Chevy 2500 HD 6.6L Gas (L8T) With NEW ALLISON 10 Speed Transmission | Same as DURAMAX??

[@bigmurph1447]

I have a 2024 chevy 3500 with the 6.6l gas it works really well. I have pulled 18000lbs with it and was shock how well it did. So far my truck has not used a drop of oil.

[@MXvsATV144]

That’s good to hear!!! think a lot of people are still hung up on the old gas trucks or just old trucks period… when we had 4 speeds, 5 speeds, etc…. like my 2015 Ram still has a 6 speed trans. Even with its 6.7 Cummins with 450hp 1000torque numbers… a 6 speed still hinders it compared to todays 8 speeds an 10 speeds when towing… That 6.6 Gasser at upper 300hp to the wheels can stay in power easier then before…

[@michaelschmidt5444]

I have a 2024 3500, and went from a 2008 Duramax Diesel to the 6.6 gas. I was very Leary to make this change however I do not regret it at all. It is a towing beast and I tow all the time. I picked the truck up the 2nd week of July 2023 and it has 30,000 miles on at this time. It gets about 7.5 to 8.0 hauling and I haul very large loads. This is about 1.0 miles per gallon worst then the 2008 Diesel. I am in northern Michigan and Diesel is approximately 1.00 dollars a gallon more then gas all the time. I do not have to deal with Def fluid or regens. GM in my opinion hit the nail on the head with this 6.6 gas mated to the ten speed trans I don’t miss the diesel one bit.

[@marcusriley7309]

I work for allison. It's not even a allison transmission. We have zero engineering in the 10 spd. It was tested by allison so we could give it a thumbs up. It's branding at its finest.

If you read the fine print, it’s Allison “inspired “. It’s not an Allison. This includes the diesel transmission. GM paid Allison to use their name.

Yikes! What’s the best transmission in todays truck market?

[@bjenkins803]

It's a good transmission. Saves mileage for sure. Just keep it serviced. I do agree that the internal filter is annoying but it does make you properly clean the pan. The filter is a lot bigger too. It runs cooler also.

[@5858mjt]

Branded or not, a company with a reputable reputation wouldn’t brand something not good. That’s like you endorsing an employee to get hired who has zero good work ethics and calls out. I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t stamp or approve that. Allison would mess up their money with their name on something that wasn’t good.

Here in rust belt Ontario, its interesting to hear about the different engines and transmissions, but for me its all trumped by the better paint on the Ford frames and the aluminum body. Have a 2017 F250 6.2L 6speed with 237k km and the body is still perfect and the frame almost perfect.

Correct info on GM transmission: Ford and GM jointly designed their 10 speed tranny. At the end of the process each of them “tweaked” their own design to make them unique but they are 90% the same.

I have a 24 ZR2 with the 6.6 gas. Truck drives great and the transmission shifts very smooth. Acceleration feels great down low and around town. It does feel a little flat up top though. Basically feels like most of it's power is in the 1st 1/3 of the peddle. Putting it to the floor doesn't give you much more acceleration. Good overall, if they could give it more pepp up top, it would be perfect.

Different trans, but I have a 2022 GMC 6.6 gas 4x4. does not use any oil, no issues of any sort. Have had a catch can on it from new, usually 2 tablespoons of oil every 2k miles. My lifetime average with 22k miles is 14.6, mpg with lots of cold weather and 4x4 use. On longer trips with cruise, unladen, I get close to 18.

[@adamhutto1660]

I had the same truck. It was a lemon from jump. 4 attempts to seal my rear window that leaked. I then came to find out it was a flaw in the body itself. They didn't believe me about the terrible hard shifting, and down shifting until they pulled the trans. pan to find metal fragments from the torque converter. Long story short, it got rebuilt at 12,000 miles then, started doing the same thing. Lost my ass getting rid of it with interest rates that went up.

[@illinoistiger8694]

The 6.6L Gas Silverado is a great truck with a reliable powertrain. The new interior and new 10 speed really helped bring out the potential with this generation. My only complaint is fuel economy (which is terrible in all HD trucks) and price. The prices of these GM gassers are less competitive than similar Fords even when both are well used.

I have a 2022 F350 Tremor with 7.3 gas. The skip shift can be annoying because it can bog down between those big shifts, so I drive around town in tow haul mode which makes it run thru all the gears. Much smoother too. The transmission really runs smooth with a load behind it.

I have 3 10 speeds in my fleet, one f150, one t350 and one f350 all 2021+ or newer. And I will tell you when you mentioned the skip shifting I realized what I was experiencing. It’s not a bad shift but more an awkward shift usually in traffic between 4-6. Other than that no complaints I love the 10 speed especially in the super duty. What a difference.

[@matthewanderson9912]

Nice video. I’ve been looking forward to this and especially the towing video. I think you will be able to disprove the common narrative that still shows up from other comments I’ve read, and that’s about the “lack of power” of the 6.6. It’s just false. As for the 10 speed, fuel economy won’t be any better. I actually think it could be slightly worse. But regardless, 8th and 9th gear is the same ratio as 5th and 6th was, and then 10th is just slightly taller OD gear. The real benefit to the 10 speed will be towing on grades and then like passing power 40-70 mph stuff. 0-60 will almost certainly be slower because the 6 speed trucks hit 60 mph in 2nd gear and the 10 speed trucks have to shift to 3rd. Shifting takes time so don’t be surprised if you find out the 0-60 is slightly slower. The lack of power comments are just laughable. Anyone that says that has very clearly never drove one of the trucks.

