Just like the 6.6 dmax, the turbo, scr and dpf make it quiet enough that there is no muffler or resonator.

 

On the 6.6 the emission stuff is under the truck.

On the 3.0 it's in the engine bay. 

 

Visual inspection will require opening the hood....

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

I would think someone like Edge and Banks could get us a little more though with emissions intact.  Even a 50HP and maybe 50-100TQ gain would be substantial.  I am not looking for the 200HP/350TQ gains we see with our big brothers as I have had numerous 6.6s.

S&B is working on an intake, nothing for bolt on exhaust either so going custom is the only way but I would wait on that. I did a 4" filter back system and it hardly made a difference sound wise. Not worth the time/money in my opinion

Exhaust won’t do much on the lm2. It’s basically straight as it can be. Tuners are needs to get rid of the emissions then you could get some real sound of on it and some extra power. 
 

all patiently waiting for tuners and other goodies to hit the market

I am awaiting the S&B intake.

 

The exhaust is a straight pipe already, so there's no changing that.

 

AG diesel or whomever has some box out that adds power but it has two connectors ( i believe) and it just seems like a basic fooler box. those never work out as expected over time. 

 

Banks is the one to watch as they understand how things work (watch their l5p comparison with the edge unit)

I emailed Banks a couple weeks ago and the response was "support is coming around next Summer". Hopefully that means Summer 2021 and not 2022. I'd get that and the S&B intake when it is out, even if the intake is basically for sound. Hoping they (Banks) can bring the LM2 up over 300hp and 500 lb/ft. Deleted diesels sound cool but not sure I'd want to go messing with that stuff.

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 with it Durning normal cruise I can't really tell a difference when changing to different settings. The mpg economy screen in the dash is reporting about 2 mpgs better than before I had it installed, so it is doing something, but I haven't hand calculated the mileage to verify that either(not really concerned with mileage). As a side note, I've been using sport mode more often since install, but even leaving the transmission in normal mode you can feel it has more power down low. I have yet to try manually shifting and just let the transmission do its thing in either mode.

I did log some via HPtuners and I can't really see a noticeable increase in egt but I'm no pro especially when it comes to diesel.

Over all it will hold me over until real tuning is available and im satisfied with it. Might jump over to the Banks Derringer once it's available if HPtuners still hasnt cracked the ecm by then, and sell this since the Derringer is supposed to keep the extra power longer. Check out the comparison video Banks does on the Derringer vs the other guys on the L5P if you haven't watched it already. I suspect that similar things are happening with the LM2.

Looks like trash.

Heavy towing, lets add 15hp.  LOL.   Am I reading that right?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.

      T3's and Ibuprofen. I do have a cryotherapy unit (ice machine) and a lift chair that will allow me to raise my legs above my heart.  There are topicals that I can use once the wound is fully healed.
