I Review the 2024 Chevy 2500 HD 6.6L Gas L8T engine with the NEW 10 SPEED ALLISON Transmission. I go over the engine specs, horsepower, upgraded towing figures and perform a full towing review in the real world. I pull 14,000lbs behind this truck on my 120 miles towing loop to measure and compare acceleration, engine braking, power and performance, gear shifting and fuel economy. finally I give my conclusion as a licensed heavy duty mechanic on this new 10 Speed Allison Transmission with the gas 6.6L engine.
What I Use:
Engine Oil - amzn.to/4aEbtNE
Engine Oil Filter - amzn.to/3J1nDUM
Engine Air Filter - amzn.to/3JMmMVV
Cabin Air Filter - amzn.to/3JMZAHh
Gear Oil - amzn.to/3PoIcxa
Penetrating fluid - amzn.to/3EOclkx
Rust protection - amzn.to/3Zo0Rh6
Towing Gear:
10 ton Pintle hitch (2.5" receiver) - amzn.to/3r7Axvm
7 Ton Adjustable hitch (2" receiver) - amzn.to/46i2iAf
Adjustable Pintle hitch mount (2.5" receiver) - amzn.to/3RqHGS3
15 Ton Pintle hitch - amzn.to/45SaCqv
10,000lbs Tie Down Straps - amzn.to/3ZBnxeh

Sony A6400 - amzn.to/3vkqzob
I hope everyone has a good holiday weekend. I got the pleasure of driving this new 2024 chevy 2500 with the 10 speed Allison in it. as promised I put my loaded trailer behind this gasser and pull it down the highway.
I wanted to compare the upgraded 10 speed Allison transmission to the older 2023 6.6L gas engine that comes with the 6 speed transmission and see the differences of towing performance between both trucks.
the 2024 chevy 2500 with the 10 speed felt so much more alive and pulled stronger through the whole rpm range and through most different speeds when doing down the highway.
the biggest difference was the response and the downshifting when coming up hills. it made a massive difference and I think potential buyers are going to really like the upgraded 10 speed much more when towing.
overall when comparing the new 2024 chevy HD 2500 to the 7.3L Godzilla gas engine in the ford super duty. I think the gap is much smaller and both trucks are very comparable and able to pull those big towing numbers with ease.
I really like what GM has done with this chevy HD gas pick up truck.

Bought this truck after our 2017 ram 2500 Cummins left me stranded on Washington hi-way 28 last year. 78k miles on the ram when the def plugged up and the turbo controller malfunctioned while towing 9k pounds. Miss the exhaust brake but love this truck more in every other way. Smoother, quieter and more comfort. No more turbo engines or diesels for this family!

I’ve been towing with the 6.6 and the six speed with a much lower weight - about 7000 pounds - and it’s been great. I don’t really care much about acceleration but I love our the low RPMs I get going uphill. That engine does not seem to be working hard. As always excellent objective overview - good luck with the new shop!

Love the review; I think weather plays a huge part in this test, you could have had a strong head wind going up that hill, and for fuel efficiency I bet you're still on winter gas. My bet is if you redid this in 3 months on a beautiful calm summer day like the 6 speed was tested at, you'd find better fuel efficiency and less RPMs going up that hill, as somebody who tows RVs very frequently there is a huge difference between wind/rainy days and calm sunshiny summer days. Still, obvious from your run here that it's a better truck all around.

Towing with a 24 Silverado 3500 SRW gas. Trailer is a toy hauler, bumper pull, just shy of 36’ long. Empty trailer weight is just shy of 10k lbs and GVWR is 13K lbs. truck does a good job, I would call it adequate. I get about 7.5 mpg towing and 14-15 empty. I don’t tow that often so for 90% of my miles, the gas engine is perfect. Previous truck was a 21 Ram 3500 megacab dually high output towing a 45’ fifth wheel toy hauler with a GVWR of 19,000 lbs and empty weight of about 15,000 lbs. I miss the diesel power and exhaust brake, but I don’t miss the maintenance cost, DEF, higher per gallon fuel cost, concerns about not if but when I’d have an emissions issue. In my opinion, I think the 6.6 gas with a supercharger tuned for torque (not screaming high end HP) would be a really nice option. GM has plenty of supercharger experience on small blocks, they could figure it out. If they did, absolute game changer. I’d think they would sell great for those that need a little more than the base gas engine. The other thought would be to punch this engine out to 7.0 liters, it could use a bit more ummph, that’s my only complaint.

@jimmywu12345 3 месяца назад

Hi, great video, can I ask a question? I have the same truck , do you think I need put an oil catch can for this engine? I was thinking maybe occasionally use Shell premium gas , it maybe can help clean the intake but not 100% sure 😂. Thanks

@matthewanderson9912 3 месяца назад

Nice review. I’m not surprised about the fuel mileage. I figured it would be potentially less because it’s going to keep the engine wound up more having more and closer gear ratios. You can see where the huge advantage is and that’s the gap between 2nd and 3rd on the 6 speed. It’s a pretty big jump there so I knew your 35-70 mph run would be much better. Not sure that the 0-50 will be any better though. Be similar anyways because again, the 6 speed just doesn’t have a good ratio between 2nd and 3rd gear. So 0-60 is fine with the 6 speed but above 60 mph you got a dead spot until you can get some rpm built into 3rd gear. The 10 speed has fixed that however obviously.

