For this Chevrolet has been producing as many types of engines as there are in the industry so far, and among them the diesel engine from this brand have earned many accolades for the at-per performance they show while executing their assigned tasks. Because of this the Duramax engine have become synonymous with the heavy-duty horsepower and range of torque it is producing for decades. It is the same engine that drives the heavy duty trucks like Silverado HD and its sibling models.
