So getting back on topic.... interesting for sure thus far.. but I’m interested in the Chevy 3.0 Duramax down the road for sure. On the topic of HD trucks I really like the GM series, however i am a fan of the Cummins so my vote would be for the Ram for HD diesel use. That’s coming from a guy who owns a 3/4 ton GMC gas job. Anyway have worked on several engines and the inline series engines just last a long time due to design. If I would keep gas for HD duties down the road.. it would be a hard choice between the gas 6.6 GM or Ford 7.3. Again just my preference.
My parents had a GMC Envoy that had a inline engine that had nothing but problems. Having said that I think the new 3.0 Duramax has some interesting features so we'll have to see how that plays out.
I noticed the Gold Hitch Award excluded gas powered HD trucks this year but if they did I'm sure the 7.3 would have won.
Yep that inline engine used in that series of trucks and suvs was not very good for sure. Some had good luck but most did not.... yes I agree that the 7.3 would win... I think Ford hit a home run so far with that engine.
