I have been trying to get a concrete answer about this for a while ... I have emailed/posted on GM facebook, asked on the full size forum page and also asked pickuptrucks.com. Why can't you get the 6.2 in a regular cab set up ???????? It seems you can get the top dog drive train in toyota ,ram not sure about 6.2 in fords reg cab ? Anyways I own a regular cab and it serves me very well, but I would love to have that big ole 6.2 in it! So what do you guys think ? It seems stupid not to offer it in all cab and beg configuations.

This is a video showing how the 6.2L sounds with headers and a corsa catback. The crew cab is my 6.2L, the 2005 extended cab is a 5.3L with a magnaflow muffler welded in.

Tons of reasons which you will never get a 100% concrete this is why we didnt do it.

 

Business related (sales, cost), government regulations (CAFE)

Has anyone put a cold air kit on the 6.2 and had any good results? Also what about these E3 Spark plugs that they swear gives you better power and more miles per gallon?

I just put on this http://store.knfilte...px?Prod=57-3058 on Thursday and after about 200 miles, I can tell a difference. The response is quicker and seems to run a lil bit better! I can't really answer about mpg because I have been punching it hard since.

 

But my kit is for an 08 sierra denali and I don't know if its the same as yours!

After I put mine on, I could tell better throttle response, and that noise, O that noise. Around that 3k RPM the noise of the engine sucking in air is amazing, not loud or annoying, just intoxicating. As far as MPGs, maybe a little, but not enough to make a huge difference. (see sig for mods)

I installed a 63 series K/N CAI along with Hypertech prog. both at the same time and mine really woke up and was pegging the speedometer's 120mph in no time and was lighting the tires with little effort. since then I have added wider tires (305/50/20's) and magna flow exhaust and TB spacer. I am able to hit 140mph on a straight road little wing and within 2 miles or less with the mph recorded on my navigation device I keep in my truck which is right on with my speedometer. I have not got a good 1/4 mile recorded time but it is quick IMA

Hi, Just wanted to update some info on my 2012 silverado L9H. I added the optima 34r battery and it fits with no modifications as shown. I also added the factory chevy red led light to the rear under the tail gate. It is a very close fit as you can see but it did work and looks good. I will be installing the rancho Quick lift next week and will show some before and after photos. I had the same lift on my 2011 and was very pleased with the ride and handling and the Quality of the product.

Do yourself a favor and just get a current 6.2. The new trucks won't be out for another 18 months and you're probably not going to want to buy a few year or two of an all new vehicle/engine combo. I won't. I figure that my '11 should be ready for replacement just about the time that the CK2XX's are all debugged. Kind of like how my '11 currently is. :cheers:

      NEW TRUCK

      By PUSSLEGUT · Posted

      I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      By bruceb58 · Posted

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.
