The 6.2 and the 5.3 use the same fuel system I believe. They're both direct injection systems. I personally have a 2017 sierra with a 6.2 and the 8 speed, and I beat it up on a daily basis and never had any issues. My transmission used to shift oddly and rough, but got better over time, and basically cured itself when I put 285/55r22 tires on. Now it never misses a beat. I would not recommend putting bigger tires on the truck as they rub.
