the 6.6 is for the big boys to play with, the suburban is heavy and big, it makes more sence to put the more fuel efficient 4.5 into it, maybe lure some people who like the suburban but dont like the fuel costs of a gasser:Thumbup:

duramin

well since the 6.6 is called the duramax shouldn't they call this one the duramin? Makes more sense to me

Put it in a 2 door 4x4 tahoe and I'll place my order today!

[jonxmartini]

that "duramin" is suppose to make as much power as the original duramax made and be 2.1 liters smaller

With 7 years of technoligical advancements, I have no reason to doubt that at all-

I'm sure it'll be stronger then the 6.5's . . .

I really wish they had made this truck. I would buy one in a heartbeat.

 

[M123KT-450]

So are they going ahead with this engine ?

Mike

 

[NukleusX]

I dont think so Mike, I think it got dropped earlier this year, if not late last year. I could be wrong though. Look at the age of this thread as well, its from early last year-

 

[New 0mega]

They postponed the release till 2011 or 2012 model year at least maybe even longer.

That's fine the 6.6 and 7.8 Duramax's are just fine for now . . . :thumbsup
Us goofy americans like power over mileage anyhow. . .:thumbsup

I remember reading some article with the engineers reasoning why they won't release it with the 6.6. The 4.5 will have the 6L90 behind it since the 6.6 requires the Allison. I don't really get it. There was an article about the 6L90 being GM's very own lighter Allison, after the sell-off. The Allison would require a body lift or some crap to make it fit.

they not just put the Bloody 6.6 in the 1500's and call it good. . .
They had 6.2/6.5's in 1500's once may as well make'em fit the 6.6L . . .

That was before they had to meet emissions on 1/2-ton diesels. They would never get that passed now.
