Do I regret buying a 7.3 Godzilla and now, a 6.6 V8 L8T Gas chevy....some say I made a huge mistake!

- I get tons of flack for buying the 7.3 godzilla powered F-250 and Now, the 6.6 Liter Gasser from Cheverolet in a 2500 Silverado. Well I'll answer how I take that in this video. I'll also give you my week in the truck first impressions. Get ready, hit that subscribe and lets go for a ride as we head out to do some towing tests this weekend, well tomorrow. the first of many towing test for the channel. who is ready?
• Just Bought 2024 Chevr...
I have a 2020 Silverado 2500 with the 6.6 Gas engine that I bought new in August of 2020. Today it has 82,300 miles on it and 99% of all my driving is without a trailer. It’s more of a rough riding station wagon than a work truck. The mileage works out to be about 12 mpg around town and around 16.5 mpg on the highway. What I found is that the different fuel blends winter / summer that we get in Florida negatively affect my mileage more than any other factor.
Scheduled maintenance is done by the dealer using their oil and my oil consumption is exactly one quart every 5,000 miles.
My original Goodyear tires lasted 62,000 miles, (I pushed the mileage), and the only item outside of standard maintenance that needed repair was one of the seat vibrators for lane changes quit at 5,000 miles. Not one thing else. Best vehicle I have ever owned.
I've had a 6.8 v10 gas F250 since 2000. I drive it everyday, its my work truck. Its how I make money. 10 MPG. Its got 288k miles on it. Original engine and transmission, everything. I looked at the 7.3 diesel when I bought this one. The smell of it running irritated my sinus. I factored in oil change, fuel filter expenses $ 7500 for diesel option as opposed to the gasser and figured I would come out ahead. I did. Yeah, I took a lot of sass for not getting the tried and true 7.3 IDI but no regrets.
That's awesome, I love the v10, have those in our 450s and in our class a motorhome....thanks for posting!
That V10 is a great motor. I've know allot V10 owners who have had those forever. Very reliable motor.
You didn't miss anything with an idi. Powerstroke, maybe in the later years, but the V10 in my opinion is a better tow engine than any idi.
Powerstroke is not idi(in direct injection) its direct injected
Proof is on the pudding and you sir, have the pudding.
Its great to see people being open minded about multiple manufacturers.
Thanks, that's what I'm trying to do for the channel...be open and real.
@@automotiveinquiries9673 I'm interested in Ford's 6.8 "baby-zilla" to see if they have similar issues, and similar strengths.
@@gen-zeke-8571 I have a video on one of those. That motor is sweet. While the zilla is an uptrim option For free, it makes sense to run with that. Buy when they lift the build restriction so people can get a xlt or above, and that's the base engine, I think people will be very happy with that one...and for 23s the 6.8 pulls more (rated at) than my 7.3. Crazy cool.
I have a 2020 F250 7.3 gasser.. Love it..and had diesels since 1996. I still pull the same front end loaders and 16k pound boat and (my wife calls it the Silver Bullet-LOL) gets it done nicely and my cost of operation is way less. I added a Carli level suspension lift with 37's, Tremor running boards, wheel lip moldings and the short valance..Looks like a Tremor on steroids...and drives like my 04 GMC 1/2 ton...very smooth. In our fleet we also have a 24 GMC 6.6 w the Allison which is a major improvement over the 6 speed we just traded in. I still prefer the 7.3 and the better towing control I get with my F250 vs the 3/4 GMC truck. Looks department I like the GMC and interior Ford. Both trucks are Silver with Black accents..no chrome. Good Luck with yours.
These new gassers pull like the old diesels.
I've had GM my whole life never had an issue at all. Every truck i have owned never burned a drop of oil . I check and change the oil every 3000 miles in my trucks.. I just ordered my 2024 2500 HD in January coming in this month in the LT trim , i cant wait . Best of luck with your new truck. Love the Channel .
Thanks, glad your here. Congrats on the new rig and thanks for posting.
The tribal instincts are strong among truck buyers. The other side isnt what youve been told. And the side your on isnt as good as you think. But i get it. It becomes a strong emotional attachment to the journey and the experiences along the way in a brand vehicle. Enjoy that truck!
