a diesel is just crazy to me!
The problem is, more powerful or less powerful all diesels have to emission equipment and DEF from the factory by law and that's a big part of where the asinine cost of modern diesel engines come from. So if Ford for example, we're to offer a significantly detuned PowerStroke that made say 350hp and 750ftlbs of torque, it would still probably cost just within a couple thousand dollars of it's HO 500hp/1200ftlbs of torque version and when people are spending at minimum 65K on a vehicle, they will probably just opt to get the most powerful engine available if the cost differential isn't very big. Honestly I think Ford has the right idea with the 7.3L gas engine. It's relatively low output for it's high displacement means it's an under stressed engine that should have no trouble lasting decades into the future and because it's a naturally aspirated gas engine it's far less complex and expensive to purchase and maintain than any modern diesel, aside from all that it's 430hp and 480flbs of torque is plenty for like 90% of what anyone should be doing in a 3/4 or 1-ton truck anyway.
Don't even have these here in Australia, and I'm excited.
I can assure you we have lots of GMC 2500 & 3500 L5P trucks in Australia. 5 of them live in my rural town alone.
@@Ozgrade3 3500 duallys well I'll be
@@79series yeah they are getting popular. Every 2nd tradie is now in a RAM 1500. Lots of the trucks were privately imported and converted, ASV are very popular for conversions. I started promoting these trucks 12 years ago " nah mate they will never sell here, too bloody big for our roads". Well RAM has sold 27,000 of the 1500 model here.
I personally love cubic inches for increasing horsepower and torque. The engine doesn't need to work as hard pulling anything. However, my 2014 Duramax has more than enough horsepower and torque for pulling anything I'll ever buy. I also like reliability in an engine/transmission more than anything else.
I get everyone wants more oomph, but considering Companys usually down tune the same engine thats in a 2500 & 3500, for 4500/5500/6500 (even Ford with the F600 and F750, detuned 6.7 to bridge the gap between Medium and Heavy Trucks while maintaining reliability).
That is crazy, my Detroit DD13 is only set at 435HP and It's 12.7 Liters. I think the Duramax 6.6 does good the way it is , i can't imagine 600 HP In a 3500 HD let alone that kind of torque. Grandpa will have no problem getting the camper to the campground.
U need to beef up Ur DD13 to 650hp & go with 13spd or 18spd
Ita for more tq with less emissions .
grandpa gonna be towing it straight up the side of a building
I think gm needs a big gas engine for work trucks like the 8.1l
Agreed
454 7.4 would be good too.
They have the 6.6 gasser...
@GMCJay_lly that's not a big block though and thr 6.6 was to replace the 6.0 gas. They need a replacement for the 8100
And the ford 7.3 has spanks GM’s 6.6 gas so they need an upgrade
8:20 Talk about the Edison Motors truck conversions with the diesel generator electric motor “hybrids.”
My 2024 has plenty of power,but now the thought of swapping out the lB7 in my 2002 is quite appealing.
I wish they’d make one that’s an inline 6
Not to be that guy, but is 600hp/1200lb-ft of torque from a modern 8.3L V8 diesel that impressive when Ford is currently getting 500/1200 from just 6.7L?? For an additional 1.4L of engine, that's not a splash of a headline. Additionally, all 3 have immense power and tow very well. But I would trade any more additional power for less complexity and more longevity/reliability from them all. These trucks are now $100K propositions and some instances, so the automakers should instead invest in having these trucks in for repair as little as possible, outside of normal maintenance.
All depends on what applications it gets used in. HD (commercial) trucks are tested/rated differently from the standard car/light duty pickup. Ford gets 500 Hp out of the ford pickup engine @ around 4,000 rpm. That 8.3 might redline at 3000 rpm. The torque will probably be higher, though. This is a bit apples to oranges (I-6 vs V-8), but if you look at a Cummins 9 liter, you can have HP from 260-380 & torque from 860-1250. Even jumping up to 15.0 Liters, you only see HP #'s ranging from 525-565 & torque 1650-2050.
