From the daily commute to hauling stuff back from the home improvement store to making the most of every weekend, when it comes to getting things done, one truck has certainly made a name for itself- Silverado. The Right Truck. From Chevy.

From its selection of proven Vortec engines to its available Allison transmission to its wide selection of cab and bed configurations, and the new Half-ton Crew there is a Silverado capable of handling almost any task. Chevy Silverado delivers exactly what you’d expect from a Chevy Truck- the most dependable, longest-lasting trucks on the road.*

*Dependability based on longevity: 1981-July 2002 full-line light-duty truck company registrations. Excludes other GM divisions.

Indianapolis was 15 years into the 20th century on September 14, 1915, when James A. Allison founded the Indianapolis Speedway Team Company - the forerunner of today's Allison Transmission. From those beginnings, the company has become the world leader in the design, manufacture and sales of automatic transmissions for trucks, buses, off-road and military vehicles.  As we enter the 21st century, Allison Transmission retains its rich legacy of technological innovation, product quality and employee dedication. These qualities have made the company a world leader throughout its more than 85 year history.

The Duramax Diesel 6600 V8 engine has been designed to satisfy the heavy-duty customer's need for power, durability, and fuel efficiency. In short, this is the most powerful diesel ever produced for a GM heavy-duty pickup or chassis cab. Available now in 2500 HD and 3500 GMC Sierra® and in Chevrolet Silverado® pickups and chassis cabs.


The Duramax Diesel 6600 has exceptional power and performance. Ratings are 300 horsepower @ 3,000 rpm and 520 lb-ft of torque @1,800 rpm. It's high, flat torque curve will deliver more power across the power band than any competitor, and will help Duramax Diesel 6600-equipped GM HD pickups excel in off-the-line performance, acceleration and heavy-duty trailering and hauling.
