The Powerful 2022 Chevy Silverado HD Diesel Specs

We often see Chevy Silverado Diesel HD pickups handling some of the toughest jobs in the Lehi area. One look at the impressive specs of these trucks will tell you why. The Chevy Silverado 3500 diesel engine can crank out well in excess of 400 horsepower and 910 lb-ft. of torque. And that’s not to mention the massive towing capacity of these trucks. Of course, the Chevy Silverado 2500 diesel can pull its own weight, as well. The Silverado 2500 Duramax diesel engine is the same one that’s under the hood of the 3500. We talk about that in more detail below.