Any automatic transmission with many gears is a high wear unit, more moving parts equals premature wear. I would prefer a manual 6 speed transmission.

I would like to point out to potential consumers that an important portion of this video feels misleading. I recently purchased a 2024 2500HD with the L8T (6.6 gas) and the transmission is definitely NOT the GM/Ford codeveloped lighter duty 10L80 that is put in the 1500 trucks. The transmission is most definitely the GM/Allison codeveloped 10L1000 that comes behind the Duramax in the HD trucks since 2020. Of course it needs a different torque converter, shift points, etc to work with the gas engine(hence the different part number), however, it is essentially the same HD trans that weighs ~360 lbs vs the lighter duty 10L80 that weighs about 230 lbs. I say this with confidence, I crawled under my truck before I bought it, and examined the trans itself and transmission pan shape and bolt pattern to be sure. It is correct that Allison doesn't build it, GM does, they just worked together during the design and testing, but that has been the case for DMax HD transmissions since 2020 as well.

How dd you get yours past 96MPH? I have the GMC Denali 2500HD and it won't go past 96

[@steddyk]

He was driving in kilometres. These trucks are governed so you don’t tow 20k pounds at 200 mph.

[@Stlchevy]

You driving a truck that weighs like 8,000lbs 96mph? Lots of energy to put into a wreck, not to mention no shot the speed code on your tires support 90+mph

[@ffarmchicken]

In the States, there is a speed limiter of 98 mph on the 2500HD.

[@danbuxton6667]

In canada the limiter is set to 160 kmh

[@jeffreygoss8109]

Is Allison really still Allison? Didn’t they license the name? I can live with poor mpg if I’m not stuck with repairs.

[@ffarmchicken]

Reliability is number one with me too. My life depends on it.😮

[@owen33333]

I have the 2024 GMC 3500HD gas, no complaints after 480 miles, but I would like a dipstick! I did have a recall for the aux battery that might not be charging, 3 hour software update done at the dealer yesterday.

[@Drg24800]

6.6 vs 6.4 which is better?

[@Naturallytalented]

Which new truck has true Allison transmission?

[@jamesdutton5439]

I love the 10 speed on my 2024 L5P. Only weird thing is every time I underbody was my truck the check engine light comes on and then goes away. The duramax is great but unfortunately I had to have my EGR replaced at 9k miles and my tow mirrors replaced. Kinda leaning towards a Toyota tundra with the v6.

[@paulbenderavich3833]

Consider a Titan XD vs the Tundra.

[@Lastcall115]

Ford Super Duty no longer skip shifts starting in 2023 models

[@jasonstoppa]

I can echo the previous comment with my 2024 GMC 3500 6.6l gas with the ten speed being a very capable combo and a real joy to tow with. No oil consumption for me either. Now at 6500kms.

[@Danpopup]

The Allison 10-speed tranny is actually built by GM. They just pay to use the Allison name.

[@realcdcruze3558]

I just can’t get over the new design. It’s a truck and it should look tried and true, not gimmicky like a Tesla. I think Ram and Ford have the styling hands down.

NO SIR

[@Mattman2500]

For gas HD trucks, the Ram 6.4 Hemi . With the 8sdp ZF trans and 4:10 gears. Is the best all-around gasser. Just my 2 cents.

[@cstgx]

Thats a shame they didnt carry the transmission over. Ford carried it over with the 7.3.

[@EGGINFOOLS]

GM and ford didnt work together for the HD 10sp. Only the 1500

[@TheGettyAdventures]

It’s based off the same platform. Very different end products don’t get me wrong but started with that joint venture.

[@toddfinn5823]

Gm owns allison since 1928

[@taylorsvilletony773]

They sold it in 2007

[@toddfinn5823]

@taylorsvilletony773 didn't know that, what kills me when people ask if gm got Allison's stamp of approval when in all reality gm is allison or was for years!

[@rocks2rocks06]

I had a 2006 8.1 with an Allison and it was junk, a slight grade 7500lb load it would over heat and cook it, last new gm product I ever bought.

[@1hasbeen531]

Yup, I Lemon Lawed an '04 8.1/Ally that they could not make work right. Garbage.

[@anthonyandreula3978]

So GM can't engineer a transmission (Allison), or their own diesel (Duramax aka Isuzu)...interesting.

[@VAFarmer318]

The torqshift and Allison were not co-designed. Only the 10R80 and 10L80 used in half ton trucks were.

Absolutely nothing Allison about this transmission. It is strictly marketing nonsense. 8:34

If it legally says Allison, it’s an Allison. They ok their name for it, so it’s an Allison.

@@slidewide1999 i'm sorry you had trouble with reading comprehension. What you described is called marketing nonsense

At the outset, they were at least being somewhat honest, and calling it "Allison approved".

[@thisjustin878]

It's always been marketing nonsense. GM owned the Allison brand for ages and was just slapping the name on to help sell the truck to brand snobs.

The simple truth is if you tow a lot, diesel makes a lot of sense. If you tow in the summer a half dozen times a year, don’t be stupid and save the money. You might get your macho bragging rights, but you won’t win any smart awards.