My ‘07 classic K2500 8.1L gasser has been strong and reliable, but it has always used a quart of oil every 2000 mi, more when towing. Pretty sure all of the 8.1’s did/do.
@@glennbishop-smith9957 They do, I don't think there is anything you can do to stop it.
The black exhaust is from direct injection on a cold start up. The cold piston hits the direct injected fuel and creates a rich startup (unburnt fuel) for the first second until heat is in the combustion chamber. Every single direct injected motor does this upon a cold start up
This guy dleted the other video 😂 because the fords is better and he’s biased as a mfer 🤡
I tow every day with my 2500 2020 hd diesel, it's the only way to go for me. When I stop towing the new Colorodo will be my next truck, those baby's are awesome.
I am a contractor and I tow 80% of the time. I enjoy the lower trim levels and the simplicity. Looking forward to towing with mine once I get 500 miles or so on it
GM says 5000 miles before towing
Every engine has its problems. If you don't buy something because of what others tell you, then you're never going to buy something because every manufacturer has its problems. Gotta live and do what you want to do.
If you believe every engine has it's problems, you haven't owned a Toyota. I have a Tundra with a 5.7 and 4.30 gears. Pull a 8500 pound excavator (not including trailer) all over the place. Have air bags and have put incredible amounts of weight in the bed. Never an issue.
@kevinnilsen590 I have an 08 titan with 242k miles and it hasn't given me any problems at all. But at the same time I know guys who have the same truck and they've been riddled with problems. I guess what I mean is that you can buy a vehicle that had a reputation for being 100% reliable and get a turd. You can also buy a vehicle that is known to have issues and not have any problems with it.
In 2019 traded in my 2017 Duramax for a 2019 Ram 2500 with a 6.4 hemi. No regrets. Does everything I ask it to do and the mileage is not that far off the duramax pulling or unloaded.
Peeps on internet love to hate, doesn't matter what it is.....they will complain
Your money so buy what fits you
When you make my truck payments for me, I'll buy whatever you want, 😮
The only thing. I mean the only thing that drives me nuts about the 10 spd is the cold performance of the trans before its warmed up. Once warmed up and in tow haul mode loaded down. The difference in performance between a 6 and 10 spd is as obvious as a punch in the face. The 10 spd will outperform in all conditions over the 6 spd.
I bought an 2024 f250 7.3, so far i dont have any issues. My old truck was 2017 f250 diesel, kept the diesel to pull 5th wheel but prefer the gas and the 360 camera stuff is really cool
I'm picking up my 2024 AT4 6.6. gas next week. I bought a new 2023 last fall but wanted the refresh all along so I'm just biting the bullet and trading up now. I am perfectly fine with the 23 with the 6 speed. I've put 13,000 miles on it in 6 months and some of it was heavy towing. Heaviest I towed was about 18,000 lbs and it pulled it ok. I live in western KS where it's flat so that does make a difference. I think the new 10 speed will be even better. Only knock on the 6 speed is the 2 to 3 to 4 shifts. It has a flat spot in 3rd gear under heavy loads. Ten speed should help that. If this new 10 speed is quite a bit better may never buy another diesel again. I have a 2015 Duramax which has been great, but honestly the 23 gas does about as well as the diesel other than maintaining speed on inclines. That's where the torque of the diesel shines. If I lived in a hilly area I would go diesel. I can get away with gas out here in the flatlands. Lifetime mileage on the 23 is about 12. My Duramax with 125,000 is about 13.7 so with the cost of fuel gas wins right now.
How is it?
I have a 2021 on its 4th oil change with ZERO oil consumption between. Fabulous engine.
I have a 22 gmc sle with 11000 ish miles. Love it, plenty powerfull for me and i'm fine with the 6 speed. I came from an LML and L5P. wasn't worth the extra expense and headache from the aftertreatment system. This one doesn't burn any oil. My two 8.1's used oil but it was manageable.
Great video! People will have their favorites and that is fine.
I love my '22 2500HD Chevy Z71 Sports Edition in Bright Red. I call mine Big Red too!
