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.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
