Thanks man. No Quarter= awesome Led Zeppelin song and answer to your question. How about you?

 

Never ran it? I don't have any slips either, I will this summer tho. I have done lots of data logging, and tried using my aeroforce intercepter gauge. It calculates that crap, I've tried GPS as well they seem to be close. With me in it , half a tank, my tool box in the back it's around 6800 lbs.

 

I should run 13.2-13.4, under 2 second 60' time...people with same truck exact same mods, same gearing, tuner and everything run 12.5-12.75 at stock height stock size tires. But I dunno yet, can't prove it YET...lolololol I will find out this summer tho!

 

Seat was out to clean, snapped a photo..

The times I think I've ran are pretty consistent with my gauge/GPS leaving at 7-8lbs of boost. I know I can boost launch a little harder but I don't want to with 35's. I have got a 1.8 60' time once tho...I've done alot of looking around too. My gauge seems pretty close to what real times would be, but I really don't know for sure....

Haven't even done a "mock" run yet. I have a scanguage II that has some performance features, like zero to speed times(0-60, 0-100) braking distances(60-0, etc.) and time to distance in feet. Plan to find a non public road and play around with launch parameters like rpm, 2wd vs 4wd and other variables. Callaway rates it at a 13.4 second quarter mile, and I should be right around there as I would never do any modification that would void my warranty... :thumbs:

At the HP you are running, it should be into 13 flat high 12 range IMO. Boost launch in 4x4, a tuned stock 6.2 can do 13's urs should be close to 13 flat depending on gearing..

 

6.2's are awesome, I've raced a few of them now for stock trucks they are beasts. No other half ton puts up a fight like the 6.2, a blown 6.2 would be a real threat in the trap. I can leave the line at 10# of boost tho, it leaves like a sling shot...

Duramax with lift pump, straight pipe, built tranny, stock engine/turbo with a good custom tune will run 12.8-12.9...stock tranny can run low 13's, if it doesn't limp half track. Tranny safe will run 13.8-14, a blown 6.2 would be fun. I would want a ride in that thing. It must be a rocket from a 60 roll...

Ya that's my plan, I wanna try it out as it sits. Then come back with tool box out, stereo out, smaller bumper, stock size tires and tail gate off. She what she runs then for comparison..stuck with the weight of the lift tho :(

Thanks Daryl. That 6.2 you're rollin' is pretty sweet as well.

 

 

Thanks. It'll look better though once I do the HD front clip conversion, make it sit a little higher, and add the street style fender flares painted to match with some wider wheels & tires. :)

 

BTW those headlights looks sweet!

Thanks bud! I like me a 6.2 too!! :)

 

And yes, I love them lights he's got on his truck too. Real classy, clean look to them. A+ in my book!

    • But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate. 
    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
