Hi guys, I'm in the market for a truck. I've seen some 07 chevy's with some 6.0's and and denali's with 6.2. I really want the denali but I can't seem too find a good deal on them. My question is, how much difference is it in a 6.0 and 6.2? Is it a noticable difference?

With a custom tune, not much. :thumbs:

 

I've driven many of the 6.2 with 3.42s and quite frankly, I'd put my 6.0 with 4.10's up against it any day (gonna get flamed for that one). Stock.. that's a different story. How do you intend on using it? Thats a better question. No doubt, the 6.2 denali is a beast, but if you can't find one for a good price, then the 6.0 is a good contender especially with a custom tune.

 

JMO and welcome to the site.

6.2 all the way! Friend has a 2wd ext cab silverado lowered on 22's 4.10's bone stock run a 14.0 1/4and with intake he is running 13.8's now! I would be even faster on some 16 or 17's! My friend 2006 6.0 4.10's 2500 reg cab with tune and intake runs in the 15's ;)

I just intend to use it just for driving. But my uncle has an SS silverado and I just want to be on par or better than him. I really want the 6.2. What year did the 6.2 start coming in regular trucks

This year :thumbs: You can get a half ton like my friends with 6.2 and all the 3/4 ton goodies under it, like big trans,14 bolt rear with locker and 4.10's and disk brakes. It basically like a 1500hd lol

The 6.2 showed up in 2007 matted with the 6-speed trans for the denali. The 07-09 Vmax (L76 motor) 6.0 will walk all over that S.S. The SS has the LQ9 motor with 345hp and 380tq.. while the L76 motor has 367hp and 380tq. Tuned, I assure you, it will hang with the 6.2 and in the stock form will run all over that SS your uncle has. :thumbs: As mentioned above, you can get the 6.2 from 2010 up in the Silverado and the Sierra trucks and with the NHT you get the 3.73 gear package instead of the 3.42's. That should run over the current AWD denali's too.

 

If you use www.cars.com and do an advance search for new 2010-up Silverado 1500 or Sierra 1500 and "6.2L" in the key word section, you'll find several. :lol:

This will be my first truck ever and I have NO idea about gears. Let say, are gears in the 3s (3.42) more for like highway riding and 4s(4.10) for towing/torque

Another week and I'll have my Blackbear tune for my Vmax. Can't wait, I'll have to hunt down a 6.2 ;)

The higher the number, such as 4.10 the lower the gearing is. the 3.73 or 3.42 are going to be better for highway use. The 6.2L in the 2010 trucks is not available with the 4.10 gears, 3.73 is the lowest gears that you can get. I have the 6.2 with 3.73 gears and it is for sure a beast!!

Something to keep in mind with the gears, is the 6-speed has a lower first gear, and two over drive gears. Having the 2 extra gears over the 4-speeds an advantage and you don't need a rear end gear as low as you did with the 4-speed to make it a towing machine.

 

3.42's with the 6-speed are similar to a 4-speed with 4.10 gears as I understand it. If you find the 3.73's (NHT package) you'll have a towing beast :thumbs:

6.2 all the way! Friend has a 2wd ext cab silverado lowered on 22's 4.10's bone stock run a 14.0 1/4and with intake he is running 13.8's now! I would be even faster on some 16 or 17's! My friend 2006 6.0 4.10's 2500 reg cab with tune and intake runs in the 15's ;)

 

For sure 6.2L is a beast you'll love it. I've never driven the 6.0l so not sure the difference but since I've owned my 6.2L I have not been happier.

You're comparing a 2wd 1/2 ton to a 4wd 3/4 ton? And you expect the 6.0 in the 3/4 ton to be close to the 6.2l in the 1/2 ton? Put the 6.0l in the half ton and the 6.2l in the 3/4 ton, and the 1/2 ton will still win.

No he is comparing the v-max to the 6.2. Or at least that is the way im understanding it.

 

Edit: Oops sorry i thought you were referring to the OP and not that specific comment, My Bad!! :thumbs:

      This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.

      Transmission temperature 10speed with 3.0 LZO Duramax

      I traced the atf cooling system in my 1500 and it comes out of the transmission, into the bar/plate liquid/liquid heat exchanger, as stated above.  Then it crosses over to the external thermostat/bypass and then  to the aux cooler in front of the main radiator.  Hence, on this routing, the PPE thermostat bypass eliminator is an $85 piece of bling that does nothing for reducing atf temps on this truck.  I think I'll temporarily clamp a needle nose vise grip on the coolant feed hose to the bar/plate cooler and see how much the atf temp drops.  With the use of ULV trans fluid, I'm not convinced running the trans cooler than OEM spec is going to be detrimental to the life of the transmission.    I found this interesting on the Dana/Long site stating that they make transmission cooling/heating bar plate heat exchangers.  I worked with Dana/Long on a few projects when I was at the gas powered fun factory. https://www.dana.co.jp/downloads/PTG/Long/Dana_TOC_SpecSht.pdf  Bar plate heat exchangers are just a stack of stamped parallel path fluid channels, assembled and vacuum furnace brazed to make the final assembly.  Want more cooling/heating, just stack more plates until you run out of package space.   Anyway, thanks for the info, much appreciated.

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.
