I was looking at Superduties today and the base engine was a 6.8l v10? Did I step in a time warp???? The specs look like the old engine.

It’s a V8 not a V10. It’s a smaller version of the 7.3 that came out 3 years ago and is replacing the 6.2 gasser

Got it. Thanks! I guess I was paying so much attention to the 7.3l, I failed to notice they added a new engine.

I haven’t seen a single real person review on the 6.8 yet. I was going to get one, if they would have come out sooner, finally had to look at other brands of trucks. Baffles me that GM and Dodge can make enough trucks to get to the lots and ford can only seem to get 1/2 tons there. Only SD you can get around here are the lowest package work trucks.

I saw that too, when I was looking. And then there was one dealer that had some but they were $8k over MSRP.

Grout-scout; Did you buy a truck and if so what did you wind up getting ? Thanks

I bought a 2023 Chevrolet 2500 CCLB with the 6.6L gas motor, done with the diesel maintenance.

The 2023 Super Duties are just now hitting the lots. Don't know if the 6.8 is offered in the initial run though.

Back when I was trying to build one online, it wasn’t an option. Has anyone seen the 2023 SD in person? I’m curious how they look, they sure do have some GM influence in their design.

Just online but have the 6.8l listed. I'd look on the lot if they had anything worth looking at. I can't believe I am saying it, but I may start looking at Chevy's.

I saw one this past weekend. Completely redesigned but if you're not specifically looking it almost passed for a previous model. New grill is so-so, cutout steps on side of bed stolen from GM. Peeked in the window and the new center screen looked good but rest of interior isn't too far a departure from previous model as well.

Lol, I swore I’d never buy another one and then when it was the only long bed gas motor that I could find, I had to change my mind. It’s actually peppier than I expected on the low end, kind of weak when getting on the interstate though.

What transmission are they running in the HD gas trucks grout? Is it the 10 speed or a 6?

The 2024’s now have the 10 speed.

Yep, they went to a 10 and I went with the 6. I watched a video and the guy said, “if it’s your daily driver, go with the 6 speed”. Unlike Ford, which skips gears (when not in tow mode), the GM runs through all 10 gears and guys have said that it feels slower. Not much fuel economy difference either. I plan on keeping this thing for eons, so I didn’t want to deal with potential first year issues. They did say that the 10 would be the better tower though.
