for impressive torque. In fact, heavy-duty models with the Duramax Diesel 6600 V8 and Allison® transmission offer 310 hp and 605 lb-ft of torque — the most torque
in their class2 — and that helps make Sierra the most powerful line of V8 pickups available. In addition, with a specially tuned 345 hp Vortec 6000 V8, the Sierra Denali

6. TRANSMISSIONS.
09
LIGHT-DUTY TRANSMISSIONS. Every Sierra 1500 Series and 1500HD
truck features a rugged transmission engineered for smooth-shifting operation and
long-lasting durability. Standard and available transmissions include an electronic
four-speed automatic with overdrive or a five-speed manual with overdrive, depending
upon engine, body style and trim-level combination.
HEAVY-DUTY SERIES TRANSMISSIONS. Sierra heavy-duty trucks offer
a variety of standard and available transmissions matched to engine, body style and
trim level. Trucks with the Vortec 6000 V8 feature a five-speed manual transmission
or an available 4L80-E four-speed automatic transmission, which uses a high-extension
torque converter designed to help provide smooth power transition between gear
shifts. Heavy-duty trucks with either the Vortec 8100 V8 or Duramax Diesel 6600
V8 offer a fully synchronized ZF S6-650 six-speed manual transmission or an advanced
Allison 1000 Series five-speed automatic.
ALLISON 1000 SERIES FIVE-SPEED
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Heavy- duty trucks with either the Vortec 8100 V8 or
Duramax Diesel 6600 V8 offer an advanced Allison
1000 Series five - speed automatic. It includes an
advanced grade-braking capability for superb control
when trailering (especially downhill). When this feature
is activated in Tow/Haul mode, the transmission auto-
matically downshifts when the brakes are applied to
help slow the vehicle while descending a steep grade.
EXCLUSIVE EATON ® LOCKING
REAR DIFFERENTIAL1
All Sierra 1500, 1500HD and heavy-duty trucks offer
the Eaton automatic locking rear dif ferential. It is
designed to evenly distribute power to both rear wheels
in less-than-ideal traction conditions. At lower speeds,
the differential automatically senses wheel spin, locks
the rear axle and transfers torque to the rear wheel
with more traction, greatly helping your ability to handle
slippery road conditions.
