6.6L Duramax L5D

The 6.6L Duramax L5D is a derivative of the L5P designed specifically for class 4/5 commercial vehicle applications. The engine is found in the 2019 and newer Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD, 6500HD, and International CV medium duty trucks. The Chevrolet and International medium duty platforms were developed through a strategic partnership between Navistar International and General Motors. Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD truck models are essentially a Chevrolet branded International CV chassis. Likewise, the 6.6L L5D Duramax is re-branded as the International 6.6L in Navistar International CV applications. Due to the marketing similarities, there's no data that suggests there is any difference between the 6.6L turbodiesel in either GM or International applications.

6.6L L5D Duramax Engine Specs & Information

The L5D is a detuned version of the more powerful L5P offered in Chevrolet/GMC pickup and chassis cab trucks. The 6.6L Duramax L5D and International 6.6L are rated a peak 350 horsepower and 700 lb-ft of torque. The engines are mated to one of several Allison six speed automatic transmission options that include the model 1700, 1750, and 2700 series; no manual transmission is available in either the Chevrolet nor International truck platforms.
