DURAMAX 3.0L TURBO-DIESEL I-6
A new active thermal management system warms up propulsion components more quickly for more efficient operation.
The exhaust brake, which is available with Tow/Haul mode, can provide additional driver confidence when towing, especially when going downhill.
The driver-selectable stop/start technology enhances fuel economy by shutting off the engine at stoplights and certain other stop-and-go situations, helping save fuel. The engine automatically restarts when the driver takes his or her foot off the brake.

Silverado 1500 2WD with available Duramax 3.0L Turbo-Diesel I-6 engine: EPA-estimated 33 highway.
it’s smart.
We designed the all-new Silverado and the all-new 3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel to deliver both performance and efficiency. The engine utilizes state-of-the-art technologies to optimize every drop of fuel and takes advantage of architectural changes to make Silverado larger, lighter and more aerodynamic than before. The resulting combination offers all of the performance, refinement and capability customers want in a full-size truck, with highway fuel efficiency you would expect from a family sedan.
Highly durable materials make up key components, including iron cylinder liners within the aluminum engine block, a forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, as well as blended silicon/aluminum pistons for greater heat resistance and reduced expansion. The engine was subjected to the same extreme simulated and real-world performance testing every Chevrolet truck engine undergoes for the highest standards of durability and performance.
