Duramax I6 engine

Automotive Engines

The Duramax I6 is a 3.0 litre inline six-cylinder diesel engine that General Motors fits to select light-duty trucks and sport utility vehicles. Applications include the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, the Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon, and the Cadillac Escalade in both lengths. It was developed together with Opel, which builds three and four cylinder versions of 1.5 and 2.0 litres on the same architecture. It has an aluminum block and head with iron cylinder liners, a forged steel crankshaft and a liquid-to-air intercooler, and it makes 277 to 305 horsepower. Its timing chains and fuel pump drive sit at the rear of the engine, which makes inspection and replacement difficult and costly. Most development and calibration took place in Turin, and it is built at Flint Engine Operations.
