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.

Love the sound of mine at startup also. I'm usually remote starting the truck as I'm walking out to it, after work, and I've gotten many, many compliments from co-workers all with pretty much the same question shortly after or before they hear it, "What the hell is in that thing?" Blown 540 big block is my favorite response. LOL!

 

On another note, pulled down 13.8 mpg on E-85 this weekend, unloaded, but 10.8 with my two place enclosed snowmobile trailer on the back with one sled in it. Best unloaded mileage I've had so far on E-85 and by god does she like to pull that trailer on that stuff, yee haw! :cheers:

I'm new to the site, but I gotta tell you it's amazing how some dealers try to sell you what they have and not what you want. But then you find the one that knows you won't take less! I got my silver ice metallic LTZ CC with 6.2L NHT Saturday. It took less than 5 weeks from order to delivery. And it is awesome! It looks very tame but I know it won't be. But I didn't buy it for racing, just towing, boat or travel trailer. The break-in period will seem like forever. Especially since I'm going out of town Wednesday for a couple of weeks. Oh well, patience!

I've said it before and I'll say it again...........

 

Driving these 6.2l 1/2 ton trucks is like dieting, for me. I have as much trouble keeping my right foot out of it so that it gets good gas mileage as I do keeping myself from eating too many nice, big, jucy burgers with an order of fries. Maybe it just isn't meant to get good gas mileage and I'll always be overweight, who knows.

 

I will say this though, quitting smoking after 18 years, was easier than both of those issues, for me lol.

Bought mine in Jan. and the only thing done to it so far is a window tint. It pulls better stock than my old 07 Vmax which had a CAI and catback, and this one is much quieter. Question: I have only run 87 to 89 octane so far, is there really a difference in hp and mpg worth running 92? Throttle response via drive by wire is still horribe too.

Never ran anything less than 92 octane so I can't tell you personally but I'm sure that I've heard around here from other guys how horrible their 6.2's ran on anything less than premium fuel. It calls for premium or ethanol so that is all I run. With the compression ratio and camshaft profile that this engine is running, and being a veteran engine builder, I know that it has the ability through the ecm to pull timing and keep the engine "safe" on low octane fuel but that's not what the engine needs so I don't run it.

 

Had some smart ass kid chirp away from a stoplight in his brand new "boss" Poopstang this morning, on my way to the gym. Needless to say as he was running it out hard so I let the 6.2 eat and matched him door handle to door handle for a few blocks before we hit the next light. I love the looks on their faces when I do that. :rollin:

poopstang... LOL!!

 

dealer filled mine up with 87 so I am burning through it as fast as I can so I can put in some premium.

I've got others.......LOL.Besides, I'm sure (the numbers documented confirm it, actually) that he'd kill me in a 1/4 mile but stoplight to stoplight he couldn't shake me. :cheers:

 

See, that's BS. I busted my dealer's behind to make sure that they delivered it to me with premium fuel in it. Now, whatever they put in it to deliver it to me, no idea but it did show up in my driveway with full tank of Shell 93 in it.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