I got rid of the plastic chrome Z71 badges and replaced with red/black Z71 badges. Red recovery hooks too offset the front too. I purchased a red L8T 6.6 badges where your Allison 6.6 go...looks nice.
New subscriber here!
Lee
That's sweet, Your rig sounds awesome. I'll look into the other badges, red recovery hooks would look wicked also. Thanks for being here and part of the channel.
@@automotiveinquiries9673 I have lots of pictures of it! 😀
I can't help but smile about the parallel evolution the 6.6L represents. Basically it is a modern, stronger version of the Chevy 400 small block used in earlier decades, simply a stroked small block to increase torque yet give some semblance of gas mileage when unladen. Ditto Ford's 400 of the same Era.
That said, love my new 2024 6.6L gasser paired with the Allison 10 speed.
I drove a uhaul 2500 or 3500 10' box van with the 6.6 and wow it was lively, I was really impressed it was make you laugh fast because it had no right being that quick for what it it was. Then my mind started thinking the idea of it in my 92 c1500 obs hot rod truck and now hopped up 6.6s are the nee rage.
Helluva truck. That transmission is awesome. Plastidip or HyperDip if you don’t wanna worry about scratching things up replacing the badges.
Right on thanks for the tip!
my 22 Sierra HD25 SLT 6.6 Gas combined get 13 MPG - IF you divide the fuel take size in gallons into 500 THAT is what GM expects the truck to get for MPH --- 36 gallons divided by 500 = 13.88 MPG --- ALL GM vehicle fuel tanks are selected to give the car/truck a range of 500 miles. AND my truck with 14,000 miles uses NO OIL between 5000 mile oil changes - my truck had the 5 speed tranny and I like it a lot - it's my 4th one -- 04,11,15,& 22
20” wheels don’t increase the height of a truck. Side wall of the tire decreases (simply plug the tire size into an online calculator to see diameter). Only thing it does is slightly reduce ride quality. Probably not enough to matter though.
The 20" tires on these trucks are almost a full 1" bigger in diameter than the 18" for some weird reason
I like the Chevy. It’s designed for torque. I prefer this power delivery.
Enjoy all the content, ford, GMC/Chevy hd gaser will be my next truck
Thanks for being here and watching.
I will give you my real world review. I have 4 years and 75,000 miles in my 2020 6.6L gas. I tow 12000lb 5th wheel and 8000lb snowmobile trailer. This motor is definitely more powerful than my 2018 6.2L…… A very tiny bit better on mileage. But honestly what moron buys a 2500 and worries about gas consumption. I use Mobile 1 oil and have ZERO problems with oil consumption and truly no complaints about the transmission…. Love this truck. Have that same Red. 🥰🥰
I just bought that same truck 3 days ago same color en everthing i love it its very nice
I actually really like the look of the new red truck, had a 2020 and liked the power and the quietness, but the oil consumption on a new truck worried me, didnt have the ten speed, so that must be a big improvement- good luck with it!
Thanks
Ive owned a 21 Ram 6.4 2500 with 3.73s CCSB, put 20k miles on it
I owned a 21 Ford 7.3 F-250 with 3.55s CCSB, put 20k miles on it
Now I have a 2020 Chevy Silverado 6.6 L8T CCLB, ive put 4k miles on it since march.
The chevy is by far the best truck ive owned. The 6 speed works perfect. No weird shifting like the 10 speed and 8 speed.
The biggest pro is that its technically a 1 ton with a 10,850 GVWR. Both previous trucks would be over GVWR with the 5th wheel that we bought.
It rides smoother and the independent front suspension doesn’t wander like the straight axles do.
Its a summit white custom trim and its the best looking truck ive owned.
Nice, I appreciate the feedback for everyone. Also awesome to hear from someone that has had all of the big three so recent and which one you like best.
@@automotiveinquiries9673 I only wish they would have offered a 4.10. 34 inch stock tires isnt great with a 3.73
Nice video. I said it in one of your other videos but I truly think the oil usage thing is way over exaggerated. My truck has 25,000 miles now and no usage. I do change oil at 3000 miles though. From the Facebook groups it seems most people complaining about oil usage are going 5000 or more between changes.