That ford HO powerstroke engine is overtuned and unreliable. Just see on TH-cam fow Ford is replacing engines under factory warranty on trucks with low mileage
@@jeffs2809 You know that torque and hp are related? Ford makes 1200 ft-lbs @1600 rpm, 500 hp @ 2600 rpm (not 400 rpm). If 600 hp/ 1200 ft-lbs is correct, that would mean that this engine would produce either torque or hp (or both) at higher rpms.
I believe the upside in engine liters displacement is for lowering the Nox# and Emissions not exactly for HP/LB-FT. John Deere is a prime example their new JD 18L Engine if I recall correctly has lower emissions output than the previous top engine JD 13.5L engine and has no DEF while delivering up to 908HP all due to the larger size of engine displacement.
@@midengineZ06 I’m reasonably sure that, with ag & construction equipment, “size matters”. So, once the engine gets large enough the emissions restrictions are loosened enough that they can get away from some of the equipment required on smaller displacement engines. I can’t say that’s entirely for certain, though. I do know manufacturers have been able to put out some equipment without having various emissions equipment while still having “mid-size” displacement engines. I didn’t really dig into the details of how they were accomplishing it, though. I know the general idea of decreasing compression ratio = lower combustion temps = lower NoX, but that’s also going to take away from performance and won’t completely eliminate NoX without egr or def/scr(diesel of course).
They don’t have huge inverters because they don’t have enough alternator. A dual alternator setup with 400A output is only 4800w. They’d need something more like an e-torque motor-gen or Powerboost inline motor-gen to get enough output
I would be surprised by a larger diesel, I want a turbo gas motor in a GM HD.
It's coming!
Yes I agree. I think that’s an excellent idea. Or make the 8.3 a big block gas. Which what I thought this video was gonna be about.
I'd like to see an ecoboost 7.3 or at least a 5.0. I think there's a lot of potential there for decent towing economy in a gas engine.
@@leviduff2740 People put twin turbos on their 5.0s and they put out very impressive HP and Torque numbers. GM is currently working on a Twin Turbo 5.5L LT6 with dual overhead cams and a flat plane crank.
The reason is reliability. GM, Ford and Ram could easily up the torque ratings by 200 to 300 ft/lbs of torque, but at the risk of reliability, tractor trailer engines can last 1 million miles without an issue, but the are generally putting out, on average 110 ft/lb or torque per liter. The powerstroke is at 179 ft/lb per liter, this 8.3 would be at 144 ft/lb per liter. The harder an engine works the shorter the lifespan.
John Deere has an engine that runs 174 ft-lbs/l. Their new 18L puts out 3135 lb-ft of torque.
Yeah but those semi engines are designed for 1 thing mainly & that’s long haul trucking. Low rpm at 60-70 mph
Semi truck engine do have issues especially with emissions engines. Def is no good for engines over time. They clod the engines up with slime. The pre emissions engines last alot longer and are better the emissions engines. You don't see emissions engines having a million plus miles like the pre emissions engines
the dodge and ford monekys are only smart enough to look at power ratings
@@rock-uu7qr meanwhile the gm fanboys are replacing their broken crankshafts
I hope you guys are looking at Edison Motors. I think they have the best idea for future hybrid diesel power. Roman mentioned this and I think it's worth looking at.
Post office trucks are galvanized too I think. Galv plating HD trucks is a good idea.
When will see the opposed piston diesel from Achates in consumer trucks?

@@cobrademon761 Yep, a Vortec 8100.
And considering that the aftermarket has already been pushing the LS architecture to past 520 cubic inches (through blocks with taller deck and bigger bores), it's not impossible for them to develop such engine.
@@Roddy_Zeh don’t forget that the 8100’s are super popular in the marine industry. A properly boosted big block (400+ cubic inches) could dang near have the same numbers of some diesels.
Lots of info here. Duty cycle is never spoken about. The rpm at which these engines make their max torque is also never an rpm at which you'll have your foot to the floor and actually operate these new trucks at. If you had a manual transmission behind these engines your drivetrain would explode. ALL of the older trucks were making 450-500 and 600 ft lbs and had a manual trans to allow pulling a hill at 1600 rpm to feel that torque and spin that turbo! I miss that so bad.
example, 2006 ford f350 6.0 (fixed properly) with a zf 6 speed, 4.10 gears, loaded up was the best towing feel. That turbo and exhaust sounded so good!!! you could feel the Torque!! lets all join together and make towing fun again!
