Is anyone running a GM with the 6.6L gas engine, with 10 speed transmission in a 2500? I am looking to go from a diesel to the 6.6 gas and was looking for input or real world experience with this truck?

Good engine, likes fuel. With them putting the Allison transmission behind it now, I think it's a perfect combo.

We’ve got two and my BIL has a 3500 he’s pulling his 48ft camper with. I’ve been a big fan of the 6.0 for awhile, the 6.6 seems to be about as fuel efficient 😂 with a little better performance.

I’m not too worried about fuel economy, I don’t pay for fuel. Coming out of a diesel I just didn’t want to be disappointed in power and towing.

From what I've read, that 10L1000 transmission is an Allison in name only.
it's a GM design with input from Allison. The 6 speed is/was a true Allison and a much better transmission

As with every other GM Transmission that are having probles with it too

I got one just hit 15k miles. 6.6/ Allison transmission I average 13 to 14.8. But I drive hard. So far so good. This thing runs and pulls like a workhorse

I read a lot about GM having problems with transmissions but we own a bunch of them and I really don’t see any having issues until 180,000 miles or so. Is that really an issue? People used to junk the whole car at 100k!!

I have a 2020 2500HD gas w/6 speed I average 18mpg but best has been 22-24 on long trips. It pulls great and has plenty of power. My boss just purchased a 2024 gas burner wit the Allison and he gets on average 15-17 but no long trip info yet.

2020 6.6 gas.

Avg 13ish over about 50k

Transmission, 6 speed, shucks the bed at 80k. 10 speed with Allison sticker may be better


That’s my experience with mine.

Get the extended warranty!

Compare the numbers. 6.6 gas is 401 hp and 464 ft pounds of torque 13 mph. 6.6 Duramax 470 hp and 970 pounds of torque 20 mpg. No comparison. Your going to be disappointed!

I personally know of one that gave up just after being serviced (fluid drained and filter changed) at 76K.
Owner barely made it out of the dealership lot from being serviced before it started shifting crazy.
Something went wrong in the valve body

Having said that, Ram and their 68RFE is no better and the Ford with the CP4 time bomb of a fuel fump, they all have their issues.

Also have a buddy with a F150 with the turbo V 6. Only has 27K on it. Went to crank it one day and it wouldn't start.
Some sensor in his transmission went bad and prevented the truck from even starting. Not sure which transmission he has though.

GM's 6 and 8 speed transmissions and Fords 10 speed transmissons also have welll documented problems

They are machines and are gonna break at some point. I've about come to the conclusuon one in no better than another

I have a 2021 6.6 gas burner with the 6 speed transmission, in a 2500 HD LTZ Z71. It’s a pulling machine.
I’ve got 122k miles on it, with only powertrain problem being left front brake caliper has had to be replaced twice.

The 400+ horsepower is plenty. It’s very torque plentiful, and handles a load very well.
If you want to give it a go with a load or a trailer full, keep your tires at 70psi, and just let it pull.

Personally, I think it is a VERY GOOD compromise between good power/but not too much that would destroy the rest of the powertrain (like the tuned up bazillion foot pound of torque diesels).