Also the GM accessory floor mats are definitely the best. Being two pieces makes them a lot easier to take out too.
This dude deleted his Ike video because the fords better and he’s been called out 😂😂😂😂
@@freedomisntfree_44 giving his test criteria I really don’t see how you can say the Ford did better. The Chevy definitely stayed on 60 mph longer than the Ford. The Ford also never really got to 60.
At the top the Chevy was all in at about 52 mph. The ford was all in at about 55 mph.
So I don’t know how you figure it did better. They both were pretty similar but you can’t deny the Chevy stayed on 60 on all but the last maybe mile or so.
It looked like he cut both short on editing so maybe he’s doing a re edit.
@@matthewanderson9912 oh yeah it’s so hard to bump the cruise up one more mph 😂 the Chevy was losing speed bad at the top when the ford wasn’t, as you claim it stayed below 60 anyways. Weak ass gm
I have the 2022 with 13,000 miles and no issues and oil issues I haven’t noticed any oil consumption out of the ordinary but I’ve been getting 13 to 15 miles to the gallon just went to Denton Texas and back and I burned around 500.00 bucks in fuel cost out and back and towing my travel trailer I get 9.5 to 10 mpg
I have an easy fix for your oil consumption issue you have to take off valve covers and drill a few holes in the baffles und the cover so it drains back into the head and not out into fresh air hose in valve cover no more oil consumption
I just bought a 2024 2500 6.6 gas monday . Let me tell you i owned dozens and dozens of 2500s and 3500s . Quitest truck i ever owned
Congrats on the new rig.
My only regret is not getting that tailgate....had it on a 1500 and loved it (didn't care b4 I bought it but it is awesome)
Just couldn't find one when I was buying
They should be standard in all trucks and just option em out if you don't likey.....if you work out of a truck it's game changer 4 sure
An interesting test for oil burn would be trying Amsoil Signature Series oil. I have noticed significantly less oil consumption using it vs. other brands of synthetic oil. I have a 2014 F-150 with the 3.7 engine, have used a few brands of synthetic, and the Amsoil has very little burn-off compared to the other brands I have used. I go no more than 15K on an oil change (oil is good for up to 25K under normal driving) as I do tow and idle a lot. I barely burn off 1 qt over that time period now. Try it on your Chevy as that oil consumption will burn out your CAT'S.
That’s really not worth the added cost of the oil.
I'm loving my Chevy !
212, 670 miles .
That is awesome miles!
I don't know if the Chevy has direct injection but if it does it will put out soot and dark smoke on heavy exceleration. That is one thing the 7.3 is port injection.
Yeah I'm wondering if these engines will suffer the carbon buildup issue Ford did when they were direct injection only. They since moved to DI and Port Injection to prevent it.
Have 2022 2500 chevy custom
No oil consumpsion.
15-17 highway empty.
13 around town.
Towing 12. 15 tho on it
A good friend of mine is a Ford dealer mechanic and he said stay away from the 7.3. They are eatinb camshafts at an alarming rate. Hes replaced several under 50k miles, already.
HE IS 100% RIGHT. My 22 ran itself out at 6k.....the 6.6 L8t, kong is 31k strong and nothing but oil changes and tire rotations and all that it does it work and tow.
My Suburban 2500 with the 6.0 Vortec gets 12-13 mpg around town.
I appreciate your optimism, but it seems like you might possibly be the guy that's always rooting for the underdog.
I hope everything works out for you and you stay happy & healthy.
A quart of oil for every 1000 miles on a new engine is ridiculous!!
Im looking for a 6.6L express cargo van and 6 spd transmission no 8 to 10 spd rubbish. However they are fre and far between.
The 24' Chevy refresh on the custom trim aint bad. Its like chevy is chasing the big CAT look. Id rock with it, especially at chevys current price point compared to Ford and "Ram"
I don’t get this guys videos you never even answered the question with the title do you regret buying either of these trucks? You have the Ford Godzilla in the title, but you hardly spend any time talking about that truck. A more fitting title would be first impressions, of the Chevrolet Silverado, 2500 HD, 6.6 L.