@hummyhero1484 3 месяца назад

Maybe the cold and rainy weather has an impact on the engine performance compared to the weather when you tested the 6 speed transmission. I’m not saying it’s gonna make a huge difference but maybe some of a difference my mpg is less in the winter than in the summer not a lot but noticeable

@bearhandfu 3 месяца назад

A couple things about MPGs : yes, weather will adjust the friction of the tires and create resistance and will affect the cruise control. I have zero clue as to whether or not Canada regulates their unleaded with a “winter blend,” which usually impacts our fuel economy in the states. Added weight? I am guessing the trailer’s wood planks are not impermeable, and when you’re talking about that much surface area, the water weight is nothing to sneeze at. The winter/spring testing is valid and useful! It’s just not quite apples to apples.

@daveallen7767 3 месяца назад

We all get lower MPG in winter or cold spring temps. Air density higher so greater wind resistance, fluids like axle grease all have higher viscosity, and wind conditions change day-to-day

@Back_door_bandit_98 2 месяца назад

Definitely not a fair test I don’t get why these RU-vidrs try to do these test when they don’t try to get the same weather conditions and the same trailer.

I got a 2024 GMC with this setup and it needed a power steering pump with 2,000 miles. The part was on back order and I got the dealership to give me a 2024 F350 7.3 instead. The GMC was nice and rode better than the ford, tighter turning radius. But I couldnt handle the issues.

@TheGettyAdventures 3 месяца назад

@DanielChesser 2 месяца назад

I think the issue with mpg is the weather. I’ve noticed in Montana I get 7mpg average towing these mountains with a 2022, and the weather definitely affects the fuel economy.

@evanwilson3277 2 месяца назад

That rain certainly affected your fuel economy, more resistance.

@flamarlamb 2 месяца назад

Yep. I always see a decrease in the rain.

@K_M_M_G 3 месяца назад

7:02 - perform a dyno comparison between the two engines and you will probably see the 7.3 makes more power at a lower RPM compared to the 6.6 7:16 - in my experience driving in the rain, especially while trailering, fuel economy typically suffers more than a warm dry day Overall, good video!

Just curious did you reset the trip meter after your 0-30 runs? Also personally I don’t mind when the truck slows down some even if its like 5-6mph just because where I live the rolling hills it’s annoying having the truck downshift after it slows down by 1mph. I usually only buy GM products decide to try a Ram granted it’s just the 1500 platform for both GM and Ram but the ram is so annoying hearing it down shift after it slows down by just 1mph

@TheGettyAdventures 3 месяца назад

Yes, those 0-30 runs were all done before I hit the highway. And thats fair, I guess its more a personal preference. these hills are pretty lenghy so the truck is going to have to downshift no matter what and I hated seeing the truck just drop speed and lug down before shifting. alot of big semi trucks with automatic transmission will do that to save fuel economy and it we get alot of drivers complaining about it.

@2lopezd 3 месяца назад

@@TheGettyAdventures I could understand that too just seems trucks even HD trucks are becoming more and more daily vehicles for people then years ago when they were seen more as work vehicles so I’m sure the manufacturer has to try and find a happy medium. BTW I appreciate all your reviews keep up the good work. I’ve been trying to decide on a new HD Diesel truck just been doing a bunch of research before I decided what route I want to go. I love the 6.7 Cummins especially the sound of it.

Diesel has a place, even small 3 liter ones. That place is for heavy towing, work, and long drives where that engine can do it's Regens in peace. Once you take away that criteria you end up with a clogged diesel that can't, and won't, do it's normal life cycle. I'm facing that dilemma now, and knowing that I drive 60 miles roundtrip daily, I can't do a full, uninterrupted, Regen during my commute I'm stuck buying a large gasser. Yes, I'll pay more for petrol but it's less expensive than an engine teardown every few years in the long run.

@tombair1 3 месяца назад

I wonder if you have all the data to let us know how many miles we have to tow with a diesel before it makes sense, also which one would you pick on the gas side?

@TheGettyAdventures 3 месяца назад

It doesn't make sense anymore, a couple years ago I drew up a comparison between the cummins and the 6.4L hemi and you would of had to drive the cummins like 800,000kms to break even. assuming nothing broke. diesel prices are not as high now but diesel engines are hard to justify in terms of a financial point because in almost all situations they will cost more money to run and own.

I use a 2002 GMC 2500HD with a 6.6 Duramax w/202,000 on the clock. I pull a 12,000 lbs fifth wheel RV and am thinking about upgrading my power unit. I am with you on the diesel emissions problems as I don't need those headaches while towing. I am thinking the Ford 7.3 Godzilla w/10 speed Allison but just caught your 6.6 GM w/10 speed Allison test and it intrigued me. Wondering which one you would prefer if you were buying, I know there's a lot of variables but in general which one would you prefer? If I buy a gas unit I would have to have the 4.30 rear gear to help over come the power loss from my diesel.

