Chevrolet continues to throw updates at its diesel-powered half-ton pickup, even if it's the last in its segment.

The Silverado's diesel engine is a 3.0-liter Duramax inline-six.

Thanks to improvements that first arrived for 2023, the Duramax 1500 produces a meaty 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque.

The Duramax is no slouch, shooting a 2024 Silverado ZR2 to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement over numbers we recorded in a 2020 Silverado LTZ.

It's a pretty quiet diesel too. Our microphones recorded just 41 decibels of noise at idle and 71 decibels under wide-open throttle. Most of the time, the all-terrain tires underfoot made more noise than the six-pot.

The ZR2 clears the quarter-mile mark in 15.3 seconds at 89 mph.

The ZR2's 21-mpg EPA combined estimate might seem paltry, but that's a whopping 6 mpg better than the rating of its 6.2-liter V-8 counterpart.

On the ZR2, the diesel is the base engine. Opting for the 6.2-liter will require an extra $1500.

However, if you want to equip the off-road-ready Trail Boss trim with the Duramax, you'll have to shell out $2590 to upgrade from the 2.7-liter inline-four, or $795 to upgrade from the 5.3-liter V-8.

As for competitors? Since Ram and Ford both discontinued their light-duty diesel offerings, the GM truck stands alone.

Too many men: No. 2 Oregon purposely induced late penalty in win over No. 4 Ohio State
No. 2 Oregon had 12 men on the field late in its 32-31 win over No. 4 Ohio State, with the resulting penalty causing precious seconds to wind off the clock. “We spend an inordinate amount of time on situations and some situations don't come up very often in college football, but this was obviously something we had worked on,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said Monday night. Oregon took the lead with 1:47 left on Atticus Sappington’s 19-yard field goal in Saturday night's game, giving the Buckeyes time to drive down the field for a potential winning field goal.