I think this guy is great! His videos are very helpful for me and my truck. DONT know what wpaul33 is talking about but I enjoy “automotive inquiries” videos!
Clickbait but informative
@@luispiper3544 He never answered the question posed in the title of the video. He hardly spent any time talking about the Ford Godzilla motor. That was my point. Maybe you’ll understand now.
"At the end of the day"....
I got a 2020 6.6 and mine does not burn oil.
This is the kind of review/update I'm looking for. No bias whatsoever vs just reviewing a luxed up model like the other guys do I'm talking about TFL much as I watch their videos like lets face it who will want to buy an LTZ or something that's high trim? If you can good on you but for an average Joe who just needs/wants an "affordable" daily driver/work vehicle you hit every single point. I've considered every HD truck and by the looks of it the Custom 6.6 gasser is the right fit for what I'm after the truck, I kept my last truck being a 2018 Power Wagon for almost 4 years until I have to sell it because it's just too big to be shipped and driven in Europe. Looked at diesels too just really can't stomach the maintenance costs on a vehicle I'm not even going to use constantly for towing or hauling heavy stuff hence my inclination with gassers since they have the right balance of power and torque compared to where they were 10-15 years ago. I think the boom really started with Ram being the first break the 400 HP mark in an HD truck. Years ago if you asked me about a GM HD gasser much as I like how boxy they look (GMT K2XX) those Vortec 6000 were just a dog of an engine for these GM gassers. I'd love to test drive the newer L8Ts with the Allison since other videos I've watched that upgrade really helped the 6.6 perform better.
Love what your doing on this channel. Only thing I dont like on the chevy trucks is that hideous nose and square holes for round tires.
I like the looks of the tailgate and even the extra stuff it does.
Like you my current truck a 2021 7.3 (no it hasnt blown up yet :) ) has the step tailgate, I will never have another truck without one :)
Just hit subscribe. I am hoping I buy this truck in near future so I appreciate you testing it out for me😃
It has the allison stiker, ford also has same transmission
I got the 2020 2500. Looked at the 7.3. 8k more for the ford for the same truck. I bought to pull my 5r. I'm 18647 loaded total. According to cat scales anyway. The chevy pulls just fine. I drive with the manual mode. I average between 10 to 12 on flat roads and 8 to 10 in the hills. I haven't passed 36k yet. In fact my last trip I hit 35k flat. I've got a friend with the ford I almost bought. He's had engine, tranny, rear end, and leaking water into the truck problems. Mind you he has 20k more miles than me. But he's had 5 times the problems than I have. The only issue I've had is squeaking brakes. The other issue I have is I put 640lbs of bumpers on it. So yeah I've fded up my extra towing capacity. But I've hit 4 deer and a wild boar so I'm happy with them. Being a ford guy myself. If they fix the issues with the godzilla I'll buy 1. And yes my oldest is an original 1965. Still running. My newest is a 2017. And yes I have both gas and diesel. My oldest diesel is and 84 ford 4 speed with 384k on it and no its never been into. It will burn oil above 80mpg though. When we get the new 5r in a few months I will have my new truck. I ordered another chevy. 3500 dually with a diesel. It's an z71 with the cameras and a max tow. 34 of the 42 options. 68k. The same ford quoted at 87k. You can pay for a lot of things with an extra 19k in your pocket. Dodge is just not an option for me. Yes I own a couple. A 74 3/4 ton with a 360 and a 92 dakota with a 318. Good trucks for what they are. New models. No. All in all I've been happy with 6.6 gas. They just need to offer true pulling gears. When my warranty goes in a few more months. It's getting a manual tranny and 4.29 gears. My rear bumper is 1 of a kind. So can my drive train. All my trucks are manual but the chevy. But not for much longer.
Very nice the truck, congratulations!
Did GM not offer steering wheel radio controls or backseat drink holders this year? THANKS
Good stuff..
Great video
If you were to drive one of your trucks through a city like San Francisco or New York which keys would you grab and why? Love your content
thanks appreciate you being here. If I had to grab one, chevy, it's intimidating looking, says, "Get out of my way." LOL.
