6.2 Section


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm thinking there should be a section in here that is only 6.2 related topics.

Theres enough of them and seem to be more and more coming a board.

Just a thought.

 

Maybe we can get a "PINNED" section. :D

There are no specialized engine forums. Only individual topics. Doesnt make sense then there would be a 4.3, 4.8. 5.3, 6.0, 6.2, etc.

I take that as a NO on the pinned topic.

I think there should be one. It's probably the most common topic as of late and it's fun to read reviews of guys towing with their 6.2's. I wonder if GM is getting more 6.2 buyers lately? There seems to be more talk of them lately.

No reason for a dedicated thread as anything that has to do with the 6.2 is applicable to the other V8s as well.

I think there should be a sticky post with the ordering info for the 6.2, ie: gears/rear axle/wheel sizes/rear discs etc since these questions seem to get asked over and over again.

Funny story from this weekend. My father in law, wife, son, and I went to go pick up his air compressor Friday (photos in picture forum). First time he has ever been in my truck. We leave his house and I pull on the main road and I barely hit the gas (no need to). He says "is something wrong does it take some time to get going?". My wife snickered in the back and I said no but I can put you into your seat then I hit it and he was like oooooo sheeeeettt haha. He drives a 94 s-10 and Tacoma 4 cylinders. He couldn't believe how smooth it was driving (shifting wise). Needless to say he will never again question the power of the 6.2 :lol:

 

I will create a sticky (not this one but a new one for all your 6.2L info needed) later today.

If you create a sticky, maybe you should delete one too? The top of the screen is getting long on "stickys".

agreed, they need to be cleaned up. Kind of hard right now trying to watch a 2 yr old and type on the computer.

:) My opinion... no need for a 6.2 section or sticky. The option codes are on the GM sites for buying, and what's special vs having a separate section for the 4.8, 5.3, or 6.0?

    • You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling. 
    • You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built. 
    • Diesel hit $6.00 here today at the truck stop.   Payed $2.79 for E85 today too.
    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