I have a 2020 3500HD Denali DRW. I bought it to tow a 2020 Jayco North Point 377 RLBH. The trailer is a little over 17000 lbs loaded and is just shy of 43 feet long. This truck handles this trailer with very little effort. The Biggest things that I can tell you that GM Really needs to be doing is partnering with Banks right from the factory and automatically putting the Derringer, Petal Monster, Ram Air Intake, Differential Cover and the Turbo pipes on right off of the rip. I will be adding these things to mine. Even if they do not bring banks on board, DIC needs to have a built in Code reader and also have all of the relevant data available in an App on the screen. There needs to be a factory option to place the truck in Regen Mode manually. I would absolutely go for the 8.3 because knowing that my L5P does not even break a sweat towing my fifth wheel now, the bigger engine would do it even better with better efficiency.
I am surprised that no hybrids were developed yet. I understand fuel efficiency is probably third to power and reliability. It is done with locomotives (though in a different way), I am surprised diesels don't have this yet. Even regen braking before exhaust brake would charge the battery really quickly.
Will the crankshaft breaking still be an option like the current version
NO, that's only reserved for a DA like yourself.

My guess is it's all about power potential. Large bore size generally makes emissions worse (all else being equal) as flame travel is longer. But I'm not a diesel guru and compression ignition may be less handicapped by that than gas. You guys should go interview the Canucks at Edison Motors. They are doing diesel electric development up in BC.
Wow. This is really surprising. Could it be that this is going to be strictly a medium duty truck engine? Kind of like Cummins making engines for semi trucks, medium duty, and passenger pickups?
An 8.3 liter is a huge diesel engine for a passenger pickup.
Will GM still offer the 6.6 liter as an option?
If GM (Isuzu?) is going to do this, of course it'd be for horsepower/torque numbers, but I think they'd also be doing it for reliability. They probably could get huge numbers out of their current 6.6 liter, but an 8.3 liter wouldn't have to work as hard to get those same numbers, which is smart.
Great video guys.
Show me an 8.3L gasser and then I'll be sold.
GM built an 8.1 gasser it will run and all but when gassing on it need to be pulling a fuel tanker behind it.
If there is an 8.3L engine coming, I doubt it's coming to the 2500/3500. The 6.6L has the ability to make even more power, but GM is apparently choosing reliability. We know this because Banks took one over 1000 hp. Banks also has a close relationship with GM, and I'm pretty sure GM took that research and put it into the current revision of the 6.6.
Don’t believe everything Banks says Banks has zero input regarding GM development
@@MarkSmith-cz3by I'm sure GM took all the research to make decisions with. Not saying Banks had direct involvement
@@MarkSmith-cz3byGM and other manufacturers still do listen to the aftermarket to fix common issues or gripes to make life easier
@@loganamurray64 agreed Banks has about the same amount of input as any other aftermarket manufacturer that may have solutions that can help the auto manufacturers
The l5p is a stout engine, lots of guys including myself running large fixed vane turbo setups making 7-800+ hp
That makes me happy to hear this might happen this is great
Is it really fair to call the DMax “long in the tooth”? Just because the displacement has not changed since 2001 doesn’t mean the engine design hasn’t. L5P is a VERY different engine vs the LB7.
GM should start listening to their customer base and finally get rid of that ‘frame wax’ . Do you want to start competing with Ford? Let’s make a truck frame that doesn’t rust to pieces in under 10 years.
Those numbers don't add up. A deleted & tuned duramax L5p can easily hit 600HP & 1200 torque.
Take all the crap off these trucks & not only will they perform better, they'll be more reliable, too.
The real question is, have you had the recall done on your Ram? I had mine done and I'm not sure, but it seems like the power output is slightly less. I'm interested in the tests you have planned for that vehicle.
You will need the Ike Gauntlet version 8.3 , Mega Ike Gauntlet, or Mega Max Ike, awe forgettaboutit. Thanks for the update,, have enjoyed TFL for years now. Thanks
Check out Edison motors out of Canada. They are building a diesel electric hybrid.
If they do a 8.3 it will most likely be only available in the 4500 to 6500
That's what I was thinking. No need for it in the pickups.
