This 3.0 liter diesel is an Opel engine out of Germany, not Japanese like the larger Duramax marketed diesels. For your FYI.

The 6.6l is and always has been built in Ohio. Isuzu helped GM design it but they have been out of the picture for a long time and sold their part of DMAX Ltd a couple of years ago (after the initial design they helped with, it was mostly an investment for Isuzu). 

The 3.0l diesel was mostly designed in Turin Italy (with Opels help) and has always been built in Flint, MI. It was a new engine from the ground up.

The 2.8l 4 cylinder diesel used in the Colorado/Canyon was an existing VM Motori engine and that company is now owned by Stellantis. It was owned by Fiat at the time when GM started using it.

Thanx for the intel.

 

I've been to Turin, and it is really an automotive engineering capital!

Bought a used 2023 GMC Yukon XL SLT 3.0L Duramax in December 2024 with 7,900 on it. Absolutely love the truck and the diesel was the right choice as I'm seeing about 50% better fuel economy then a friend of mine who has a 2021 Suburban with the 5.3L. The vehicle did indicate the best MPG seen was 34.6 mpg when I bought it. Not sure how fast or what road someone was driving on but still impressive. My first 100 mile road trip saw 28 mpg avg and included mostly highway. We recently just took a longer road trip from outside of Philadelphia to Sunday River ME. Roughly 500 miles one way in very cold, wet and snowy conditions. Truck was loaded with 4 people, bags, food and Thule roof box for the skis. We avg 24 mpg and was all highway except for the last 60 miles. The computer indicated an additional 112 miles of range when we arrived. The roof box does give a 3-4 mpg penalty which I have seen in other vehicles of mine as well. Still given how big of a vehicle this is, I'm extremely happy with the result. I am running opti-lube XPD additive as well. On the way home the first 60 miles of the trip was more back roads to get to I-95 and we avg 28 mpg for that portion of the drive. The rest of the trip avg was 24 mpg. I do run in 2WD instead of AUTO as much as possible when road conditions allow. 95% of the trip was 2WD. I haven't truly tested if being in 2WD does provide better fuel economy or not over AUTO. Anyone else have a good read on this?

      Holy smokes. Clearly not a deal on that truck. I just mean in general, matte or painted trim is becoming more normative than chrome, but I know the Black Optics packages on various vehicles are being sold as uplevel trims. They look really good, but sheesh. It's just paint and plastic.

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz is a first principle. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject to advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.

      It costs $5,250 for the Yukon Nightfall option (black wheels, emblems and illuminated black GMC grill badge). What a "deal".

      I keep getting the above error message on my 25 Sierra.  If I reset the infotainment unit (via the phone hang up button) it will work again for a day or 2.   But I dont want to do have to reset  all the time. Works fine in my 2023 Corvette. On both vehicles I connect wirelessly.   I have a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, phone is up to date.  Any Ideas.  See attached

      LOL, its thrown a few people because this item is being talked about in the gas part of the HD forum. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to put a very brief wording in your profile with the year/GM or Chev/2500 or 3500/ and yes the 6.6 Duramax. When I joined this forum I could see the confusion ensuing for my own truck unless I had it listed with my chosen name handle unless one has a few vehicles that apply to a GM forum as that becomes confusing as well. Anyway its all good, makes for a little forum excitement 😉
