CHEVROLET’S 2011 DURAMAX 6.6L TURBO DIESEL ENGINE - HEAVY-DUTY.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 19, 2010 -- The 2011 Duramax diesel brings together Chevrolet's proven legacy of building capable, durable heavy duty trucks, along with improved efficient and durability designed to maintain leadership.

The original Duramax turbo diesel earned its reputation for durability and led the industry with first in class common rail fuel injection and aluminum heads with a six bolt per cylinder design. This engine has more torque and horsepower than the previous one.

The new Duramax 6.6L improves on an already low-noise reputation with double pilot injection, a strengthened block. The 2011 Duramax will continue to provide outstanding cold-weather performance, with microprocessor controlled glow plugs capable of gas engine like start performance in less than 3 seconds in temperatures as low as -20degrees, without a block heater.

When it comes to durability and reliability, no other heavy duty pickup truck manufacturer has the level of experience as Chevrolet. The 2011 Duramax 6.6L will also include GM’s second-generation diesel particulate filter system. Unlike most of the competition, the Duramax regenerates its diesel particulate filter using a downstream injection of diesel fuel directly into the exhaust stream and can

travel up to 700 miles (1,125 km) between regenerations – a 300-mile (482 km) increase over the previous Duramax engine. The use of downstream injection also helps to improve engine life by eliminating concerns surrounding the possibility of diesel fuel contaminating engine oil, which can happen when fuel used for regeneration is introduced directly into the cylinder.