Yes yes yes I would buy one tomorrow I hope they build it great job guys
I bet it's for the Army. They use the 6.6 in the Humvee replacement (light tactical vehicles), I bet they're looking at a 8.3 variant for the medium tactical vehicles. Exciting.
How bout making them more affordable?????????
Exactly! I don't need all of the electronic bullshit and cameras to help me tow better. I came from a generation where we had common sense and actually knew how to drive and haul things. Prices of vehicle of any type are way over priced. There is no reason other than greed and broke people trying to keep up with the jones's are why these vehicles are so expensive .
Too bad GM doesn't use this effort and money to perhaps make their existing models more reliable.
Yes! That would be fantastic! Now hopefully epa regulations don’t affect the core engine architecture to negatively
You should look at the Edison motors guys up in Canada, they are building diesel electric hybrid logging trucks and are building retrofit kits to make your pickup a diesel electric
Are they going to fix the issue with the harmonic balancer shearing the locating pins by using a woodruff key instead?
Chevy 8.3 Liter Duramax V8 beating the Cadillac 500/8.2 Liter V8’s record:💀
As cool as a new 8.3l would be, I would rather they focus on the following:
An exhaust brake that works as well as Ford or Dodge
Bigger brakes
A larger fuel tank 36 gallons doesn't cut it when towing 20k lbs
Better DPF system
Super cruise on the HDs
But yes 500hp and 1200ft-lbs would be awesome after other improvements. My 2019 l5p has enough power to pull my 20k lb trailer without issue.
Hey guys which of the big 3 diesels Get the best mileage Per gallon Towing or not
And what transmission is going to deliver the torque and horsepower? All three HD diesels are detuned to protect the transmission. I don't see where this makes any sense.
Good point on the generator though.
Allison2000
Could this push ford to make the 7.3 again?
Technically it would be international.
Ford is already making a 7.3. It’s is a gas engine. Also the 7.3 diesel made a whole 260 hp and a little over 400 lb/ft of torque.
Only if ford can re tune the engine to make more than 500 hp
@@jackylsmith8138 They could in theory bore/stroke the current 6.7L out to 7.3L for extra power/torque. The 7.3L would like just be an arbitrary number used to attract people who fondly remember the old 7.3L from 20+ years ago.
the 2.8 duramax 4 cylinder can outpower the 7.3. the 7.3 couldnt even come close to the duramax the year it came out let alone an 8.3 litre one
I hope they produce this!
The medium duty Chevy and GMC’s used to have a 7.8L Duramax, back in the day.
I think an 8.3L GAS engine is more likely. Big gas engines are making a comeback, and with good reason.
I was thinking more along these lines also-
8.3 means high output and longevity? 6.6l is still plentiful to pump 1200 lb ft tq!
What is the transmission, will it be the 6 speed Allison or some other transmission.
Interesting 🤔. Volvo trucks Europe just introduced a new 17L straight 6 engine with 780hp and just over 2,800lbs ft of torque in their FH series trucks.
8.3L DURAMAX?!
VERY AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep electric out of the HD trucks period!!!!
Audrey is spot on a diesel hybrid would be great on a regenerative basis. Love that GM is pushing to bigger stand a lone diesel, would purchase for sure.
Love the GM 3L Diesel as well.
Go for it! Great job GM!
Most likely for 4500 5500… not 3500
Agreed I think it will go in the heavier trucks
That was my thought, until they said the HP rating.
In that heavy of a class 5500 4500 why not just opt for the 8.3 Cummins
But ford make 1200 pound ft with a 6.7 power but gm need a 8.3
Yes, but it will be 500hp vs 600hp.
@@bertveldhuizen8699 yea
@@bertveldhuizen8699like the ford 😂
It’ll probably put a whole lot less stress on the gm engine given it’s over a liter bigger
@@zachh4151 Exactly. In theory, that 8.3 could outlive the 6.7...in theory.
I’ve been saying for years. The auto makers should be making an hybrid diesel. Especially, in the heavy duty category. Imagine the fuel economy and horsepower of a GM 3.0 Duramax.
Hybrids only make big power for short bursts due to battery size.
I think applauding them or giving them the thumbs down is too soon of an action to take right now. They could come out and somehow develop brand new technology and make a bigger engine making 30mpg…we don’t know what we don’t know