Not an Allison but ok. Ford and GM is using the exact same transmission for HD trucks. It was co designed by GM and Ford. Not Allison.
Wrong. The tranny they share are for the 1/2 tons bro.
You need a B&W hitch so you can open tailgate without hitting tow ball
True for the conventional tow you'll need that
Alot of speculation about "They believe the issue may have been corrected" , does anyone know of an official statement ? Or are they just going to keep rolling with the defective engine until they create a new one with issues as well? I know this is somewhat an issue with all brands, but it would be nice if they kept something solid and corrected the minor issues. After a while they would have something solid.
I Love the way you think. You for President
I plan on ordering one just like yours but the Blue.
That is a beautiful truck. I really like the front end a lot. I think GM is knocking it out of the ballpark in looks right now.
It’s not the wheels. The 20” wheels are wrapped by tires that have the same diameter as the 18” wheel tires. What makes the new pickups so tall is simply the engineers setting the truck higher. People really like taller trucks… until they have to load and unload.
I’m old. My first F-250 set at least 8” lower than your truck.
Thanks, I appreciate you being here and the feedback. They are tall these days for sure, that's why I need the steps on the bed and the tailgate..lol
Being so tall, do you know if you can clear 33's or 35's at stock height or with a leveling kit??
I just want a garage I can fit my 350 into. 🤣😂🤣 So jealous.
Black carbon smoke and oil consumption are two different things. And--burning a quart of oil every 1,000 miles is not acceptable.
Buy a RAM, 6.4 hemi to add to the mix. The reliability of the hemi and a 8 speed transmission ( german made), are awesome. Ram, seems to be waiting to release something above all makes. Ford and Chevy are about numbers, Ram has reliability. All of them are nice, but reliability is the most important. 10 speed transmissions and new engines need time to prove themselves.
Oh yeah, make it a 3500 SRW, 4.10 rear.
Like the videos.
The 8 speed really brings out the 6.4.
Ram won't hold a candle to the godzilla neither will the chebbie put them in the real mountains pulling big loads once I've got 70 k on my godzilla truck nothing comes close to it in the real work world .....
I looked at a Ram before buying a 2024 2500. What turned me off was the 2500 Ram has rear Xle coil springs not leafs. Pullin an RV with Coils sucks.
@@neilcigelske4454 I had a Ram 2500 with the coil spring/linked rear suspension. It handled a 5th wheel and TT just fine. Only thing with it is more stuff to wear out or maintain than traditional leaf spring rear setup. They do ride much better than leafs...
@@neilcigelske4454 , yes maybe the 3500 srw would be better of course. Or, try the timbren for the leaf springs.
That trans was engineered by ford not Allison built in collaboration between GM and Ford.
That is a common misunderstanding. It is not the same transmission you’re talking about. That one is installed in the 1500 series. Completely different transmission.
1 gt of oil every 1000 miles is just nuts in my opion.
I have nothing against Ford’s Ram or GM. I think they all have their quirks. However, I am a GM guy. Chevy. I think the new HD’s are great. The Allison is what we’ve been waiting for. But, the oil thing bothers me. I have a 2011 1/2ton 6.2ltr max. 225k miles. Routinely toe at max weight. No oil burn at all. I have a friend that works for GM in truck assembly. He has no answer for me as to why this is happening. Honestly, that’s concerning. And is giving me reservations about getting one. You’d think for the kind of money they ask for these rigs. They would get it right. Especially, in this case, settling a law suit for the same darn thing.
Absolutely 💯....I have had many say they aren't burning any oil with the 6.6. I'll be watching this like a hawk and is concerning for sure. If your 11 is still trucking and doing what you need, I'd wait a few years to see if this oil thing becomes a small number or a big one. I'll be posting part 1 of towing with the chevy today, pretty cool stuff. Thanks for posting.
@@automotiveinquiries9673 looking forward to that. Great advice. I’m thinking about trading up in truck, because I’d like to go bigger with a trailer. I haul horses, hay, and farm stuff. But, I need a heavier higher payload truck more than anything. I cover multiple trailers then. With the half ton. It’s great for what it does. But, it’s light duty.
