Gale Banks inspects a new 2024 Duramax 6.6L turbo diesel engine and compares the parts sidebyside with a 2023 model; data you won't find on a spec sheet. Available in the '24 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra, the engine boasts 470hp / 975lbft, up from the previous generation's 445/910. Improvements to the engine include a new turbo, pistons with tapered bowl, cylinder heads with improved cooling jackets, higherflow injectors for greater fuel injection pressure, fuel rails to handle the increased pressure, improvements to the glow plugs, improved engine braking thanks to a more powerful turbo vane actuator and upgraded valve springs, along with the latest generation Engine Control Module with new Global B architecture.

All of these new parts look seriously durable, but will they translate to more power? We already have a truck on the dyno. Stay tuned!

Banks prefers AMSOIL, the leader in synthetics.
