This is the second gen 3L duramax in these chevy 1500 pick up trucks and I really like these duramax diesel engines. they are incredibly fuel efficient and can now tow up 13,300lbs.

I like that these engines are inline 6 designs because of the 3 main advantages including being naturally very well balanced engines, easy torque creation and great engine bay layouts.

I also really like that the emission systems on these 3L duramax diesel engines are not showing many issues which is a huge bonus seeing that emission usually kills the modern diesel engine.

some of the upgrades of this second gen duramax diesel engine include, new steel pistons, stronger connecting rods and thicker cylinder wall linings. this new engine also has an updated turbo, new cylinder head, new intake cam and intake valves as well as new fuel injectors.

all these upgrades really help to open up this engine and let it make more power.

some issues to look out for include the oil pump belt and fuel pump simply because of their location making it difficult to replaced them.

there is also some rumors of oil consumption with these engines but it is also very early on and tough to conclusively say if this is an issues or not.

overall I really like these little 3L Duramax and thing GM has a good product on their hands.
