A little birdy told me today that the 3rd generation Duramax, RPO code "LBZ" will begin production in September. 650 Ft/Lbs, 360Hp. Higher fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, quieter operation, and greater reliability are being touted.... THIS IS ALL I KNOW.... Tweet tweet tweeet:D

Hi Max,

Is this engine supposed to come out 'this' September or next? I'm special ordering my truck, either March or April of next year so hopefully this 'new engine' would be in production by then.

Thank you,

PFlorenzano.:)

Sounds good. Reliabilty and fuel economy are most important. The hp/tq numbers are nice but how will they do the other two at the same time. That is questionable.

Are the injector problems cured in the newer trucks? Do we know yet? I don't want another truck that goes to the dealer after every RV trip with another code!

The LBZ won't start production until late October. Until then, it's a LLY with the new 6-speed Allison.
