New Guy Michigan - 2015 LTZ 6.2 8 Speed

[gkmotzart]

Hi all. Just picked up my 2015 LTZ 2wd Crew with 6.2 8 speed on Jan 3. Been about 3-1/2 months since I ordered it. So I just put on some black bowties and a Belltech 3/5 lowering kit. Just had it aligned today. Rides like a dream. What you think??

 

Thanks for having me in the fourm.

Welcome, nice truck

Welcome looks good, I'm a sucker for a white truck lifted or lowered. You should do a build thread of mods you have done and mods you are going to do, it will also enable you to be nominated for TOTM. Also where are your center caps?

Ha! Didn't want the alignment guy prying on them with his nasty screw driver. lol

Oh and thanks for the welcome!

I guess they exist after all. I've had a GMC sierra 1500 6.2 2wd on order since Sept 13. They recently backed the build date up again to March 16. I'm not thrilled with GM. I'd like to know how satisfied you are with yours. I can't figure out why the build date is so slow.

I ordered mine on Sept. 15th. It was built on Dec. 8th. Picked it up on Jan. 3rd. My sales guy checked every Tuesday and we had to make some adjustments to get them to approve the build. Ended up only loosing the spray in bed liner. It took a month before they pulled the build ticket. No wheels, sunroof, engines, liner etc. One thing after another. As far as satisfied?? definitely yes. I had a 2007 and this truck is soooo much more quite. Sheet metal gaps are like a Lexus. Really nice truck. Hope yours shows up soon!!

How do you like the 6.2/8 speed? What's the 8speed like?

[gkmotzart]

Really like it so far. The 6.2 has plenty of power/torque. On the highway at 1500 rpm the truck is at 70. The 8 speed I really like as well. It will shift into 3rd by the time you cross the intersection. Under power like at 3 grand it will shift at 3000, drop to 2500 and pull to 3000 again and again and again. Kinda neat. Reminds me of F1 shifting.
