I review the 2023 3.0L Duramax Diesel LZ0 in the Chevy/GMC 1500 and give you my opinion as a heavy diesel mechanic on how this engine drives and performs on the road. I discuss fuel economy (mpg), acceleration, gearing and driving feel in comparison to the first gen 3L Duramax diesel engine

I hope everyone had a good weekend! I am back with this beautiful GMC elevation with the 3L Duramax diesel engine in it and I take it out on the road to see how this engine feels in the real world and see if this second gen LZ0 Duramax feels different then the LM2 Duramax 3L

Unfortunately I do not have my trailer with me so there won't be any towing with this second gen Duramax engine just yet. But I can't wait to see this thing strapped with some good weight behind it to see how it performs.

I was very curious to see if the added horse power to this 3L diesel engine would be noticeable on the road in comparison to the first gen. and to my surprise the added power and torque GM gave to this 3L Duramax was actually super noticeable. it felt like this engine just had another gear when accelerating.

same like the first gen is the noise. I love the sound of an inline 6 diesel and this small 3L sounds pretty good. obviously not as loud as some of the much larger diesel engine I work on but still has that famous inline 6 diesel knock.

the other major thing about this 3L Duramax diesel engine is the fuel economy and wow is this thing efficient. getting almost 27mpg with me just messing around is very impressive for a truck that can tow over 13,000 lbs.

overall I really liked the way this 3L engine drives and this truck in general has a pretty good feel overall!

I hope you guys liked the video!