The Allison transmissions have had their issues also!
@@barrywood8358 best transmission out there
I have 19000 on mine it has not used any oil between changes they all so saying ford 7.3 is having liffter problems so people gonna hate when they can't afford one there self my opinion
1 qt per 1000 miles is acceptable? You said the Dealer/GM bulletins said this is ok?
Yeah the tsb does say it's acceptable, to burn 1 qt for 100 gallons if fuel, so at 10 mpg, that would be 1300 or less miles, but doesn't say that it will. I've only towed with mine 4k, zero usage. I haven't had one watcher report they were burning oil.
@@automotiveinquiries9673 thanks
I have 2020 2500 hd 6.6 gas. I'm getting 17 mpg town, 22 mpg highway, 13 when towing my 20ft boat
Is your chevy the 6.5 standard bed ? And what hitch are you using . Is it a slider ?
Sounds like the narrator is more concerned about lipstick than areal work trucks capacity
Funny the Chevy is tallest but has the least ground clearance.... What happens when someone lifts it for ground clearance???
Can you tell me why Chevy made this 6.6 gas when the 6.2 is just as powerful? Why not just use the 6.2?
6.6 is built to work and put that power out day in and day out. 6.6 has way more torque at lower rpm
Basically what Eric said 6.2 is car engine 6.6 is built as a truck engine. 6.6 also use regular gas and makes peak power with. 6.2 needs premium
Yes, the other repy is correct, the 6.2 is a good motor, but isn't commercially rated, it uses an alluminum block with cast iron liners, while the new 6.6 has a complete cast iron block. Made to take punishment, handle heat better and last longer.
Cast Iron Block = Longevity
Nobody is talking about the need of an oil catch can with a direct injection engine... research it
The 10 speed Allison from what I been told actually has Ford parts in it
The joint 10 speed venture between GM and Ford was for the half ton trucks and other SUV's that Ford has. The HD allison isn't connected to Ford in any respect, nor did Ford copy it for the TorqueShift.
Nice truck. I wanted a chevrolet but the DFM worried me. I only heard bad things about it. I bought a Ram with a 5.7 Hemi. It get 23mpg with mid grade gas. The Ram has MDS which costs $2500 to repair when it fails unlike Chevy DFM at $6500.
I had 19 Silverado 1500 with AFM and 21 Trail Boss with DFM and auto stop. I just traded my 21 Trail Boss LT for 24 2500HD LT Gasser. Awesome truck and love the fact it doesn’t have either DFM and AFM. I had nothing but problems with both trucks, including my Trail Boss continually shutting off as I was pulling out of my driveway one day. Which I believe was attributed to the auto stop. I bought the module that shuts all that off and once installed they both ran beautifully for another 30,000 or so miles til trade in. Every time I had to remove the module for inspection they ran like crap til I put it back in. Garbage technology.
23 mpg…… maybe downhill if that’s what you’re measuring 😂
The brand new Chevy burns oil and gets terrible fuel millage. Makes the choice pretty easy for me!
Does the ford handles better under a load pulling vs chevy 6.6
Where did you get those floor liners? I can't find them.
Almost an Allyson like a home depot John Deere
Get a 6.4 hemi next...
I my self think the 2500hd front end looks better than the 1500s for the last 4 years
Is that Chevy a short bed and you don't use a sider hitch
Nice truck, just cant stand fake hood scoops ! And yes Alison doesn't care as long as they get their paycheck, dont kid yourself. Tailgate is something I wouldn't pay for. Good luck with both trucks.
The only reason I see why the fake scoop in its cheaper to have one part number for HD hoods instead of 2 different parts.
I had a 2020 Godzilla that I wanted to like.
Averaged 7mpg was spending over $3500/month in fuel when fuel was cheap.
Went to a 21 Silverado 2500 diesel averaged just shy of 12 mpg.
Then went to a 2022 f-250 tremor diesel that I'm at 13mpg average.
