Anyone Excited about the 3.0 Duramax?
Just curious really. I thought the inline 6 layout would raise a few eyebrows. I expect the power specs to be inline (see what I did there?) with the ED and the Baby Powerstroke... but with it be...

The GM 3.0 is an I-6 (in-line) correct? If so it will run at a much lower RPM than the Ram and Ford V-6 3.0 diesel. This should give it a much higher life span and much better low end TQ. Now it will not have the same mid power band that the V design has but if GM is putting the ten speed in this truck that should help it out in the mid to lower high end power band areas. I would like to compare the Ford and GM trans ratio's in their 3.0 diesel trucks and see what the differences are.

Maybe, it depends on whether the engine is designed similarly to a Cummins B series. However, an engine like BMW's 3.0 inline six is a revver, producing max power at 4,000 rpm. We'll see.
