Did the bean counter or the engineer put that line in....................... WOW.
Did they say how much bigger the new engine would be over the old one??????????????
They must have been looking really hard for selling points.

why do they have to make the engine quietter? the 6.0 is quiet as it is. one of the best things about owning a diesel is its growl. fords starting to go the same way as chevy.
quiet+soft ride= a car. if you want somthing that isnt loud and dosent ride rough then dont buy a truck. thats just my thoughts on all the people that say "it rides to rough, and its to loud"

I agree, I think diesel trucks should be loud and mean. I also think though that they are making diesels quieter to make them more attractive to non traditional diesel buyers. I dont think they want just us rednecks buying these things anymore. On the bright side of things, the more diesels they sell, the more money they will have for R&D and the more money they have for R&D, the better the diesel engine will become for us rednecks.

I agree, I love the sound of my Diesels when I crack them off in the morrning, I also love the smell of diesel. I don't set there and huff on the pipe or anything, but I have the feeling that is going to be gone soon as well with all the filters and USLD.
As to the coment about Gm d-max's going the way of the car, I think Gm has a long, long way to go to get to the smooth ride of even the F350's I had a 2001 D-max crew GMC 3/4 ton, that was the roughest riding truck I have ever had. Where my 06' KR PSD is the smoothest riding truck I have ever had at least the smoothest 3/4 ton.