I daily tow 7 days a week. If I was always In my city I could justify a gasser but doing the highway I literally just watched my fuel gauge go down so for me that added costs of a diesel and maintenance is worth it because gassers absolutely destroyed me in fuel.
Thats great mileage towing for the Tremor. Yeah if you're towing all the time diesel is only way to go. I do mixed driving so I can get by with the gas in most situations. When I'm loaded 15K+ it does suck the fuel down though.
Ford, Chevy and GMCs, the issues need to be worked out before I will give up my 2013. I don't care what the heck they look like function is everything! Urban cowboys need to let it go and drive KIAs!🤣👍
Wasn't sure. So it is the exact same trans as Duramax. Are you sure?
Ir sure is and yep. Confirmed model number etc....with multiple sources and at the dealer...same.one and model number
@@automotiveinquiries9673 looking at a standard cab 2024. Really like the truck. Allison means a lot to me. Big v8 10 speed. GM fan because of my truck experiences. All my Chevy's have gone over 300k. One did have trans failure at 60k. Vortecmax 6.0 alum with a not so heavy duty trans. But they rebuilt and I went to 290k until sold no problem.
@joethomas6457 right on. Yeah the ten speed om the 6.6 is a fame game changer. I think You'd like it for sure
Did you need a slider 5th wheel hit h with the standard bed??
No, you should be great with a standard hitch...both chevy and ford have longer standard beds than the ram...but I've never had a slider.
A quart of oil every 1000 miles...are you kidding me ??? I have a 2016 chevy 3500, SRW, crew cab, 8' bed with the 6 litre. I got 31,000 on it, doesn't burn a drop as far as I can tell. I wish chevy would come out with a big V-8 to match. I have a truck camper & sometimes pull a 6000 Ib boat, it is a dog on some of the hills in southern Ohio. But I won't buy a truck that burns a quart of oil every 1000 miles...B.S. Chevy.
What’s BS is this oil consumption story that keeps getting repeated when it’s not even a common issue.
None of these gas engines are even close to eating at the same table as the diesels. They have half or less the torque of the diesels and less HP. Yes, they are less expensive to buy and operate, but no where near the torque of the diesels. I own a 6.0 gas and a 6.7 Cummins & there’s no comparison in towing between the two.
True they do have less ,but remember when the 5.9 and the 7.3 and the fist 6.6 had less hp and torque than the gassers of today and people swore they were the best ever.....just saying, most really need just a little more than a half ton but not a diesel...and really with all the emissions garb.....a modern diesel is not a drive around town, grocery getter idle at the school truck. And being a diesel owner of all them, i truely believe that they xan eat at the table, but diesels will always be the big big tow winners
After having a Chevy and Ford diesel i dont need the diesel cost to buy and operate now I need the heaver frame, brakes and suspention.
Well yeah they have turbos. Put turbo on a gasser she'll wake right up too
Ad a Catch can
Gmc at4 looks better minus the stupid fender flares with amber markers
The Chevy front facia sucks badly. What is with the crazy lights? Two giant lights stacked on each other and an upper thinner light. How they think that is a cool style is beyond me. He is even going to do an upgrade on the lights because he knows it sucks lol. The hard plastic everyone is lame, is that thing in the middle supposed to be an infotainment system? ROFL
You'll easily get 17-18 in that Chevy
No matter what you say, that truck is one of the ugliest truck out there... Buy a GMC
Lol....it is a face only a mother could love...I like it....but thats what's been great about gm for years....you have the gmc alternate. Luckily other than a face lift the good stuff about the chevy will cross over to the sierra.
where did you get your truck at?
The red truck was from autonation chevy in denver....I'd go through them or foundation chevrolet in wheatridge.
You could not give me a GMC product with all the problems they have way worse than Ford Motor Company
Dude the interior in these trucks compared to 2017ish years is cheapo, my LT 2017 has way nicer interior than these new models, they are cutting cost to make more money and price still higher
Just wondering how many viewers were triggered by the Trump sign reflection in your sunglasses. 😂😂
Honestly, tons, they left me nasty comments, which I deleted. I try not to advertise anything in my videos, but stuff happens, no apologies here....God bless America!
MAGA Forever !
allison was owned by gm
