Dave,
Wow! I got this out on Chevrolet's web site:

Duramax Diesel 6600 V8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For production units through Sept. 2005 with the Allison six-speed automatic transmission:
310 horsepower @ 3000 rpm
605 lb.-ft. of torque @ 1600 rpm

For production units after Sept. 2005 with the Allison six-speed automatic transmission:
360 horsepower @ 3000 rpm
650 lb.-ft. of torque @ 1600 rpm

With the Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission:
310 horsepower @ 3000 rpm
605 lb.-ft. of torque @ 1600 rpm

With the ZF six-speed manual transmission:
300 horsepower @ 3000 rpm
520 lb.-ft. of torque @ 1600 rpm

650 fpt is a whole lot of umph! I am sure which ever one you end up with you will be happy. I had a Chevy, test drove and test drove both gas and diesel engines until my wife wanted to disown me. Finally wound up with a Dodge and couldn't be happier. Good Luck and Happy Holidays.

God Bless America
