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.

Engine peak power/torque and how high it can rev depends on other things such as bore/stroke ratio and cam profile, not cylinder configuration.
Precisely....
