So the idea is to have less HP and Torque and fewer speeds in the tranny, with a engine with more cubes, in a truck designed to haul more payload and pull a heavier trailer, than a lesser truck, is a good thing? That sure isn't the reason I have a Duramax in my truck.
I guess I am still upset about how GM used to detune the old BBC and many of their other engines.
Maybe another tranny option would help, although I like the 6.6 concept.
Sorry just venting some frustration on this new design, maybe I will get used to the looks.
