I was hoping after SEMA we would start getting some sneak peaks into what was coming for the 3.0, but no luck thus far.  Anyone else heard anything?  Nothing much from what I have tried to research.

Looks like Banks is working on a tuner for the 3.0   https://official.bankspower.com/insider_news/3-0-liter-duramax-derringer-development/

I've been running one for about 1500 miles with about 85% of those are highway cruising.  It does make a noticeable increase in power but I haven't dynoed or timed it so how much I can't say. Playing

Yup.  Talking to Green Diesel Engineering (the major EcoDiesel tuner) the EPA kicked down their doors and pretty much shut it all down.  I had just down an CPU swap prior to this after the EPA settlem

A very long time. Its a new engine and there's not many out there. It's also very complex and monitored heavily be sensors. I'm sure someone will make a CAI that does nothing, but years until real upgrades. I'd love to see someone delete one; I bet it gets 35MPG but that's a long way out.

Especially with the epa cracking down on diesel tuning I’d expect it will be a ways out.

This ^.  I came to my Silverado (5.3 TB) from a Ram EcoDiesel.  A year ago there was a healthy aftermarket for performance tuning.  In the fall of this year they were all shut down by the EPA.  I dont see this happening without a change in the EPA (not likely).

Some places are doing EPA compliant tuning but you miss out on deleting and all the cool diesel sounds you used to get. Pretty sure I’m going 6.2 and waiting for a Procharger [emoji16]

About the only thing I could see coming is a free flowing exhaust.   But then again the little 3.0 may sound like crap with it.

With the DPF in place the sound won't change one little bit, it's just for looks.

I was going to put a cutout ahead of the muffler until I looked under and saw no muffler. Strait piped from the factory!(how are we supposed to pass visual inspection when the time comes?) A chambered muffler might help but I think the biggest change in sound will be from an increase in pipe size to 3.5" or 4" but then you might have to worry about room. The stock pipe runs between the def tank and the driveshaft where a muffler would normally be and it's a tight spot.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
