    Hey, Any resources on this website for exhaust systems or muffler swaps for the the 6.2L? I have an '13 CC with the 6.2L and want to make it a little louder then stock. Looking for ideas. I was thinking of just doing a swap for a straight through muffler and keeping the rear resonator or thinking of deleting the muffler altogether and keeping the stock resonator but that may be too loud for me. Seems cheaper then a full system to basically achieve the same thing... Magnaflow has a straight through 3.5'' in/out muffler for about $100 that seems would work well.

    So I spoke with the dealer today. They said the same thing as was mentioned above, that they know about this issue, and there really is no fix other then getting a timer for the block heater cord and don't recommend cutting the end and installing a normal plug end. He said they have no clue why GM did something stupid like this and that I was better off leaving it unplugged then plugged in...

    So after the truck spending another cold night outside (-33) I started it up this morning without having it plugged in. To my surprise It started up first shot without a problem at all. Just the typical cold weather squeak all cars have haha. I read up and found that the block heater being plugged in for extended periods of time causes issues. Its recommended to only plug it in 3 hours before you intend on leaving...wtf kind of poopoo is that? My truck starts better without it being plugged in it seems. weird. Ill plug it again tonight but I am sure the same thing will happen.

    I haven't tried without the block heater plugged in. I doubt it will make much a difference seeing how the GM block heater barely ever turns on apparently. I left it outside tonight unplugged, Ill report back with results in the morning. Glad to hear though that someone else had the same problem.

    Hey guys, I have a 2013 with the 6.2L and have a question to see if anyone else has the same issue. It has been -40 Celsius (same in fahrenheit) for the last two nights. My truck has been plugged in both those nights. When I came to start it both times, the truck cranks no problem, starts has a rough idle for 3-5 seconds, sputters and shuts off. I start it again and it starts without any issues the second time. I have NEVER had a vehicle do this including my last silverado with the 5.3L. Just curious is the 6.2L not as good in the cold? Is this normal? My truck only has 15,000km

    Hey guys! Old thread I know hehe. How's the trucks doing for the people that cut the cord ends with the thermostats? It's been -40 for two days overnight here and I can't take my truck sounding like a dying rabbit every time I start it after its been sitting for 12 hours in this cold. Seems like the block heater isn't working at all. Piece of crap.
