	The Duramax 6600
		The Powertrain engineers we spoke with are satisfied the bulk of the engine and drivetrain work is complete, but they are looking forward to having until the fall of 2000 to fine-tune the powertrain, and make certain every single detail was considered before the Duramax trucks actually start rolling off the assembly line next August.
		GM has been participating in truck demonstration events all across the country to get more vehicle exposure to different climates, elevations, and to as wide a variety of drivers as possible.
		GM is using a corporation built differential with a 11.5" diameter ring gear and synthetic gear oil in the new Duramax trucks.

		Banks’ engineers did a huge amount of development work in a short time on the Duramax ports and flow is said to be already better than 25 percent than stock.
		With the new heads, there is no chance of a broken injector contaminating the engine oil, as was the case with earlier head designs where the injectors were inside the valve covers.
		Diesel engines are more fuel efficient than their gasoline-powered cousins, and you can race on the same fuel that powers your diesel tow vehicle.

		The base engine is the Vortec 6000, a 6.0-liter V8 (366 cubic inches) that generates 300 horsepower and 360 foot-pounds of torque at 4000 rpm.
		GM's Duramax diesel engine is built in Moraine, Ohio, but was developed with Isuzu, one of the world's largest manufacturers of diesel engines.
		The Duramax was designed for a 200,000-mile operating life, according to GM engineers, and for easy serviceability.

		GM's last diesel engine design used pre-cup injection, where the fuel is sprayed into a small chamber that leads to the cylinder.
		The engine oil cooler is mounted on the side of the engine and uses engine coolant to cool the oil.
		The Duramax diesel uses glow plugs in the cylinders and electric heaters in the air intake to warm the intake air.

		GM Powertrain's powerful Duramax 6.6L V-8 turbo-diesel engine is revised to meet new, stringent 2007 federal emissions regulations and continues to deliver the outstanding power and torque ratings customers expect.
		Upgrades to the engine and a new diesel particulate filter system help ensure the engine meets government-mandated emissions regulations for diesel engines manufactured beginning in January 2007, which require a 90-percent reduction in particulate matter and 50-percent reduction in NO x.
		Upgrades implemented in 2006 enhanced the efficiency, smoothness and quietness of the Duramax engine, which was already known as one of the industry's quietest and strongest diesels.

		GM's zone service representative disputed the claim under the assumption that a recently installed Gale Banks Engineering exhaust brake assembly was the cause.
		While Gale Banks Engineering was satisfied with this, GM's legal representatives, claiming they were unprepared, left the table and later notified the owner they would schedule time for their own engineer to inspect the engine.
		GM specialists never followed through with the inspection, but did discuss the failure with the engineer who delivered the report on behalf of the owner.

	Notable - GM Finds Diesel Nirvana - 10/06
		At a time when most auto manufacturers are hedging their bets on the future of diesel engines in the U.S. market thanks to cumbersome emission regulations, General Motors is drawing a line in the sand, announcing it plans to introduce a newly developed diesel powertrain in its light-duty full-size pickups sometime after 2009.
		Engineers began by developing the combustion system by modeling a single cylinder, then expanding it by seven more.
		The engine utilizes a high-pressure, common-rail fuel system, along with a regenerative particulate filter that should last upwards of 150,000 miles, depending on the operating cycle, before the ash would have to be flushed out of the system.

	GM revamping Duramax engine to meet new diesel rules - GMInsideNews Forums
		GM will significantly revamp the emissions system of the Duramax, which also is used in full-sized vans and commercial vehicles.
		Because the Duramax has built a reputation for being smooth, quiet and reliable, GM sells out of diesel trucks each year and gets close to sticker prices, which start at about $30,000 and can go as high as $50,000.
		I was the same, the first time I heard a Duramax idling at a light, I had to look at the Duramax sticker on the door side to make sure it was in fact a diesel.

	GM Develops New Cleaner Duramax Diesel Engine - Cars - Blogs.ca
		Granted that the market for diesel trucks is simply huge, GM couldn’t just idly sit by, it upped the ante by refining the Duramax diesel lineup.
		Of course, the filter isn’t the only new addition to the engine; GM took the opportunity to upgrade the rest of the engine’s components too.
		The 6.6L Duramax now features a new 32-bit processor to control fuel flow for different loads, has a new variable geometry turbocharger, heavier-duty fuel injectors capable of pumping diesel at more than 26,000 psi (up from 23,000 psi), and has new glow plugs for faster starting times.

		Details are scanty, because GM is waiting to receive patents on some of the engine’s technology, but Freese promised it would meet emissions requirements in all 50 states when it goes on sale.
		GM was a leader in diesels once, but it lost that position through inattention and eventually sold its Detroit Diesel unit, now owned by DaimlerChrysler.
		Diesel engines cost more than gasoline power plants — nobody will say exactly how much, but $1,000 to $2,000 is a reasonable estimate — but owners get a return on their investment much quicker when a diesel is in vehicles with low fuel economy, such as pickups and SUVs.

		All Duramax applications are available from 2001 to 2006, the 2004.5 and later LLY and LBZ GM Duramax engine were produced with a Garret variable turbo charger that has proven to be a very sluggish inefficient "emissions regulated" turbo charger.
		As exhaust is pushed from the engine to the turbo chargers turbine housing the exhaust energy is forced to make a 90 degree angle being directed into the turbine of the turbo charger.
		The poor factory turbo charger design is the primary reason the 2004.5 and newer Duramax engine struggles producing reliable power wile maintaining reasonable EGTs.

		When a turbocharged engine is shut off immediately after a high speed run, "heat soak" occurs from the engine, and it considerably increases the temperature in the turbocharger.
		Synthetic engine oils that are inherently more thermally stable than petroleum engine oils have been shown to keep turbochargers considerably cleaner than petroleum engine oils.
		Mechanically sound engines, for example, do not leak oil or consume excessive amounts, are not worn out, do not overheat, do not have internal or external anti-freeze leaks and have a properly working emission control system.
