2020 L5P

loganck97 · February 3, 2019

Just watched a video on Banks Power's instagram talking about a "new" L5P for 2020. Hoping they use Gale's knowledge to up the power and get closer to that 1k ft. lbs. from the factory. Thoughts?

GM published numbers indicate the 2020 will have same HP and torque as the 2019.

Haven't yet seen anything from GM that says the rpo is still L5P (but seems likely since output the same)

Is this a new Banks video? (or the teardown and review one from a couple years ago?)

Link?

This is the probably link you're talking about. We have several 2020 L5Ps here being torn down right now for inspection.

I assume it’s new stuff from Banks, not from GM.

Looks like it's stuff from the factory, but i'm sure /gale had some influence.

Do watch the link in Logans post. (or here)

It's NOT the video from Jay's post.

It's IS a walk through of a bunch of changes made to the 2020 L5P, and it's not a Banks sales pitch.

He does take a shot or two at the 'lets make massive horsepower for a few seconds crowd'.

It's about 14 minutes.

I found it an interesting watch.

It was a great watch. It seems GM is stepping it up in the cooling factory (finally). The 17-19 L5P’s cooling is much better than years prior and it looks like 2020 is bringing even more improvements.

Thank you for the other video. So much more cooling from GM for towing heavy loads. Great info.

Give the credit to Loganck97 who posted the original link.

I was just trying to make sure everyone realized it was not the same as the teaser vid where Gale was 'hiding' the engines in the shop.

Only big change i know of is that is the Dirtymax's will all have 10 speeds now, kind of odd they didn't give the 6.6 the 10 speed as well but then again this is GM, as some of their options dont make sense. I also dont see the numbers changing on the DIrtymax . It runs great and GM is not into the numbers game as much( HP and TQ that is ) but the new 35k towing is bad ass

No change to ratings, but take the time to watch Gale's video regarding the L5P changes for 2020.

Biggest difference from the TFL Truck videos that I took away was the fact that unlike the 2017-2019 L5P, there is no power choking in 1st gear. They re-calibrated the powertrain to offer all the beans in 1-10th gear.

There is new trans driveshaft and differentials/axles to support it...
