My 6.0 hung with a chipped Dmax once... No factory dmax blows thick black smoke... so I'm sure a tuned 6.2 would easily kill a stocker Dmax. If you get the 6.2, go for the NHT max trailer package and pick up the 3.73's.

I've so far raced a Silverado VMAX with my Duramax and left him in the dust. Also was able to pull away from a New V-6 Tacoma that gunned it and I can tell you from first hand experience, those V-6 Tacoma's are FAST. (If you don't lift em) The D-Max may be slow off the line for the first 1-2 seconds but after that, watch out. I have a feeling a Stock D-Max will give a tuned 6.2L a good run for the money right up to the limiter.

You should also keep in mind that a simple performance tune for the D-Max can easily give the thing close to 50-100 more HP from what I am told. To see that kind of increase on the 6.2L, you'll need to consider a supercharger.

I have a built D max and a 07 procharged 1500 and you better not count out the D max because if someone know's how to spool it up and take off, it's good night right out of the hole for that other truck.

Yep, that is how it was in my 03' 12psi launch in 4wd, see you later!

What's your opinion in a race between a 2010 sierra/silverado 4wd 6.2l with a k&n cai and diablo programmer vs a 2010 silverado/sierra hd 4wd 6.6l stock?

 

 

My tuned 6.0 max package can beat a stock 09 d-max been there done that. So i assume a tuned 6.2 will be even faster. Your question was vs a stock dmax so not sure why everyone is posting about dmax's with programers.

My friend's 2500 Silverado D-max couldn't hang with my 5.3 6spd Tahoe let alone my Denali (which is 300lbs heavier than a Sierra Denali or Silverado).. Are you serious? My 6.2 would beat it by a mile.. and the faster i go the more it would pull. Go drive a 6.2 in anything then get back to us lol.. A chip'd D-Max would be a tight run with a Sierra or Silvy 6.2, probably beat my stock truck pretty good. Then if i were tuned/CAI/Exhaust i'm running a solid 13.7..

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
