We already made an in-depth video talking about the 3.0L Duramax, the pros and the cons, and while you might think the 2.8L Duramax is similar considering they're separated by a mere 200cc of displacement, they're actually nothing alike. So, with that in mind, it's time to a deep dive into the GM 2.8L LWN Duramax.

The strangest part about this 2.8L engine having the Duramax name, which a name that is often thought of exclusively with American trucks, is that it's not even close to being an American engine. Although, to be fair, the 6.6L Duramax also isn't an American engine, as it's manufactured by Isuzu.

Regardless though, the 2.8L Duramax is actually an older engine from VM Motori, which is a company that is actually now owned by Stallantis which is a company under the Fiat Chrysler umbrella, which is ironically where RAM got their EcoDiesel from. So, in a way, the 2.8L Duramax and the 3.0L EcoDiesel are actually related, as they're both designed by VM Motori.
