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.

Why do I read this thread??? Every time I do it makes me want to to go to the dealer and get myself a 6.2L. But I'm kinda holding out for the new trucks. ....Maybe.... haha

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:

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
