Well, if the demand shows up, there will be some outfit that will have E85 modification kits and tunes available at some point.  At least one can hope.

I don't ever recall the rear end on the 2500s being a different size based on gas or diesel. Trans yes, but not rear end.

It's based on power.  Diesels generally can put more torque through the drivetrain, so they get bigger diffs.  My 6.0L gas gets a 10.5" pumpkin, but if it were a 6.6L duramax or the 8.1L gas, it would get the 11.5" one.

That makes sense, I just never realized or noticed somehow. I pride myself on being pretty knowledgeable about all GM trucks. Current stable includes a 8.1L/Alison and a 6.0/6spd. I'm checking them out today! Thanks for the info!

6.6L gas is running 11.5" ring gear for 2020.

Thanks. Just curious, if i bought a new truck, i think i would want the srw 3500 just for full torque in all gears and the new 12" rear end on the dmax. I current have a 12 denali hd with 24k on the odo... waiting for the 21 for the interior refresh.

Has anyone dyno tested the 2024 Allison 10/1000 equipped Silverado HD 6.6 gas?  How much more Horse power does it take to turn that transmission than the 6L90E?

    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉       
    • I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
