What about the 8 speed transmission being paired to the new 3.6L V6? Any word on whether or not this transmission will be paired to the 2.8L Duramax.

Nope. I will keep watching for that. Maybe with all the torque they don't need the added intermediary gears. First and 6th can be as wide as the 1-8. Just thinking out loud.

I'd actually consider one of these trucks if they would make a power moonroof and power rear sliding window available... I don't get why they don't do this...