@TheGettyAdventures 3 месяца назад

You said exactly why I would go with the Ford . the option of 4.30 gears. these are HD gassers you aren't getting good fuel economy so might as well get the aggressive gearing for increased performance. Also the 7.3L is putting out more power and ford even speculates that the power ratings may be slightly under what the engines are actually putting out. when I pulled with the 7.3L with 3.73 gears I was very impressed. myself I drive a 6.4L hemi with 4.10 gears and out of all three trucks the 7.3L has the best towing performance in my opinion.

Not sure I can agree with you there. GM actually innovates more useful technologies than most any other OEM. Since the new millennium GM's developed, and introduced MRC, (Magnaride Control) 4A (4 wheel auto), composite beds. The multimatic tailgate is the best in the business IMO. The steps in the bumper, and side of the bed are ugly, but extremely useful. I prefer them to the tailgate steps in me and my wife F150's. GM camera systems have been copied by all the truck OEM. GM invented the rearview camera mirror. When talking performance cars with manual transmissions they introduced no-lift shifting, as well as auto-rev matching. They've taking the OHV playform to the next level, and the GEN5 SBC is a very modern engine. (I just wish they'd dump their crappy DOD, and adopt dual port injection) Still GEN3 Coyote even took some que's from the GEN5 SBC in Ford added nodular main caps, they went from 11mm to 12mm head bolts like the GEN5 SBC did from LS in 2014. GM is actually a very innovative company that introduces a lot of new technologies that other automakers copy.

@charlesb4267 3 месяца назад

That was my exact thought, the mileage suffered from that wet road, there is a lot of extra drag with truck and trailer tires having to push water out of the way. I was surprised at the performance improvement given the adverse conditions. Hard to control the weather and no doubt limited time/chances to do the test and have access to the truck.

@gordonborsboom7460 3 месяца назад

Could the high revs on the highway be a result of transmission learning from recent driving? Colder weather could account MPG difference. Fords seem to do better in diesel and gas MPG.

@TheGettyAdventures 3 месяца назад

the cold weather is certainly a factor, I thought it wouldn't be that big of a deal, being about 15 degrees of difference but who knows.

That was a really weird loaded pull from 60km/h It didn't downshift, even though it's a 10 speed. It literally did the entire pull from 3500rpm to 6000rpm, from 60-90km/h. Seems the truck is in desperate need of a tune just like the 6 speed trucks, which are also way better with a transmission tune

If they want to compare a gas engine to the duramax they are going to need more cubic inches. They had 496 ally combo early in the 2000's . Lets do it again. You will never beat a diesel with a gas, but you need high cid to lower the torque curve.

@ALMX5DP 3 месяца назад

6:50 I think if it shifted to (7th gear?), it would have dropped RPM to around 2700 which may have been too low for that particular condition. At that specific speed, the 6 speed might have had a better ratio to keep it in the lowest possible rpm for the given load.

Others have mentioned it, but it’s definitely the weather conditions making the fuel economy worse. The test it the same track with the same trailer hauled… but added water weight and water resistance on the road. It’s not apples to apples. Even my hybrid RAV4 gets worse mileage in those weather conditions. The fact is it did well towing in adverse weather

My GMC 2500 AT4x with this engine and transmission gets 9.8 mpg around town, 11 to 13 mpg on the highway, and 8 mpg pulling a 21-foot open bow boat. This is not enough performance for the bad gas mileage. If given the opinion again, I'd go with the diesel.

How many of you guys "actually" tow large with these beasts? I know where I live the small trucks are just family cars these days, maybe the odd off road trip (4wd required). Towing is a big selling point but I just don't see that many towing 2 ton+ on a daily basis. Is it a case of yep I can but will never do it?

Why need God's name GM not use the 4.3L (262 CID) in the PRO 1500 SWB and LWB trucks. I purchased a 1986 C-10 (1500) LWB with the 4.3L (262 CID) with only option, a 35 gallon aux tank. I was able to drive 1,100 HWY miles between fillups. I've been watching RU-vid/reading posts of mechanics stating reocurring problems with GM's power plants 2.7L (165 CID), 5.7L (348 CID), and 6.2L (403 CID). In my opion there are only two solid GM engines, 4.3L (262 CID) and the 6.6L (403 CID). My first used truck was 1963 I6 270 CID (4.4L) with 4-speed stick shift LWB that I bought from the orignal order in 1982. Addidtionally, I owned a 1988 Chevy S-10 2.5L (153 CID) 2WD SWB. So, until GM gets their act together, I'm GMC SIERRA 2500 HD CAB) 6.6L (403 CID) SLE 2WD LWB or Savana 3500 Extended Passenger Van 6.6L (403 CID). Main reasons are the 6.6L (403 CID) is old school tech, meaning no auto start-stop; dynamic cylinder deactivation; either can tow 10,000 lbs trailers. The Savana has a slight edge over the Sierra carry family members along with two Large DOG crates. As a Senior, I require a vehicle with safety features to assist me in my driving on black top roads in Georgia.
