There are rumors out there about the 2017 Silverado/Sierra 2500HD coming out with the L5P Duramax

The rumors I have heard it's pushing 1000 ft/lb of torque with 450 hp and can tow 25,000 lb.

What have you folks heard,


 
I have to admit towing with that thing at half of its limit verses a 2500 at its full limit would be a breeze
 
mine with a tune = 479hp and 935 tq
the big three are just getting started
recent issue of engine builder had an article about the
current crop of diesels, the duramax bottom end will
handle 2000 lb/tq  its getting the rest of the driveline
to survive that!!!!~! :beating:
 
Yeah that's what I have been reading, power wars. Shouldn't the Allison handle it
 
And the numbers are 445 HP 910 ft- lb

I want a Sierra HD All Terrain X for a retirement present  :eek: 

That would take the sting out of losing my Avalanche  :B:

Maybe they will give you one instead of a Gold Watch.  :D

I got a gold ring several years back,...

I was going to try to avoid a lunch party but probably can't now.
I'd sit thru a dozen retirement parties for a free truck  :laugh:
